Why The is this game worth 60 bucks.... its like they grabbed a bunch of spare resources and said here we go a game. the story line was like a toddler wrote it... im not normally so critical on games but this was square entix..... and 60 dollars... did i mention this game is 60 dollars off sale... Things you should know there is no customization at all they give you 2 choices doesnt matter the gender you choose and then you pick your color and there is only 2 voices. I was looking forward to this game to... i played a bit of the fighting and farming it didnt seem to bad but the fact that there are only a handful of named npcs and the rest are old man middle age man young man boy and vice versa shows the depth this game really is... Anyways if you like it because you can seperate the storyline from the gameplay good for you....

Então se vc ja jogou Rune Factory não espere o mesmo nesse jogo. Ele é muito bom, mas incompleto perto de outros. Dois pontos muito negativos são o tempo que passa rápido demais e a customização do teu personagem que é basicamente zero. Você nem sabe se está jogando com menino ou menina. Mas por outro lado, o enredo é muito cativante e a gameplay das dungeons, o grind e a trilha sonora são EXCELENTES.

Got this game on sale and still paid too much. This games asking price is 60 dollars! What a f**king joke. It's not worth 15. You have to be back home everyday by midnight or you pass out. The people who made this game were passed out. It's crashed numerous times and I don't know what the auto-save is set at, but it doesn't happen too often because when it crashes I lose 15 to 20 minutes of what I just did and have to do it all over again. This is a square enix POS.

It's Rune Factory lite with Final Fantasy aesthetics. IDK why they have so many quests involving kids but it's getting old.

Finishing the game in 2026, this game is beyond it’s development time in 2022, Square Enix is genius to see how AI is as on the come up as we speak, I won't be spoiling the story but this game is beyond mix reviews, only a feeble mind would think this game is mid, it’s only as mid as their test scores in school, this game is cryptic to what is life becoming in a sense 10/10 for a 2022 game that had little knowledge for AI that we are evolving in 2026

This is a very pretty farm game with very lovely music, but at the price of having little to no methods of mitigating damage (there's a dash but I don't think it gives i-frames). Hooray for attrition warfare!

back at the start i might have said if you already played all the rune factory games and this thing was on sale and you really needed one of these then yes pick it up

i no longer feel this way after finishing the game

the story was okay in a this is a very dumb ff story kind of way and even had a couple good moments
the amount of time it took just to see that was not okay or good

the individuals directly responsible for the combat and stamina systems should reflect upon their ancestors for what to do after bringing such great shame and dishonor upon their family

저는 정말 재미있게 했는데... 남한테는 추천 못하겠어요. 이 가격대에 더 좋은 게임도 많은데...ㅠ
50%이상 세일 시: 이런 게임 좋아하면 사볼 만은 할 듯. 초반보다는 후반이 재밌습니다.

스토리: 소재는 흥미로웠는데 스토리 구성이나 대사 같은 게 그닥... 깊이 생각하고 썼다는 느낌이 아니예요. 특히 서브 퀘스트. 여러 캐릭터에게 자주 같은 대사를 해서 주인공 지금 진심이야?싶고... 게임하면서 오글거리는 대사같은 건 필연적으로 나오지만, 그래픽 때문인지 스토리 때문인지 몰입이 잘 안되어서 더 거북하기 느껴진 것 같습니다... 조연들에 대한 스토리를 메인퀘랑 분리해서 다뤄준 것은 좋았습니다.

농사: 돈을 벌려면 작물을 키워서 팔아야 하는데 단가가 빡빡하고, 요리(도핑/포션)에 소모되는 양이 만만치 않아서 스토리에 집중하려면 요리 재료로만 써도 벅찼어요. 이것저것 동시에 하는 걸 안 좋아하는 저로서는 좀 힘들었고, 사실상 엔딩 이후에나 즐길 수 있었어요. (엔딩 이후) 터주작 농사작 하면서 돌아다니는 건 나름 재밌네요... 컬렉팅하는거 좋아하기도 하고... 스토리 끝나니까 급격히 텐션이 스듀같아짐.

그래픽: 2D 일러스트는 준수합니다. 솔직히 3D만 보면 이 가격대 게임이라고 볼 수 없을만한 퀄리티예요. 기본적인 조형이 구리다 이런건 차치하고 메인캐릭터를 포함해서 파츠 돌려쓰기가 눈에 거슬릴정도로 심하고, 모션이나 물리엔진이 별롭니다... 그래서인지 사양은 그렇게 안먹네요ㅋㅋㅠ 3070ti 사용 중이라서 4k 풀옵으로 돌리긴 했는데 기재된 사양만 보면 잘 하면 노트북으로도 돌아갈 듯.

