Turn-based Combat

[Brother]

I've loved my time so far in stardew. Just wondering if anyone else is wishing for a mod that overhauls combat - and replaces it with turn-based, jrpg style with random encounters in high grass and in the mine. That would make this perfect imo.

[Saint Landwalker]

Random Encounters would be the absolute worst, no doubt about it.

If you're going to introduce JRPG-style combat (which won't happen, but if you did), I'd much rather see encounters triggered by running into actual enemies, the way it was done in Super Mario RPG (and probably other games, but that's the one that springs to mind first).

This. I enjoy classic RPGs and JRPGs, but Stardew Valley is just fine focusing on a farming game, we don't need any official overhauling of the system as it is today. If someone wants to mod that in? More power to them, but I wouldn't download it.

get your weeaboo crap outta here

So people are saying please dont mod a feature into this game? Its not like hes asking the Dev to add that feature.

[ErickaUnlimited]

If it is just a mod, sure, why not. That way it is optional if people want to see it added or not. As far as officially, no. The combat is fine as it stands now. It just needs a little dressing up.

That's what I was thinking. :>

[nickwithtea]

the only thing I'd like to see added to combat is enemies that can evade, cause basically all you do with any enemy is push them to a wall and spam melee and they can't even respond

I love turn based combat but that would be an awful choice for this game... if anything I would expand on the combat as it is sindce i prefer it over turn based... make it more in depth like terranigma or secret of mana...

I honestly can't think of a worse idea for the combat, congratulations.

If you want to see combat done right for this kind of game, take a look at Rune Factory.

I like the current combat system, as quirky as it is.
You're not some sword slashing warrior that can vanquish everything with skill.
You're just some normal guy (or gal) who's swinging around a clunky sword as awkardly as it probably would be.

If anything I would like to see magic added so we could use it for combat or for farming purposes. Which would use energy as a mana bar along with its purpose now. After that, I would increase the equipable armor you can wear to: Headgear, shoulder, gloves, Pants, boots, Rings, and 1 pendant. Then I would increase the difficulty and amount of mobs so that way we can balance out the new power players have. But the combat as it is, it's just fine. One thing that would be cool would be the idea to have a companion come into the combat zones with you. Like your spouse, giving them a better use, or your children (once they are older). Then we could equip them for combat as well. To me this idea would give us more combat options.

A lot of people are saying that the combat is not the main focus of the game, you're right. However, I would have to say giving the player a choice to either become a farmer, fisher, miner, or adventurer (combat based), would give the game something that no other farming game has. The ultimate freedom to do whatever you want. Fishing and Farming are the best features so far. Although I love fighting in this game I really wish more would be added to the game.

There's an infinite number of better, and more worthwile things a modder could make than that
Can't you just wait for the annual final fantasy release this year ot something?

I feel it would really ruin the mine doing that and the pace of the game. I would hate being in the mine and ending up in battle screens all the time you would have such a hard time gain levels in the mine. Combat imo is a very small part of the game. You would be better of playing classic final fantasy or phantasy star those are games where that combat style really shines or Earthbound.

[WarWise]

I would like some combat mods, but to enhance what is already there, not a new whole system. Maybe a new dungeon with more equipment, harder enemies and somewhat random loot would make some people happy, and those that wanted to play it could buy or download it.
