Demo
A demo for Fields of Aaru demo remains available on Steam. Of the interesting changes made by the studio is that the demo can now be played in Japanese, Simplified Chinese, French, German, Spanish (Spain) and Brazilian Portuguese. Of course, English is still there.
That's not all since there are a lot of improvements that players can enjoy. One of these is that they now have the ability to dig into the terrain around their farm and then carve channels that then carry the Nile's water to their fields. As a result it can turn dry sand to green. Visuals have also been updated and there's now fuller foliage, water reflections, richer lighting, and softer shadows. For instance, the Nile now ripples and splashes as players wade with animals even leaving footprints in the sand.
The update also adds autosaves, better controller navigation and new accessibility options.
Fields of Aaru has players live out a second life along the Nile. They get to build a home on the river and help the village by fixing things that have fallen into disrepair. Players get to spend their days farming, fishing, and working the riverbanks where wildlife gathers. Then once everything is ready, it's time to head out into the desert to discover ancient ruins, tombs, and hidden secrets.
To bring life back into the village, players can help the people of Aaru through quests that should fix what needs to be done. Along the way they learn various ancient crafts that include shaping stone, firing clay, and irrigating the fields.
Once players cross the sands and step beyond the reach of the Nile, it is then that they discover hidden oases, ruins, and ancient tombs. It's important to carry water, while making sure to look for shade, when heading into the open desert. The different oases, ruins, and tombs let players uncover rare materials and lost knowledge that's been buried beneath the sand. Anything they bring back changes what they can craft and build back along the Nile.