보이스: 보이스를 차라리 스토리 중요 컷씬에 넣어줬으면 훨씬 플레이 경험이 훨씬 좋았을텐데... 기합이나 필살기같은곳에만 잠깐잠깐 나옵니다. 자막도 안 넣어줘서 청해 안되면 뭔 내용인지도 모를듯ㅋㅋㅋ 성우는 잘 뽑아놓고 왜 그랬는지 이해할 수 없음. 제작비가 많이 모자랐나 싶고? 아니 근데 이 개발사에서 이 가격에 내놓을만한 게임 퀄리티가 아닌데?? 모르겠음...

BGM: 전 사실 이 게임을 BGM으로 접했었어요. 신경 쓴 티는 남. 그러나 돌아다니는 맵이 한정적이라 좋은 노래도 계속 듣다보니 질려요. 보스전에 나오는 웅장한 브금 좋아하는데 자주 못들어서 좀 아쉬움. 많은 게임이 그렇듯 노래는 좋아요ㅋㅋ 집에 주크박스 같은거 있음 좋았을지도?

전투: 기본적으로 모든 컨텐츠가 쉽게 나왔어요. 재미없진 않다? 난이도 높은 편은 아니나 다 피하면서 할 수 있는 게임은 아니라서 도핑이 필수예요. 직업 시스템은 나름 봐줄만함. 스킬 이펙트나 모션도 각각 개성있고 속성-브레이크 시스템도 나쁘지 않아요. 고도의 피지컬 또는 고도의 뇌지컬 컨텐츠를 별로 안좋아하는 사람이라 딱 괜찮은 난이도로 느꼈어요. 성향 반대되는 분들은 좀 지루하실 수도 있을듯?

etc: 한글판으로 했는데... 오타도 있습니다...ㅋㅋㅋ 그 외에도 디테일이 많이 모자라요. 리뷰 중에 만들다 만 것 같다는 말이 정말 와닿았습니다...

요약하면 만들다 만 느낌.
이거 개발사가 스퀘어에닉스라고?? 인디게임같음. 전 50%세일할때 샀던 거 같은데... 그래도 그정도 값은 즐긴 듯.
그래픽이랑 보이스 고치고 스토리 조금만 다듬었어도 훨씬 나았을 텐데 너무 아쉬움. 초반은 정말 별로였는데 여태 BGM 잘 들은 값이라 치고 그냥 참고 했는데... 후반이 좀 더 재밌긴 했어요. 정가 주고 다시 사도 좋으니까 리메이크 좀 내줬으면.!! 먹다보면 먹을 만은 한 게임이에요.
스토리 후반~엔딩 이후 컨텐츠가 보다 취향
켜놓고 딴짓하고 그랬는데 총 친밀도 3칸남기고 섭퀘는 두어개?남은 것 같은데 66시간쯤 엔딩봤으니 아마 엔딩까지 플탐은 50시간 내외로 나오지 않을까 싶네요. 엔딩 이후에 컬렉팅 요소가 좀 있어서 가격만큼은 충분히 즐길 것 같아요. 나름 힐링겜?

추천할지 비추할지 좀 고민했는데 환불 리뷰 급으로 비추...는 아닌거같아서 그냥 추천 누름 약간 애증의게임

二周目了，多年前首发入的ns版，在那个se大暴雷时期出来的垫子也是蛮可惜的，肉眼可见的经费贫瘠，有限的钱都铺在景和玩法内容上了，基本没有配音，游戏细节设定内容明显也很青涩作为处女作也算挺不错了，剧情和个人coop都很强，内容量庞大，光种田方面的成长反馈就很足，人设弧光都挺强的，玩下来每个人我都能记住名字，被严重低估的游戏。但不足也很多，战斗体验有点差，也就带俩肉自己在后面放冷枪还凑合，后期怪伤害都很高队友扛不住，就只能杀一个拉怪再等等复活在干了。然后就是时间太紧了，过的太快导致白天感觉也做不了什么事就黑天了，迷宫就这么大因为时间问题就只能断断续续的探索，节奏感很差。还有就是体力系统太抽象，干点啥都得耗体力，后期吃得多能弥补弥补，开荒期那是真的难受。基本就这样了，建议配个修改器玩玩体验是最好的，史低入手通关还是觉得很值的

I finished the game and defeated the post game boss [spoiler] Selene [/spoiler] in an epic [strike] battle [/strike] picnic. The main dishes being grape juice, apple juice, and orange juice...

Jokes aside, this game is truly hard carried by the art. The graphics are really beautiful.
However, like most reviews, the core game loop of combat, farming, and story are all kinda mid.
The story feels especially rushed and there are too many points where immersion breaks or the writing is terribly awkward. It happens enough times to feel like the game was rushed out.

The majority of fighting enemies is standing in front of each other and trading hits. The only fun combat after 10 hours of playing mutual slap combat is when fighting bosses, because there are actually times you can dodge. You can't dodge most normal mobs's attacks. Combat feels extremely stiff and limited.

Get this game on sale. There's no way this game deserves full price at $60.00.

I wouldn't recommend this game. It's barely a 7/10 game. It's clear there was some love for the game, but unfortunately, I can't recommend what feels like a rushed game.

