Stardew Valley in Space! I was already sold! Except... This game is good and worth your time, especially if you're a casual Stardew player or a Animal Crossing fiend. The main issue in this game is grind - the days are too short to accomplish what you want while also tending the farm, and the automation abilities don't do enough to offset this. This is a very long term game to spend time playing if you want to 100% it, and not all that time spent feels great. The good: Characters are well written and progress based on your relationship. Quest system is great. UI is wonderful. Inventory management has a few rough bits that you'll learn to work around quickly, but mostly great. General vibe is excellent, and the worlds you visit have enough flavor that you won't mind how repetitive the gameplay is too much. The bad - the devil is in the details: Exploring the planets is ok at first and then never improves. Shoot any baddies near you, then rocks, pick up things, then dig until you find the ladder to the next level. It's Stardew's cave system at its worst and most basic, with nothing but basic upgrades to the damage done by your main weapon. You do get a charge up shot, which is basically worthless except for mowing the lawn for fodder. Other upgrades are in the same line as Stardew, with holding the button spending more stamina for more impact. Travel time between planets is three days - which is fine the first go around, because you have things to do on the ship to keep you busy. By the time the game asks you to do a second go-around after the main mission, this travel time is painfully long. There's at least a way to purchase meteorites at the end of the game to speed along relic gathering. Relationships are a bit of a grind, but once the farm is going, you just give everybody jam or fabric and stop trying to match gifts to people. There's too many people with too long of a morale bar. The ship computer and your pet should have short friendship bars, and then the romanceable characters should have longer friendship bars to fill with more events outside of dates. The fishing minigame is microbe hunting, and not only is it critical to 100% the game, it's boring, repetitive, and honestly a little too difficult for a chill game unless you turn on a setting in the options menu. Upgrades to your fishing equipment doesn't make anything easier or faster - it just allows more mistakes. You will play the boring circle minigame 300 times if you want to complete the bar for them. Everything else is good if not great. Despite the complaints I have above, I think this game is an B+, but needs work to hit an A.

It is... different! - slow paced - progressive grinding - quite repetitious - sweet pixel art - but relaxing too The Devs believed in "copy n paste" when it come to the "chapter" design. "Credits" is all you get when finishing quests (most of the time) Wouldn't buy it for 20 bucks - just wait until it's on discount for 5 bucks again!

Like alot of ppl already stated, like Stardew Valley but then in space. While this is true in some extend, in practice this all comes down to get a solid source of income $$, so u want to plant alot of crops and maintain that and automate that mid-to lateron (talking 50 stations + here). So u A: get money in profit, for upgrades and all that even resource buying if in shortage. B: develop food more then just plucked from it's station for repleneshing energy and this is key to efficiency, there are alot of options to develop food furtheron using different methods, from pressing to freezing. Why? well shooting critters while exploring is needed and also breaking stones, digging all that requires energy so if u have a good pool of goods, - only time will be your enemy once well supplied and have a good incoming supply, plan things ahead and well atleast i am having a great time playing this game. i hope u do too! it's adorable, well optimized, story is charming.

TRDR: Loved it, hope multiplayer is introduced I stumbled upon Little Known Galaxy thanks to TikTok, and let me tell you, it’s been a game-changer for my partner and me. We were knee-deep in a Stardew Valley multiplayer escapade when this gem came along, and it completely hijacked our gaming schedule – in the best possible way. At first glance, you might roll your eyes and think, "Oh great, another Stardew knockoff," but let me assure you, Little Known Galaxy is in a league of its own. While it shares some similarities with our beloved farming sims, it manages to carve out its own niche brilliantly. One thing that immediately grabbed my attention was how it made me genuinely care about the characters and restoring the ship, which is something Stardew always missed the mark for me with restoration of the community centre. I will acknowledge some of the lower scoring reviews here as well, and say that I do wish that I had the ability to extend how long a day is, or that I had a little more energy to work with as collecting some materials can be a bit of a grind. [EDIT: Regarding the grind, after a bit more game-play and upgrading my laser gun once (was easy enough to achieve this) the grind dissipated and I now feel like the pacing is spot on. I feel like the people whop reviewed negatively based on this, gave up well before that point, the grind is no different to Stardew's early game grind.] I saw a few complaints about the difficulty of the microbe system, which after trying I was a little shocked by. I found the microbe catching system a touch easier than Stardew Valley's fishing, which is also notorious for being a tricky mini-game for new players. That said I noticed that the creators (a husband & Wife duo) are incredibly responsive to feedback, having already implemented some brilliant improvements, including more alien hair/skin colours, faster walk speed, NPC locator and ability to rename your Tav, the ship etc. With so many great QOL updates already made, I hope that Carbon & Kay hear the constructive feedback and make the necessary adjustments to keep the game challenging and fun. It doesn't have a multiplayer mode at this stage and I couldn't find any indication that this was something planned for the game. My partner and I would LOVE if a multiplayer mode could be introduced, whereby Captain and vice/co/assistant to the captain work together to rebuild the community and explore space. Whether it's nurturing crops, exploring the vastness of space, or fostering relationships with the diverse cast of characters, there's never a dull moment in Little Known Galaxy. It's the perfect blend of familiarity and innovation that keeps you hooked from start to finish.

Literally STAR-dew vally. 10/10 would recommend to any stardew vally, innocent life, etc fans. I hope the developers are as great as Concerned Ape is and continue to add and add. My ONLY issue so far is that as a legally blind person who still has sight, the text is just a little to small for me, but the average person will NOT have this issue.
