A new game is set to launch on Steam this year that mixes Rimworld and Skyrim. Currently, you can play the demo on the platform.
What game is this about? Mirthwood is a game that throws you into your new life in a fantasy world. It will be the first game from the indie studio Bad Ridge Games.
The life simulation is set to be released in the third quarter of 2024 on Steam. However, you can already play the demo there and get your first impression of this mix.
From what we know, Mirthwood sounds like a mix between Stardew Valley or Rimworld and fantasy RPGs like Skyrim and Fable.
What does the trailer show? The latest trailer focuses on the relaxed life waiting for you on your own farm and less on aspects inspired by fantasy RPGs. If you want to know more, you can check out the report from our colleagues at GameStar.
You will see the various options you have in this part of the game. You can design your farm in Mirthwood according to your ideas and needs. This is not only about how you want to run your farm. Especially players who enjoy being creative will find plenty to do here.
As the trailer shows, you are not bound by any grids when designing. You can freely place buildings or build paths and fences. As examples, you will see circular formations and winding paths here.
Whether you become a farmer or a breeder is up to you
The trailer also shows you the options you have to run your farm. Whether you focus on growing crops or raising animals is up to you. You can also become an industrial farmer and produce a lot of things on your farm.
With your resources, you can also craft armor and weapons that you can presumably use on your adventures. Because, as this trailer suggests, there are also some dangers waiting for you in Mirthwood. In a few short scenes, you will see dark areas with creepy creatures.
In these areas, the aspects of a fantasy RPG are probably waiting for you. Another game on Steam also mixes two popular games and is set to be released in 2024: A new survival game is a mix of Valheim and Helldivers 2 – and you can play it for free.
