Super Farming Boy [Early Access] Review – Cozy Chaos on the Farm

We at thedailygamepad.net want to thank the developer for generously providing us with a review key, which also allowed us to showcase the game on stream. Early Access or not, Super Farming Boy has planted something special, and we can’t wait to see how it grows.

At first glance, Super Farming Boy looks like your average cozy farming sim—plant crops, water them, harvest, maybe shoo a crow or two away. But make no mistake: this isn’t just Stardew Valley with a fresh coat of paint. This is farming with superpowers, chain reactions, and a hilariously over-the-top corporate nemesis who wants to tax your farm into oblivion. Yeah, you read that right—corporate farming taxes. Welcome to the weirdly wonderful world of Super Farming Boy.

Released into Early Access on August 12th, and available on Steam for $12.99 (currently $11.69 until August 28th), Super Farming Boy puts you in the boots of a kid trying to save his mom, his friends, and, of course, his crops. Your enemy? Korpo—head of All Green Farm, Inc.—who decides to slap a 100% tax on your farm and take it over. Forget worrying about weeds; you’re up against capitalism itself.

The core of Super Farming Boy isn’t just planting and harvesting—it’s planting strategically. Crops have their own powers, and when you line them up just right, you can trigger chain reactions that clear weeds, smash rocks, and even deal with bigger obstacles in puzzle-like fashion. It’s equal parts farming and combo-chasing, which makes every harvest feel more like pulling off a sick combo in Street Fighter than just casually watering turnips.

Farming takes energy, both in real life and in Super Farming Boy. Here, you’ll manage stamina by buying snacks from a conveniently parked food truck. It’s a fun mechanic that adds a little survival twist—you can’t work the fields on an empty stomach, after all. Along the way, you’ll earn currency to upgrade your tools (hoes, hammers, pickaxes), which makes farming smoother and helps unlock new areas. It’s progression that feels rewarding without being grindy.

The art style is bright and cheerful, the music is relaxing, and the atmosphere leans hard into cozy gaming territory. But the narrative twist of a corporate overlord trying to ruin your life gives the game an edge. It’s satire wrapped in sunflowers, a tongue-in-cheek reminder that even in cozy worlds, capitalism comes for the little guy.

Like many Early Access titles, Super Farming Boy is still growing. Features will evolve, visuals may shift, and mechanics might tighten up with feedback. What’s already here, though, is promising—an enjoyable balance of strategy, farming, and exploration wrapped in a relaxing (but surprisingly snarky) package. If you enjoy cozy farming sims but want something a little quirkier and more strategic, this game deserves a spot on your wishlist.

Super Farming Boy is proof that farming games don’t have to play it safe. With its chain-reaction farming mechanics, goofy-but-relevant corporate satire, and cozy-yet-challenging loop, it stands out in a crowded genre. Whether you’re here to vibe with the relaxing atmosphere or to take down the evil Korpo one combo at a time, there’s plenty to dig into.
