Deserved, beast of a game.

Stardew Valley, the fantastical country-life RPG from Eric Barone (a.k.a. 'ConcernedApe'), has sold over 15 million copies to-date.

The milestone was quietly announced on the Stardew Valley press page, and comes over five years after the title launched in February 2016.

Barone spent four years solo-developing Stardew Valley ahead of its initial PC launch, and since then the title has gone from strength-to-strength.

Incredible game and the fact that Eric continually updates it is the best part.

 

[Topher]

The game is a masterpiece. To this day, I'm still amazed that it was all done by one guy.

 

[Gameplaylover]

Well deserved, the gameplay is addicting and much better than in most AAA games.

 

[Holammer]

Very likely sold more than *ALL* Harvest Moon & Story of Seasons games combined and it's going to continue selling. Yes, the game is an absolute beast.

Got 349h out of it for just 14€ and I'll probably play it again.

 

[MasterDerico]

Well deserved, little Gem!

 

[OrionNebula]

Well-deserved, from all I heard and read

I still have to play it, but the soundtrack is Fan-Tas-Tic!

 

[JCK75]

It's really among my favorite games of all time, which is weird because I'm usually the type that needs to shoot something in the face to enjoy a game..
I've purchased it on at least 4 platforms and then again two more times on two platforms for my son.

 

[Kokoloko85]

Bloodborne, MGSV, Destiny and Stardew Valley were my most played games last gen. I played a bunch on the PS5 too. Love it and well deserved.
Definitely one of my favourite games of last gen and all together

 

[Punished Miku]

I love Harvest Moon but have had a difficult time getting roped into this one.

Every time I see a thread like this, I feel like firing it up again on Switch to see where I went wrong.

 

[AJUMP23]

I just didn't enjoy this game. I played it for probably 10 hours, put it down, never looked back.

Because if this was an AAA it wouldn’t be approved.

A single person with a vision, is usually a start of great things.

Maybe... You should play it with M+KB?
I tried to play it with a pad, but it does not compare. Same goes for Terraria, playing it with a controller feels like participating in Special Olympics.

The only aspect that I believe is better with a pad is the dungeon crawling. Could just be me though!

Yes, it's great for that, but if you need to access inventory it starts to fail imo.
I used a pad to beat the difficult Journey of the Prairie King minigame achievements. Use the best tool for the job.

 

[Spukc]

I wonder how much they would have sold if it was priced 60 i stead of 12.

Fucking dumb ass AAA pricing

I played both with controller =P

Though I ended up getting the mobile version of Stardew, touch controls are soooo good for that game.

 

[Marvel14]

Its a marvel alright.....entertainment time per dollar spent is through the roof..

 

[RaptorGTA]

its such a perfect little game.
