Sun Haven, fantasy farming sim with RPG twist, incoming for Nintendo Switch
Sun Haven, which has earned a strong reception on PC, will now be making its way to Nintendo Switch. Pixel Sprout Studios will be bringing it over on November 29, 2024. Note that this date only applies to the Americas but other regions will follow soon.
As for the actual game, Sun Haven is a fantasy farming sim with RPG twist. While it won’t include multiplayer on Nintendo Switch, the team “will be looking into how difficult it will be” to support the functionality following launch.
A ton of information about the game can be found in the following overview:
Immerse yourself in over 30,000 lines of dialogue, romance any (or all…) 23 characters, embark on side quests, interact with hundreds of unique NPCs, solve riddles, and discover secrets all around you in this lore-rich, story-driven world. Your actions may shape your journey, but your choices will determine your legacy. Where will your adventure take you?
Every Sun Haven playthrough is fully customizable with tons of in-game settings. Adjust the length of each day to be faster or shorter, make yourself invincible to damage, turn off seasonal pests that eat your crops, toggle weather effects on and off, or just enjoy the vanilla game with default settings!
Play through all four seasons, each with its own seasonal weather and effects, and utilize upgradeable farming tools and magic spells to grow fruits, vegetables, and flowers! Manage your time across 3 different farms with their own unique crops, fruit trees, and animals to take care of!
Raise classic farming livestock like cows, chickens, sheep, pigs, and other fantastical creatures like silk moths, baby griffons, phoenixes, werewolves, tar slimes, and more! In addition to barn animals, you can also collect a ton of pets and mounts that can accompany you on your adventures. Who doesn’t love adorable companions?
Upgrade and customize up to 8 houses with hundreds of exterior decoration options for your house’s roof, walls, windows, doors, and patios, as well as over 30 themed sheds that can be placed anywhere on your farm — and that’s not including the treehouse in Nel’Vari and the Apartment in Withergate! Homes, sheds, and farms can be furnished with hundreds of different furniture and decor items that can be purchased, crafted, received in the mail, or traded in multiplayer.
Explore the medieval town of Sun Haven, the elven forests of Nel’Vari, the monster city of Withergate, or the mysterious underwater region of The Brinestone Deeps!
Experience heartwarming events with 23 available marriage candidates across all four towns through gifts, dialogue, events, quests, dates, and more! After getting married, upgrading your house, and maintaining a good relationship with your spouse, you’ll have the option to have one child through the powerful magic in Sun Haven!
Enjoy the easy-to-learn, hard-to-master fishing minigame and catch over 130 fish across the world. These fish can be sold, cooked, donated to the Sun Haven Museum, gifted, or used in various quests!
Build and utilize over 40 unique crafting tables for cooking, smithing, construction, farming, furniture, and even alchemy! All four towns also have town-specific items and recipes!
Fight tons of unique enemies across four towns. With swords, crossbows, staffs, and magic spells, the possibilities for combat are endless. Buy or upgrade your armor, eat food to increase your maximum stats, and unlock perks in the massive skill tree to unleash your full potential!
If you’re in a pinch, you can temporarily unlock mine floors with rusty keys, or permanently unlock them with smelted keys. Grab the chests on every 10th floor, upgrade your armor and tools with better ore, and fight enemies for loot!
Test your strength in the Combat Arena alone or with friends. Fight your way through multiple different types of bosses and win amazing loot if you come out on top!
Customize your character to your heart’s content with seven different races, ten different starting professions, and hundreds of clothing, hair, and other customization options. If you decide you want to change your appearance a few hours in, don’t worry — just take a trip to the Sun Haven Salon!
Enjoy seasonal festivals, holidays, and events, and make merry with all the different townsfolk. You’ll find some exclusive shop items such as pets, furniture, and food to buy at these festivals, so don’t forget your wallet!
The museum needs your help! Be sure to hang onto all the little trinkets you find when you’re out fishing, mining, foraging, or fighting. One adventurer’s trash is a museum’s treasure!
Utilize the combat, exploration, farming, fishing, and mining skill trees to upgrade your character with tons of different buffs, skills, weapons, and spells. Once you hit level 70 in each skill, you can purchase skill elixirs from the Sun Haven Town Hall or craft skill tomes at an anvil to grow even stronger!
