Released on August 5, Fields of Mistria is already catching the attention of Steam users, as the Stardew Valley-inspired farming RPG holds a 98% positive rating on Valve's platform. At the time of writing, Fields of Mistria is in Early Access with a price starting at $13.99, and is garnering praise from Steam players across the board, with its art style listed among the game's strong points.
Developed and published by the Chicago-based NPC Studio, Fields of Mistria takes inspiration from farming simulators like Stardew Valley and Harvest Moon, and mixes in some exploration and RPG elements that reward players for completing activities around their farm and the nearby areas. However, Fields of Mistria added a dose of nostalgia to its design, as the art style is reminiscent of titles from the SNES era alongside 1990s anime such as Sailor Moon. The titular town of Mistria is a place filled with dormant magic that the player character is tasked with discovering. Fields of Mistria also includes player pronoun and appearance options, and up to 12 eligible NPCs that players can court throughout the game's story.
