here where Haunted chocolate about Stardew Valley in important ways. There is a much greater focus on Action RPG features, and this includes the combat, which has an overhaul. There will be a variety of weapons and armor, a complete blocking system, a bolt-on system for successfully fending off enemies, and more. This should make foraging and exploration an interesting part of the game for those who want a little more action in their chocolate-making plans.
Surprisingly, the game’s combat may take some inspiration from Diablo II.
“When I was in the early stages of Haunted Chocolatier, I was playing a bunch of Diablo II. Getting loot and seeing your numbers go up on stats? I feel like a lot of Stardew Valley players aren’t, but I have to do what I think is fun. And I think that’s going to really shine in the game, if you’re excited about it.”
