I bought this because I love the Harvest Moon game to the SNES. This is much better though, it has everything and I'm totally stuck at the moment. I have been playing this every evening and night since I bought it 2 weeks ago and 1 year has passed in the game and everything is just very fascinating and beautiful. Wow! Can't stop playing.
Best farming game I've ever played.
I get the feeling that unlike other similar games there's a ton of late game content to keep you busy.
If you liked other farming games you'll love this.
Originally pirated but deemed it good enough to pay full price for.
I've never understood the whole Harvest Moon thing. But I gave a shot to this game... I was hooked from the first minutes. It's adorable. It's lovely. It's pleasant. And I promise, there was a moment when I felt moved. The story and characters are superb - a little stereotypical and childlish - but so well done. The gameplay is varied - you can manage your farm, plant different things and craft different things, you can fight your way through the mines and other places and earn some loot and minerals, you can fish, explore or just goof around. The beautiful side of this game that there's never any hurry - of course, if you want to progress fast you need to maintain effectivness in your daily schedule - but if you want to take it easy - you can. There's really a lot of events and different things you can do, it can give really a great ammonut of hours of gameplay. One of the best buys on GOG.
My wife, kids, and I are all addicted to this game right now. Its similar to Harvest Moon/Animal Crossing but better. If you're looking for a game you can jump on for a quick time waster, this game can be it. If you want to spend hours playing, you can do that as well.
Definetly worth full price and a must buy when on sale. Just buy it.
If you love the SNES esthetic, and games like Animal Crossing, this is totally for you. Combat isn't amazing, and sometimes it can be a little bit of a grind, but this is one of my favourite games to come out last year.
