The verdict
A huge, cozy fantasy take on Stardew with magic, no stamina bar and tons of content. Skip it if bugs, shallow NPCs, cosmetic DLC spam or the studio's labor controversy bother you.
Great for
Stardew fans wanting fantasy, magic, races, romance and co-op with friends at a relaxed pace
Main risk
Bugs, shallow bloated content and the studio's ethics can sour the experience