I gave Harvestella a shot because I’m a sucker for farm-sim hybrids, but this feels like a half-baked product. The combat isn't just bad it's legitimately horrible, it's slow, floaty, and boring as hell. The farming mechanics also feel half-assed, like they were stapled on because "farm sim RPG" was trending back then, it feels soulless as ♥♥♥♥.

The story sounds cool on paper, but the delivery is awkward. The pacing seems weird, and the main character’s sidekick is basically the final boss of vagueposting, you know exactly when she’s gonna drop some half-baked mystery ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥. With that said, the side quests are shockingly good. Some of them are better written and more emotionally grounded than the main plot.

I wouldn’t outright tell people to avoid it, but I can’t confidently recommend it either. If there were a "neutral" rating, that’s what this gets from me.

So this is going to sound weird, I've never gone into a blind rage while attempting to play a what I thought was going to be a relaxing farming game. The game starts with a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ 20 min+ unskippable cutscene and I only say 20min+ because that's as long as I lasted before Alt+F4ing... IT COULD BE LONGER. I've never felt so disrespected by a game. The game essentially showed up to our date to the local botanical garden and ranted about their job for 20 mins and then spit in my mouth (a little spit play could be fine but don't start off with it.) The real issue is this game was gifted to me by a dear friend, my oldest friend, I consider this man my brother. I couldn't let it stand, this supermarket, poorly translated romance novel someone left by the gum at the checkout counter wasn't gonna steal from my best friend. So I did what any of us would do, I set out to refund a gift, not to my benefit but to liberate the hard earned dollars of a brother. I got though all the steam help sections for the refund AND now the last step is to explain to my friend that I'd rather have an awkward conversation than let this development team get $60 they DO NOT DESERVE. The game looks old, like Crystal Chronicles from mid-2000's old.... so it's even worse. It's like the year 2004 is trying to steal some of today's money.
so yeah maybe just go play stardew valley again, or try ff14.

I love this game. Just not for the action-combat.
The combat is very shallow, but it doesn't overstay its welcome too bad...
The farming, as someone who hasn't played and doesn't want to play a farm-sim, I found it to be pretty engaging. You spend a little time each game day on it, but usually not to the point where you can't also dip your toes into a dungeon.
Where the game really shines though is in the design. The world-design and graphics re precious. The off-brand Elemental Crystals are beautifully expressed and well connected to the plot and lore. The character design is lovely. Each of your allies is multi-faceted and their stories are interesting. And the character portraits have a melancholy to them that speaks to my soul. Finally the Final Fantasy Plot, when it hits, is Absolute Cinema.
Shame about the combat though.

This is basically an old school Final Fantasy game (except action combat) with a light farming minigame attached.

There are social links to progress but they are all handled though narrative quests, not grinding repeatable activities.

The writing is pretty strong - a lot of crazy stuff happens in the main story but the sidequests are much more grounded and deal with identity, family, etc.

Combat is ok-ish with everything being a bit loose but it gets the job done.

Overall the game is great and I would like to hang out for about 20 minutes with whatever PR person put 'life-simulation' in the description. You must be the coolest person ever and have constant excitement to come up with that.

If I had to use one word to describe Harvestella, it would be generic; it's not a poorly made game, but feels like it was made to be safe, perhaps by a team of developers who are getting their feet wet.

You can marry the 70 year old mayor at the end, however.

꽤 오랫동안 플레이 했고 개인적으로 나름 재미있게 즐겼지만,
주변 사람들에겐 추천할 수 없는 게임이고,
혹여 누가 해본다고 해도 절대로 정가로는 구매하지 않았으면 하는 게임.

이 가격에 이런 퀄리티는 범죄다.
적정 가격대는 높게 잡아야 3만원대.

게임스타일은 스타듀벨리 류.
정확히 하자면 열화판 룬팩토리에 가깝다.

의도적으로 플레이 타임 늘리기 위해
퀘스트 동선을 꼬아 놓은 설계가 눈에 보임.

비록 그 과정이 여타 다른 대작 게임처럼
스토리가 매력적으로 잘 전달되었으면 좋았겠지만,
그렇지가 않음.

모든 퀘스트의 플레이 경험이
마치 양산형 mmorpg 게임의
서브 퀘스트와 비견 될 정도.

모든 퀘스트의 과정은 지루하며
그저 완수 후 있을 보상을 기다리는 것에 불과함.

So i've played through the main game and have reached post game. It's ok. It's def a game that I wish me had a mediocre rating for.
It did some very cool stuff with it's story but the fact that there's only an illusion of choice at literally every interaction kinda killed me. No matter what you do all plotlines have one outcome. Would have been better if they had just set it up to be a fleshed out character with their own opinions, especially considering the twist at the end.
Additionally dear god dose the farming need some qualli6ty of life work. I know it's not the main focus of the game but there are a number of things that nearly made me quite multiple times related to the farming mechanics.

