Japan don't do agriculture... But if they did... It would still be bananas!
1 of 1 found this helpful I was a complete newcomer to this series before this game and so far I am pleasantly surprised. The game is hard to describe without alluding to other games from the Harvest Moon franchise, so I guess the closest comparison I can think of would be Farmville, crossed with Little King's Story, all wrapped up in the cutest dating simulator you ever did see. On a Tamagotchi. In Japan. Especially in Japan.
A word of caution on this game regarding this game's art style - You will have been warned by almost every review of it's "cutesy anime styling" and "esoteric gameplay". These reviews are not wrong. This game is Japanese as BALLS. In a way this is a shame as it will instantly appeal to the cosplay crowd without being appreciated for the strong game it actually is whilst being shunned by most other people for, well, appealing to the cosplay crowd.
The game gets repetetive quickly (tend the farm, talk to peeps, complete some fetch quests, sleep, repeat) but the mechanics are solid, every single action in the game leads to a level up or reward of some kind and there is this fundamental WoW-esque compulsion for just one more go... It's hard to put into words but if grinding's your gig your are sublimely catered for here.
Generic but beautiful art design, compelling if repetetive gameplay, super relaxing, strangely rewarding and sweet enough to induce diabetes. All in all, not a bad little game. 4 stars.
Happy gaming,
