Wild West Harvest Sim Unveiled

Cattle Country, a soon-to-be-released Steam game currently available for wishlisting, promises a captivating experience for fans of Stardew Valley's farming and life sim gameplay. Mirroring Stardew Valley's lucrative farming mechanics, Cattle Country offers a similar economic structure, but with a Wild West twist.

Castle Pixel, an independent developer active since 2014 (known for titles like Rex Rocket and Blossom Tales 2: The Minotaur Prince), ventures into the farming sim genre for the first time with Cattle Country. Steam's official description labels it a "Cozy Cowboy Adventure Life Sim," blending familiar farming elements with a unique setting. Players can expect to build a mountain home, contribute to town development, and forge friendships with villagers—all hallmarks of the cozy life simulator genre.

Cattle Country's Distinctive Western Flair

The game's key differentiator is its Old West setting, showcased in its reveal trailer. Scenes depict nighttime cattle herding around a campfire, horse-drawn wagon journeys, and even action-packed sequences such as a saloon shootout and a bare-knuckle brawl. Mining, presented in a 2D Terraria-style format, adds another layer to the gameplay.

While retaining core farming sim elements like planting, harvesting, scarecrow placement, and tree felling, Cattle Country introduces original festival events. Expect festive celebrations inspired by Christmas, complete with Santa Claus, and traditional square dances. While a release date remains unannounced, Cattle Country is available for wishlisting on Steam.