[h1][b]🎮 Reseña de HARVESTELLA[/b][/h1]

[h2]Resumen del Juego[/h2]
HARVESTELLA es ese experimento donde te dicen “relájate cultivando” y, cinco minutos después, te sueltan en un JRPG con combates, exploración y una trama de fantasía que se toma a sí misma bastante en serio. Sí: aquí vienes a plantar zanahorias… pero terminas salvando el mundo con una espada, como cualquier adulto funcional.

La propuesta mezcla simulador de vida/agricultura con rol de acción: administras tu granjita, mejoras tu rutina, exploras zonas tipo mundo abierto/sandbox y te metes a mazmorras a repartir cariño en forma de golpes. La primera impresión es clara: Square Enix quiso que tu agenda sea: regar, cosechar, pelear, llorar por la historia, repetir.

En Steam se siente como un juego “de nicho con orgullo”: tiene logros (49), cromos, nube y soporte total de mando, perfecto para jugarlo tirado como si fueras productivo… mientras evitas tus responsabilidades reales.

[h2][La Cosecha Gloriosa vs. La Maleza Incomodísima][/h2]

Lo Bueno:
✅ 🌾 Mezcla atractiva de agricultura + rol de acción: cambias del azadón al combate sin pedir permiso.
✅ 🗺️ Exploración y vibra atmosférica de fantasía: dan ganas de perderse (a propósito).
✅ 🎮 Compatibilidad total con mando + Steam Cloud: cómodo y “agarra y juega” sin drama.
✅ 🏆 49 logros: combustible premium para completistas y para quienes necesitan validación digital.
✅ 📖 Buena trama (cuando decide arrancar): sorprende más de lo que el concepto “granjero elegido” sugiere.

Lo No Tan Bueno:
❌ 🧍 Un jugador únicamente: si querías granjear con amigos, aquí solo te acompaña tu monólogo interno.
❌ 🧩 Identidad medio bipolar (simulador vs. JRPG): a veces no sabe si quiere ser relajante o épico… y te lo cobra con ritmo irregular.
❌ 🌍 “Mundo abierto” en espíritu, no siempre en libertad: exploras, sí, pero con la correa narrativa bien puesta.
❌ 👥 Comunidad muy bajita en este momento (37 jugadores): no afecta el gameplay, pero el pueblo se siente más vacío… incluso fuera del juego.
❌ 🧾 1980 recomendaciones totales: suena sólido, pero no es precisamente el fenómeno que te venderían los trailers de anime.

[/table]

[h2]Conclusión (Muy Bueno)[/h2]
HARVESTELLA es el tipo de juego que te convence de que la agricultura es un camino espiritual… hasta que te manda a combatir como si fueras el protagonista del anime de temporada. Y lo peor (mejor) es que funciona: la exploración y la ambientación sostienen el viaje, y la historia pega más fuerte de lo que debería un título donde tu mayor arma también puede ser una regadera.

Eso sí, no es para quien busca “puro relax”: el ritmo y la identidad híbrida pueden sentirse raros, como si el juego te dijera “respira profundo” mientras te avienta un destino cósmico encima. Y aunque tenga 1980 recomendaciones totales, el hecho de ver 37 jugadores actuales le da un aire de “joya que muchos dejaron en el granero”.

En resumen: si te gustan los JRPG con chores, o los simuladores de vida con drama existencial, aquí hay material. Si quieres una sola cosa bien definida, este juego te va a contestar con dos cosas a la vez.

[h3]Recomendación de Compra (Recomendado con peros)[/h3]

Puntuación Total: 7.0/10
Número de jugadores activos al momento de hacer esta review: 37
Descuento máximo registrado: -60%
Veredicto: [i]Muy Bueno: gran mezcla para fans del rol japonés y la granja, pero no esperes perfección ni una comunidad enorme[/i]

Si te atrae la idea de cosechar de día y salvar el mundo de noche (o al revés, porque aquí no juzgamos), vale la pena. Solo entra con la expectativa correcta: es un híbrido con encanto y con costuras, no el mesías definitivo de los simuladores ni el JRPG más afilado del establo.

For 60 dollars game, this game is just lazy. Farming, not bad but boring for something that suppose to be an agriculture/farming game. Combat, ok but not that good either. It falls short comparing to all other FREE games I've played that involves both combat and farming. The surrounding map, boring and lack of personality and looks just like early 2000 jrpg map. Character customization, this is just stupid. The male character doesn't look even close to a male character (looks like female, im not even joking, not even androgynous, just a female). And what's up with the strange hip anatomy they got going on with every characters?? Story telling, awkward. I have some instances where I just felt like they have no idea how to effectively progress the story without it being awkward. For a PAID game, especially an EXPENSIVE one, I was expecting something more and not whatever this is. This is just a lazy game milking 60 dollars from poor players. I wish I have something good to say but this game gave me a very icky first impression once I entered the game., especially during the character customization and the opening scene. So tacky and lousy for a PAID game. Mind you, this game is released on 2022 and they still made the game looks like old harvest moon I played on PS2 back when I was a middle school student.

