So, ahead of GameCube’s remake of the popular game, Story of Seasons: A Wonderful Life, we asked you guys to rank all the Harvest Moon / Story of Seasons games. It contains a number of spin-off works with the names Harvest Moon/Story of Seasons, and only games released on Nintendo systems with an English release.

Turn your farming sim into a fun and relaxing puzzle game can But in Harvest Moon Mad Dash, Natsume apparently forgot the fun part. The color matching game is painfully easy, and the fact that you gain resources while avoiding lava and other dangerous obstacles means this is only good for some herbicides.

Harvest Moon: Frantic Farming is one of the better puzzle games in the Harvest Moon series, but it still lacks charm and innovation that makes it fall short of the rest. It’s also very short, so once you’ve played through all the puzzles the game has to offer, that’s it. Natsume has the potential to create a great Harvest Moon puzzle game, but he’s still far from it with Frantic Farming.

If there’s one common theme among the less-loved Harvest Moon games, it’s that they all go in completely different directions. Puzzle de Harvest Moon is an interesting mix of puzzle game, strategy and farming simulation, but it misses the point completely. The tutorial is tricky from the start, and unless you have friends, you’ll have to deal with a formidable AI rival. This is one of his crops that doesn’t live up to the standards of other franchises.

If you’re looking for the next Stardew Valley, Harvest Moon: One World doesn’t even come close. The game isn’t a copycat of its predecessor, and feels more like a hastily released on mobile than a full-fledged Switch game.These games have always been about household chores, but this game feel Like it’s too much trouble to play. In our opinion, you’re better off spending your money on something that respects you as a fan of the genre, and there are plenty of other games in the series that do just that.

Despite being inspired by the original Harvest Moon, Light of Hope falls short of its name. Rather than standing as a beacon of light for the genre, it pales in comparison to Stardew: His Valley, which released on Switch just the year before this game came out. Among the Harvest Moon/Story of Seasons series, this is a step backwards, simplifying a lot of mechanics and removing a lot of charm in the process. I should be able to do better now.

The Lost Valley aims to reboot the series and reintroduce it to a younger generation. With new features like fulfilling villagers’ wishes and the ability to change terrain, The Lost Valley sets its sights high, but it misses the mark completely. Most of the new features, while great on paper, are poorly implemented and negatively impact a game that should have been this great. It’s a bold move for Natsume to develop a game that deviates from the series’ conventions and tries new things, but the overall experience has the sophistication and charm that Harvest’s Moon name has come to represent. Missing.

When Harvest Moon: Skytree Village opens, it shows some promise. However, the clumsy tutorial and lack of hands-on interaction fall short of that lofty goal. thing things to do in the village The tile-based editing makes the task a lot easier, but the Skytree Village field is empty and in-game time he is a short campaign that can be completed in less than a year, so further post-game expectations remain. increase. This entry is a step in the right direction for Nastume’s take on the genre, but it’s still far from the pinnacle.

WiiWare’s Harvest Moon: My Little Shop was very good. Unfortunately, it brought home the boredom of working in the restaurant industry. The charming looks and interesting time system couldn’t save a shallow experience that felt more like work than play.

Island of Happiness is a decent entry in this long-running series, but you can definitely feel the absence of Harvest Moon author Yasuhiro Wada. The fun idea of moving events to an island really helps us fall in love with the world and the farm. But if there’s one big stumbling block, it’s the controls. Without control, you’re spoiling the fun that comes from the daily routine of populating this new island and building a thriving farm. Sadly, the touchscreen controls prevent this and are very difficult to get back into.

Adding regular button controls to the touchscreen-only commands of its predecessor helped bring Sunshine Islands to the next level, but even with the idea of growing neat islands to expand the game world, the It felt a little ambitious. You’ll make very few mistakes, the controls are great, and he’ll tease you with new items and areas that will make you want to play for just one day. He’s one of the strongest titles in the DS series, but don’t expect too much. change farming methods.

Doraemon Four Seasons Story A captivating and relaxing adventure through a world far simpler than ours. Gorgeous visuals and a never-ending list of things to do make it almost impossible to get bored while playing. Some may find its slow pace offensive, but playing a game where the fate of the world isn’t at stake is very welcome. Instead, you can just sit back and decide which plants you want to grow next year.

Doraemon Story Season: Friends of the Great Kingdom doesn’t have much to distinguish itself from the first game, but farming fun that manages to establish its own identity compared to other creatures. It is undeniable that it is a healthy bunch of farming sim. Aside from the lengthy cutscenes, it doesn’t feel too repetitive. It’s a problem faced by quite a few farming sims thanks to the crop-based tasks associated with this genre. And aside from map navigation issues, both still feel relatively fresh to those new to the genre and very familiar with the Story of Seasons franchise. If you went into this game expecting a decent Doraemon farming sim, you won’t be disappointed.
