In this game you get to be a farmer, so basically you get to sit back and moan about the fact that you cannot move your livestock due to the latest bout of infections, game over all done, well not exactly but to be honest the actual game is about as satisfying to play. The storyline is a bit convoluted but basically you have to grow crops in order to bring the Harvest Goddess back from a different dimension. Basically you have a farm on which you must grow crops, as you accumulate gold from selling the crops you can expand your operation and build ne w farm buildings you can even use the money to get yourself a wife which could take the form of a mermaid if ...  Read the complete review

A game based on farming simulation? Sounds pretty dull until you really think about it, growing crops to sell, tending animals, meeting villagers, acquiring items. If you don't like strategy games then you'll want to avoid the harvest moon franchise.

She then accidentally sends creatures known as Harvest Sprites to ...  Read the complete review

Having enjoyed a few games from the Harvest Moon series, seeing this one advertised made me grab it quick. The basics of the game are simple; you own a farm, you grow crops, raise livestock, make money, get married, have kids, voila. Boring? Could depend on your own take, but mine is far from boring on this game or the others I have played in the series. With the sideline and big chunk to the storyline being that a Witch Princess has banished the Harvest Goddess, as well as 101 Harvest Sprites to another world, your job is to figure out how to bring each one back to save the Goddess. Some are easy enough to bring back whilst others are more difficult. Even getting ...  Read the complete review
