A popular new Stardew Valley mod adds an expansive new roguelike mode to the life game. The mod, aptly titled the Stardew Valley Roguelike mod, introduces a more robust combat element to the valley, or more specifically, to the newly expanded mine and monstrous new enemies that await you beneath the earth.
The gigantic bees and other beasties.
A few caveats come along with the Stardew Valley Roguelike mod, though, namely that the creator, Tyler and the Haboo, recommends against using other mods. So, no Stardew Valley Expanded, dating mods, or any of the valley's naughty mods either unless you want the mine to crash.
The mod is still under construction as well, with Tyler and the Haboo working on additional features and taking suggestions from players to make it even better. One popular suggestion is letting players save loadouts so they don't have to start the character creation process all over again every time they begin a new run.
Expect plenty more changes in the coming days, as the mod is still early in its life. It launched on September 11, and since then, 40,000 people have checked it out, and 5,000 ed it. That's an impressive number in general, but even more so after barely a week of life.