If you like Nier:Automata and Stardew/Farming sims, you'll like this game. It's got a decently good storyline, pretty art, and the special Square Enix brand of existential crises and JRPG-isms. Overall, I had fun. You level pretty quickly and I had the storyline beat by the end of year 1, so the rest is just farming and relaxing up until 100%. I wouldn't say it was my favorite of all time, but it's a good intro to the genre IMO.

My upvote is based mostly on the quality of the game itself, and not so much about the actual gameplay. It's well illustrated and has an intriguing plot, but that plot feels rushed. When game throw too many quests at you in short order, it causes a feeling of pressure to 'get to them'. Even though you don't actually have to rush, you can take whatever time you need, it still feels that way. One thing I really don't understand is the need to get back home every night. Even if you're in a city far away, you have to go sleep at home. If this were a scale rating from 1 (bad) to 10 (great) I'd give this a 7. I really think the overall gameplay could be rewritten to pace the quests out better.

Cozy Gamer Note: It's a fighting game with a bit of farming thrown in.

+Able swap confirm/cancel buttons as a simple option

-Mouse unfriendly
-Character select has male/female/non-binary
-Character customization just allows you to change a female model
-You can use a male voice for your female character

The world set up was too disappointing for me to continue the game. Its a girl game with a liberal paint job but marketed for everyone.

A jack of all trades is a master of none - that is the phrase that accurately sums up Harvestella. Now I thought the idea of an adventure game with RPG elements was a cool idea. After all - if games like Stardew Valley could incorporate battles against monsters and RPG elements, surely the kings of the RPG genre over at Square could have an interesting take on this idea, right?

Well, that's what I thought for the very early game, but it soon became clear that it's less than the sum of it's parts. Soon enough you get presented with frustrating maps, impossible to clear enemies blocking certain nessecary items, and grinding won't help you in this case as a hard cap on how powerful you can get is established VERY quickly and just sucks the fun out of the game.

Also, the writing is just awful. Like many Square games, it wants to have some sort of commentary on religion - which isn't inherently a bad thing. However, the game is overly preachy with it and I am less inclined to take their message about the evils of religion seriously when the game wants us to forgive a human-trafficking landlord who tried to sell one of our party members into slavery through some random one-off quest. Screw that!

I think it could have been interesting if growing better crops gave you battle experience, like for instance how the Legend of Nayuta allows you to cook items you gained from monsters and level up from consuming them. However, while the end result was not one of the worst games I've ever played, Harvestella completely squandered it's potential.

Initialement terminé sur switch, j'ai voulu passer sur PC pour profiter de meilleurs graphismes.
L'histoire de Harvestella paraît simpliste de prime abord, mais au fil de l'aventure, on découvre que les choses sont plus complexes. Les musiques sont agréables et rendent bien service à l'ambiance générale : mystérieuse et relaxante.
Les combats auraient mérités d'être un peu plus techniques pour offrir un réel intérêt.
Le jeu vaut le détour cependant, surtout si vous cherchez un jeu pour vous détendre.

This is one of my favorite games to come back to from time to time. It does have a bit of an identity crisis.

The farming part of it is kind of lack luster, but passable. It gives the game a slightly different layer, and mixes a little stardew valley with a lower end Final Fantasy, which is what I think they were aiming for. However, The day/night cycle needed for the farming mechanics makes the rest of the game a little difficult to enjoy. You just don't have the time to really run around and explore.

Speaking of exploring. I do like the way the game is set up on that front, when you can. Every environment is beautifully crafted. Even if it is your basic RPG, magical settings with large, fantasy like rock formations when you step out your front door. They look nice.

The class system is fun enough and battles are mostly enjoyable. But going back to that farming thing. To justify having crops and making food. they've tied the stamina to it, which if the day/night cycle doesn't get you. Running out of stamina will. and it'll force you to go back well before you wanted to.

They did try and right those two systems by having a teleport system to where you were, but it's of little help.

Overall though. I do enjoy this game, flaws and all, and I wish they would make another one. But it fell under that "we're making AAA games and it has to make AAA sales" It failed to do that and the series, from what I can see is dead in the water. Maybe they'll revive at least the idea with new IP.

4 out of 5. recommended.

I absolutely loved this game! It was a nice balance of well written stories. It has a nice balance of everything. Music, characters, stories, even the combat system. Farming is also prettyfun part of it and the way it all plays out feels like a good mix. I will give this game a 9/10. I've enjoyed it. It was light, fun and interesting. Also if you are the kind to just like collecting things, definitely has a lot in store!

Now if your looking for a heavy hitter kinda game with complex mechanics and heavy combat, this is not for you, while I enjoyed all the different jobs, there are some lacks in there thus the deducted point.

But all in all, pretty enjoyable and solid for me!

I have to say, so long as you remember that it's a JRPG first and a farm sim second, this is a fun game. It's interesting to see Square Enix publishing it too.

The worldbuilding and plot are interesting, though I wouldn't call them unique or groundbreaking.

The character customization is really fun an inclusive.

