Deiland is an adventure game developed by Chibig and funded through a Kickstarter campaign. Thanks to the acquired funds, the developers were able to publish the game.
The game tells a story of a boy named Arco. He is the youngest among children who once were sent to the smallest planet in the galaxy. Their objective is to awake the magic of crystal hidden inside these small globes. The main protagonist wound up on the titular planet of Deiland, which is so small that it resembles the planet known from the Little Prince novel.
Deiland is a game that combines features of different genres. In general, this is an adventure game, however, there are multiple RPG and survival mechanics. There are around one hundred quests to complete, however, that is not all that players can do. The main protagonist has to take care of himself – Arco needs food and rest. The first need can be satisfied by farming. The boy seeds different plants, tends to crops, and harvests them; he can also fish. Each activity requires the player to obtain proper tools that can be created via the crafting system with the found resources and blueprints – together, there are over fifty of those. They allow players to create items necessary for work as well as cooking dishes and drinks with unique properties.
Moreover, Arco needs a shelter. In Deiland, there are twelve types of buildings and four levels of a house. Apart from surviving, players also have to repel enemy raids. They can be beaten with weapons and magic spells. The game features also a simple character development system. The main protagonist earns experience necessary to increase his strength, intelligence, agility, and stamina – all of which prove useful when fighting increasingly powerful opponents.
Deiland features decent visuals with cartoonish style and lively colors. Players are also bound to appreciate the day and night cycle and changing weather conditions.

NEOsite: 4 / 10 by Daniel Stroński
Harvest Moon on a much smaller scale and with plenty of bugs. It is relaxing, but only until you encounter one of more serious technical problems.
PS3Blog.net: 85 / 100
Deiland is a must-have indie release on PlayStation 4. It's colorful, charming and relaxing, with plenty of things to do in this sandbox-style release. The game is fun, the graphics are polished and the music perfectly fits the overall experience. Arco and the game will probably remind you of The Little Prince, which definitely influenced the development team, so if you're a fan of it then this one will definitely charm its way into your collection.

Deiland is worth it. If you like relaxing experiences, do it. If you like moving around a farm and growing crops without worry for much else, this has you covered. If you like things closer to Rune Factory or Popolocrois, this may not quite be for you but I would suggest taking a look anyways as while the combat and the RPG may not be on the same levels, it’s fun. So with anywhere between ten to twenty hours of relaxation? This little planet is more than worth your time!
