Fields of Mistria, a farm simulator that has garnered significant praise and comparisons to Stardew Valley, is currently available at a discounted price. The game, which has been in Early Access for two years, is set to launch its full 1.0 version in August. During the ongoing Steam Summer Sale, it can be purchased for $11.19, representing a 20% discount from its usual price.
The game draws inspiration from magical girl anime and features a cast of characters described as more charming and lively than those found in many other farm sims. Players have noted the difficulty in choosing a romantic partner among the NPCs, a feature that will be fully realized with the 1.0 launch. Despite its quality, Fields of Mistria has maintained a lower price point than many similar titles, typically retailing around $14. The developer, NPC Studio, has confirmed that this price will not increase with the upcoming major update.
The impending 1.0 release marks the transition from Early Access to a complete product, and the current sale offers an opportunity for players to acquire the game at a reduced cost before its official debut.