The cast isn't incredible, but they're good characters.

The class system is definitely what makes this game amazing. My favorites were the two hidden Classes, I think.

My only complaint is the post-game content. You need to complete the post-game content to get all the weapon upgrades, but... by the time you get all the weapon upgrades, there is no game content to use them on anymore.

I also feel that some of the plot elements could have used more clearer explanations, like your immunity to the Quietus.

But definitely a cozy and fun little JRPG with some farm sim to supplement it. If you're prepared for a mid-shelf experience, this is definitely worth the price.

The game itself is passable, really. I don't really appreciate the amount of unskippable cutscenes and story cliches, but it's not too bad. It's a farming simulator second, RPG first.

Where it falls apart is the controls. Maybe it's better with a controller, but playing on keyboard and mouse is an absolutely horrendous experience, with no fixes. There are no single "yes/select" or "no/cancel" buttons. And the game won't allow you to bind keys together, either. Every button for every action is different, and can't be set to be the same.

(...and the game isn't very good with indicating to the player what is happening and why. I changed the batteries in my mouse because I thought it was broken-- the bounding boxes and other mechanics are just like that.)

This game, while not bad by any means, is an especially pernicious sort of mediocre in that it is good enough to play the whole way through but not good enough to remember anything about specifically, and so succeeds only in wasting your time. Video games should be more to you than Harvestella.

안녕하세요 많은 스팀의 게임 여행자님들

기대반 걱정반으로 플레이 했습니다만
먼저 이 게임은 추천 비추천 사이에 중립이라고 말씀 드리겠습니다
아마 많은 분들은 비추천을 하실듯 합니다

주인공은 기억을 잃고 세상 이곳저곳을 돌아다니면서 많은 문제들을 해결한다
가장 기본적인 jrpg 입니다

1.그래픽도 요즘 수려한 그래픽처럼 화려하지는 않지만 나쁘지 않습니다
(무난하다? 전 엄청 나쁜게 아니면 그렇게 따지지 않습니다.. )

2.음악
장소마다 나오는 음악도 멋지며 의외로 많이 놀라면서 했습니다
(아름다운 음악들이 많아요)

3.보스들 패턴
보스들이 패턴과 기믹도 할만합니다
요즘 일본게임들 보면 그냥 대충 만드는편인데 패턴도 있고 기믹도 있어서 즐겁게 했습니다 (어렵지도 않아요)

4.생활 시스템
"농사 요리 "이 게임은 주인공이 농사를 지어 돈을 벌고 요리도 하고 그 돈으로 아이템을 살수 있는 것도 재미가 있습니다

5. 진중한 스토리와 세계관 분위기
뻔할수도 있고 추리할정도 복잡하지 않습니다만
세상을 모험한다 ! 이게 rpg 묘미 아닐까요? 워낙 만들다만 스토리 게임들이 많아서 인지
기대 안하고 했는데 재미있게 할수 있어서 좋았습니다

6.주인공과 동료들의 인연시스템(동료 서브 스토리)
위에 사이드 퀘스트랑 비슷한 이야기 같습니다만 각자 자신의 위치에 이야기가 필요합니다
인연이 쌓이면 파티에 혜택도 있고 여기저기 돌아 다니면서 이야기를 보면 재미있습니다

단점

1. 전투&장비
전투 시스템부터 사실 턴제로 해야 하는거 아닌가 할정도로 재미가 없습니다 .
캐릭터가 레벨을 올려도 엄청나게 강한것 같지 않습니다 대부분 rpg는 필드나 상자에 장비가 있습니다
이게임은 그렇지 않아요 그냥 농사 요리 장비강화 재료 끝입니다... 필드 네임드 몬스터 잡으면 주는 장비가
구할수 있는 장비입니다.. 익숙해 지시는데 시간이 걸려요

2.포션 시스템

체력을 채우는게 불편함.
앞서 말씀드렸듯이 이게임은 농사 시스템이 있습니다
요리를 할수 있는데 이게 포션 이라고 생각하시면 됩니다 요리에 문제는 무엇이냐 "공복 상태"

전투를 하다보면 스테미너가 내려갑니다 이걸 요리를 먹고 공복 상태를 없애야만 채워집니다
그런데 공복이 100채워지면 요리를 먹을수 없습니다.. 소비해야 가능해요 이게 처음엔 당황스럽습니다

3.색깔놀이 몬스터

몬스터야 디자인이 중복될수도 있고 색깔이 할수도 있죠 그런 몇개만 가지고 돌려 씁니다...
배경도 음악도 멋진데 왜 이럴까 하는 생각이 듭니다 차다리 배경 음악도 저예산으로 만들었으면 이해합니다
그렇지 않아서 더 슬픕니다

4. 시간의 흐름
전투 장비 포션 시스템도 피곤한데 이게임은 시간에 흐름 있습니다
12시가 넘어가면 피곤해 합니다.. 그런데 흐름이 정말 빨라요...좀 돌다가 집에 돌아가고 다시 오고
대체 왜 이래야 하지? 싶은 생각이 많았습니다

