Within the period of farmlife sims exploding on PC, new video games actually should deliver one thing particular to catch my consideration. The pitch for Tales of Seikyu consists of kissing demon folks and yeah, that’ll do it for me. Truthfully although, nearly each a part of this upcoming life sim has caught my eye: the animal transformations, the Japanese rural fantasy setting, and ranching capybaras too.
Farmlife sim followers know the drill, in any other case. Tales of Seikyu begins once you purchase a small property within the countryside the place you will farm varied crops all through the seasons, look after animals, embellish your property, craft and promote the byproducts of your farm, and befriend or marry villagers.
And people villagers look incredible. The developer ACE Leisure says that Seikyu island has greater than 40 residents, amongst them a wild forged of people, chicken folks, anthropomorphic otters, and naturally cat folks too. It is the gorgeous chicken woman that shocked me although. How is that this solar hat-wearing, florally adorned chicken girl so beautiful? Marriage candidates apart, there are different unlikely townies like cranes and kappas with a stunning aesthetic that it is onerous to not name Studio Ghibli-inspired.
I need to gush about having such a big selection of crops that features yams and bok choy or my excessive curiosity in having a capybara farm, however there’s much more than that on Tales of Seikyu’s listing of plans. The yokai shapeshifting system helps you to flip right into a chicken to fly around the globe or hop into the water as a slime creature catching fish with its vacuum mouth, or a boar that tills soil on the farm. There’s an motion fight system for sword preventing towards some larger yokai monsters that I believe goes to attract just a few Breath of the Wild comparisons. The system for putting new barns, fences, and different decor seems to be fairly permissive as effectively.
Tales of Seikyu caught my eye with its Kickstarter marketing campaign initially, which I am completely happy to report it has now smashed. The life sim has been funded effectively previous its asking quantity and dedicated to stretch targets like a second protagonist selection, a pet retailer, and 5 new yokai. Although it did simply wrap the crowdfunding marketing campaign, Tales of Seikyu seems to be decently effectively alongside and has plans to launch someday in 2024. You possibly can wishlist it on Steam till then.
