It’s a really fun cozy MMO that has kept me addicted all week! To me it’s a beautiful fusion between Stardew Valley and RuneScape.
Fishing, Farming, Woodcutting, Hunting, Mining, Cooking, even Furniture Crafting are all skills you can level to unlock new things to do associated with that activity. Along with all the socialising NPCs and romancing that Stardew has to offer. Such a great hook and gameplay loop that has me wholly absorbed.
I tried Palia these last few days and it is great with a really nice wholesome community! Already had some fun cooking and flow tree parties.
At least for now, there is no furniture behind a paywall. You get your own plot and can decorate and furnish it and it looks great. This is rare in free to play games. I hope they keep it that way…
The only stuff behind microtransactions as of today are a handful of costumes. With hefty prices, though. At least for the European market. One costume costs 20 to 35 Euro, if I remember correctly.
There are a lot of players already, the Discord alone had some 70k people yesterday evening. 0o