결론적으로 게임은 무난무난하게 했습다만
괴연 이게임이 rpg 게임라도 해도 될까 란 생각이 들었습니다

생활 시스템을 좋아하는 분들은 엉성해서 불편하실것이고
모험을 좋아하는 분들은 장비 포션 시간 피로도 시스템에 당황하실것이고
화려한 그래픽을 기대하신 분들은 요즘 어느정도 나오는 퀄리티 보다 떨어져서 아쉬우실것이고

정가 기준에선 이게 저예산 게임은 아닌거 같은데 하는 생각이 들어서 더 그럴수도 있습니다
워낙에 단점을 길게 쓰고 더 있기도 합니다만 .. 개인적으로는 재미를 가지고 했기에 아쉬움에 길게 쓰는거 같기
도 합니다 (얼마나 게임이 인기가 없으면 메인스토리 도전 과제 퍼센트가 점점 줄어듭니다..)

워낙에 평가도 많이 없고 엔딩가지 가신분들이 없는것 같아 이렇게 길게 주저리 씁니다
필자는 rpg를 좋아하기에 시간이 지나도 어떻게든 하자 마인드이기도 하고
정말 못하겠다 하고 중도 포기하는 게임이 많지 않습니다.. JRPG는 다 좋아해서...

종합적으로 답답하지만 할만은 하다 하지만 중립이므로 단점들이 너무 크기에..
영상을 찿아보고 판단해주세요 (사실 영상을 봐도 미묘하긴 합니다 대부분 시대에 안맞는다고 하실수도 있어요)
그렇기에 평가와 영상들로 판단 해주세요 !

자!
25년 올해도 얼마 남지 않은시점에서 의외에 게임을 엔딩을 봤습니다만
내년에는 이렇게 아쉬움이 많은 게임보다 적어도 나쁘지 않았다는 게임들이 많이 나왔으면 좋겠습니다
올해 마무리 잘하시고 26년에도 많은 분들이 게임을 즐겁헤 하는 해가 되었으면 좋겠습니다

또 어디선가 뵙도록 하죠

半農RPG。

イベントも敵も待ってくれるゆるい世界で難しくはないアクションが展開。
ストーリーの設定は良いもののライターさんの特徴なのか
話がのみ込みづらく頭に入ってこない。
各キャラクターストーリーがサイドクエスト扱いで本編へつながるダイナミズムがない。
クリアしても謎が残るし。ボイスがかなり半端。あれでパートナー選べって。。
あと、一度だけゲームがエラーを吐いて落ちました。オートセーブないんだよね。

Depois de 50 horas investidas no jogo, meus sentimentos são mistos. Por um lado, acho que existe certa diversão dentro do jogo e ele deve ser jogado. Mas ele é extremamente mediano em tudo. O sistema de classes é raso, as batalhas são repetitivas e sem qualquer tipo de complexidade relevante. Existe um sistema de fraqueza a elementos e certos tipos de ataques, mas é quase irrelevante desde que você esteja no nível certo, e não é necessário grind significativo. O enredo do jogo é um pouco confuso, e termina de forma pouco satisfatória, apesar de fechar os principais buracos do roteiro, desde que você chegue ao capítulo 10. Você também pode terminar o jogo no capítulo 8, mas com 2 "finais ruins". É um jogo que dificilmente eu recomendaria para alguém, nota 6 em tudo, mas por curiosidade e em promoção, pode valer a pena.

Well, I played it all the way through and it was OK at best. If you want to play an actual farming game, Stardew or Sun Haven are infinitely better. If you want to play a compelling RPG, there are endless options out there that exceed this particular title. I would probably go for a 5/10. If you're unfamiliar with farming RPGs this would probably be a nice introduction into the genre, but as I previously stated, it pales in comparison to other RPGs that excel in their respective roles. I could recommend it at not AAA pricing. Wait for it to go on sale. The character art is beautiful and the story isn't horrible, but it's definitely not worth 60$ in my opinion.

Everything I wanted and then some. I went in knowing nothing, hoping to get a cute farming sim with some JRPG elements from Squeenix. I got that, but the story kept evolving, the main story and side quests became more heartfelt and direct then expansive and more than I could have imagined. Great messaging, simple but fun gameplay.

If you're wanting high intensity action or pure farming sim, you'll get neither. If you want a little of both with key, great square enix storytelling, it's fantastic.

I enjoyed the gameplay, I liked the characters, and I even enjoyed the story too. I'm a big fan of the farming RPGs so it was nice to see Square had one since I'm used to playing Rune Factory.

This was a nice twist on the formula with its more serious story. This one surprised me, so I highly recommend it to anyone that enjoys farming with your RPG. I hope they make another one, that's for sure.

It's kinda meh?

