About
Verdant Skies is a life simulation game born from a love for games like Harvest Moon and a desire to create something unique with modern gameplay and deep storytelling. Lose yourself in the lovingly hand-painted alien world of Viridis Primus. Ensure the success of the colony as you make friends and pursue romance with a diverse cast of characters. Demonstrate your mastery of the farming system by creating the perfect crop hybrid using the genetic splicing machine - or spend your days painting and making pottery. The possibilities are endless!
With many natural skin tone options and tons of unique hair styles and clothing choices you can easily craft your perfect avatar. Unlike many games in this genre, Verdant Skies doesn't ask you to choose a gender when you create your character. As you help to grow the colony, you will unlock additional datable residents.
Split your time wisely between activities as you help to build your colony. Gather resources, decorate your home, grow crops, go spear fishing, cook interesting meals, befriend your fellow colonists, and maybe even fall in love...
Verdant Skies has support for modding, players have created artwork replacement mods, new characters, extra tips, and more! If you love Verdant Skies, check out Forager and Staxel!

It feels like an early access. Its kinda ugly for my taste and a bit boring. Resources are easy to find and respawn at the next day I think. It has an energy bar that depletes way too fast when mining/cuting trees, but it moves next to nothing when doing other activities. Hell I didnt even make an hour and I got every fish.

I’ve definitely given Verdant Skies a fair chance, but overall it just felt like playing it was a chore. I actually bought this title forever ago when it was first hitting the scene around 2017. For years, I went on and off attempting to play it, but I just could never get it to grow on me. I finally forced myself to sink in a bunch of hours to try and make it work, but in the end, I still left feeling disappointed that there wasn't more. While it provides a single unique mechanic, it's definitely a one-trick pony, and there are far better farming games out there that deserve your time. The game's absolute strongest point is the genetic breeding system. Splicing DNA and optimizing your crops and animals is a pretty interesting mechanic. After looking into it, it appears to be the only game on the market that features this exact mechanic. So in all fairness, if that sounds like something you'd be deeply into, buy it. But if that's the only thing you're buying it for, just be prepared to really only get that, because the rest of the package heavily falls short. The art style definitely contributes to that disappointment because it is just so completely unpleasant to look at over long play sessions. The hand-drawn presentation feels incredibly stiff, flat, and lacks any real visual depth. That flatness sadly bleeds directly into the characters themselves. While the game features commendable diversity in its romance options, the writing leaves them feeling totally hollow. I wasn't particularly impressed with any of them, and I never found myself genuinely attached or swooning over anyone. I did genuinely appreciate the lack of energy bars or hard curfews, which completely removes the tediousness of rushing home before passing out and creates a nice, relaxed pacing. But a smooth schedule can't save a map that is extremely small and quickly begins to feel restrictive. Once you clear the basic progression milestones, there simply isn't any real substantive endgame content to look forward to that I am aware of. I genuinely hate being harsh when it comes to indie titles, but a unique gene splicing mechanic and the removal of stamina management can't carry a world that feels this hollow. Unless you are desperate for that specific lab-breeding loop, I would suggest skipping this one for more polished alternatives.
its a great game
This game almost feels embarrassing to own. The graphics are bad, the characters are boring, the gameplay is repetitive and boring. The setting feels empty. It almost feels like a child with a minimal amount of imagination created the game. Not to mention, some of the gameplay is even so convoluted, you don't even want to do it. It shifts between boring and "wtf is this?"
체력이 진짜!!! 짧음 일어나서 돌 세번 내려치면 애가 기절할것같다면서 화면 가쪽이 뿌옇게 흐려짐. 쓰리디 멀미 심한 사람으로써 달갑지 않은 연출. 그리고 진짜 농담 아니고 돌 세번? 정도 내려치면 계속 기절할 것 같습니다! 하고 경고 문구가 뜸. 초반에 식량을 따로 주지도 않고 초기 주민? 들이 뭐 도움을 주는 것도 아니어서 직접 베리같은거 찾아 먹어야 하는데 좀 킹받음. 영어는 그냥 농장겜답게 아무리 어려운 단어 나오고 그래도 대충 다 비슷비슷함. 그래서 설렁설렁 넘기면서 읽어도 이해 가능. 맵이.... 막 스듀나 그런 다른 농장겜 맵 생각하면 안 됨. 그냥 하얀 동그라미 중앙에 본인 위치 뜨고 뭐 중요한 건물? 위치? 같은것만 동서남북 어디로 가야 하는지 아이콘으로 뜸. 개인적으로 이런 맵 안 좋아함. 컨트롤러로 게임을 보통 하는데, 특히 이런 농장겜은 컨트롤러만 쓰는데, 일단 튜토리얼부터가 너무 불친절하고 키보드 사용도 다를것 없을것 같긴 하지만 컨트롤러 조작 키를 안 알려줘서 초반에 계속 헤맸음. 키보드 마우스 쓰면 최소한 클릭이라도 했을 텐데 컨트롤러는 그게 안 되니까 킹받았음. 근데 진짜 튜토리얼이 없다고 보면 될듯. 알려주는게 ....없음. 그리고 주변 캐들이 시작부터 너 안도와줄거지롱 ^^ 이라고 직접적으로 말을 해서... ... 시작부터 정이 떨어짐 ... ... ... 뭐 어쩌라고? 싶음 ... ... ... 30분 했는데 시작하자마자 음... 별로다... 했기 때문에 비추천... 근데 또 계속 해보면 다를지도 모르겠는데 일단 다른 재밌는 농장겜 안해본게 많기 때문에 그거 다 하고 할거 떨어지면 돌아오는 것으로. 그전까지는 반품합니다.
This is an indie farming sim that has some unique things going for it (gene splicing crops and animals). Don't expect an extremely polished game and the things that you can do are somewhat limited. However, I do love playing it and will try to get most of the achievement. There is a lot of dialogue which is cool for an indie farming game. Whether or not you enjoy this game is dependent on if you enjoy a somewhat casual spin on the genre.
Almost all my 4,8 hours ingame were wasted with an unbelievably clunky interface in a very unsatisfying character-creation and a bit of looking for scrap and such with bad grafics , again with a very clunky interface untlil I just gave up and uninstalled and hid the game as a waste of money .
Came back to this game after a long time and finally noticed what a hidden gem it was. In a time where the farming/cozy genre is getting saturated, this game truly was and still is a breath of fresh air. It introduces a seemingly similar gameplay of grinding, farming, gifting, unlocking bundles, but done with a vastly unique style from Stardew Valley and most farming games. The setting leans toward sci-fi colony building, and the fact you can combine seeds to make them grow faster or yield more is extremely fun and unique. It's an old game, but is still very fun and refreshing compared to all the other same-y farming games.
Sehr schönes Updates für das Steam Deck. Damit wurde das Spiel dann für die normale Version unspielbar gemacht. Bei einem neuen Spiel ist der Zoom sofort so stark vergrößert, dass man nur noch die Schuhe sieht. Beim neu laden war dann der Mauszeiger komplett unsichtbar.