Like, farming is fine (mb a bit slow though), ranching is super simplistic (but I like petting my chickens), fishing is fine, crafting is ok if kinda useless, cooking is fine (I do love how pretty dishes look), everything and everyone are pretty, music is nice (nothing special). Battle system I did not enjoy. It is slow and clunky and really just "mash 1-2 buttons, eat food, mash them buttons again".
I did like the plot - both main story and side quests. Not the gameplay (it's your typical "go there, kill that, fetch me that"), but the stories. Your party member's quests give them more personality and a lot of side quests actually made me feel something briefly. The main quest is a bit convoluted and might be hard to follow, but the story is interesting and the plot twist is actually not what I expected.

I don't know, I really doubt that I will ever replay this game, but I'm not mad that I bought it. If you're looking for a new farming sim to obsess over, this might hit the spot for like 2 weeks (+/- 1 week if you're want to grind for all achievements). Or you can just replay RF4 again. Just saying.

While the art is lovely and I've heard and am intrigued by the story going on, very lackluster and frankly dull combat has really hampered the experience. Considering that the game seems focused on progressing through these dungeons for story progression, this makes that prospect rather unappealing.

Combat is simply using the skills you have from your jobs and hitting the attack button to kill your enemy with the occasional mechanic you can dodge. However, there are plenty of attacks you cannot, at least in the stage I am in. Combat seems more like it's a health check than anything. Do you have enough HP to beat this guy to death? Then you pass. No? Then you die and go back to your little farm. Were there more to do with the farming, or at least stuff that was clear I could do perhaps, I could forgive the combat and just press on. But I do not get the impression that the combat will stop being important to progress anytime soon.

Very unfortunate. The music is lovely. The art, again, is lovely. The story seems like it might be interesting. But the combat and the games focus on it is a hurdle that will probably keep me from continuing.

It's not good... for a Rune Factory clone made by Square Enix of all people i was expecting better... Especially considering it's almost the price of a AAA title.

The farming feels fun but it's more like "farm a little, go do quests for the rest of the day"

There's far too much story, and the translations are sloppy and sound weird(unless it's just written poorly in Japanese as well lol), i don't play a game to sit there reading dialog, it should be more balanced. Or at least better written. Let me give but one example, this lady in town says "Did you see the meteor that fell in the town square? I gotta be careful when hanging laundry, another one could fall at any minute!" what?? lol

Also, even when there is gameplay, the dungeons are just boring. They're mazes that you sorta discover as you go, but there doesn't feel like there's much thought put into them. They're just kinda thrown together.

The relationships, as far as i can tell, are basic. Instead of giving gifts, you have to complete all that person's quests. Which might be fine, sometimes the whole "gift-giving" aspect of Harvest Moon clones can be boring especially when the girl you wanna woo has a strange schedule. But this replaces that with just "quests"... which it feels like Rune Factory already had(just the quests start at certain relationship levels instead

Lastly, while i think the class switching is kinda cool concept, it feels strange that there's so many classes yet you can only have 3 equipped at any given time. I guess this might be nitpicking, maybe you're supposed to just pick 3 you like and use them, but it feels strange.

TLDR; HARVESTELLA is made by one of the biggest game companies out there yet the combat feels meh, far too much story and the story and dialogs are all either poorly written or just poorly translated, the farming is very basic, relationship is almost nonexistent in a Harvest Moon/ Rune Factory clone?? yet you can still marry, very limited character creation(also "nonbinary" option which is dumb lol), lastly, i will say a lot of things are sloppy, you can go around the town, entering houses left and right, but there's very rarely anything to see. Feels like a pain when every house and even doors inside the house have a load delay.

I paid 33$ CAD on sale and don't think it was worth even that... i don't know why i played it so long lol

I don't know what it is with these farming sim games that obviously deprioritize combat, yet make it so central to the gameplay. Just... why? The story seems pretty interesting. The farming is extremely simple, but it's serviceable. There are a ton of charming side-quests to fill the time. So why force players to engage with the mind-numbing combat that no effort was put into making even slightly interesting?

剧情神中神，对战斗要求很高的不建议入手，把这个当剧情游戏就行了，种田不赚钱，主要做支线，支线钱来的快，BOSS打不过就使劲丢风之宝珠，火之宝珠等等，种的树死季还会活，其他活不了，不要着急买种子，支线会给的，导致我春天100多个西红柿。有几个恋爱候补有白月光跟伪cp，可以有人会雷这点吧，缺钱不要着急卖资源上面写了出货有钱那个在出货，打3-c之前需要准备3000，只要你边打支线边主线肯定足够的，几年前我打第一遍时候这里卡了，做了几个支线。目前第三章打完了，如果满分10分我给9分。
以下是我的碎碎念包含剧透可以不用看。
之前有个号也打到了3-c，不过没这个号厉害一点，我是支线主线一块做的，第一次玩先打的3b，因为找不到3a，话说这个编辑真该死3a刀提艾拉，3b刀塞壬族，3c其实没多刀BOSS有点难打邪修魔力珠过BOSS，布拉卡跟艾摩我喜欢的。
说一下剧情（总结下来多沟通）
1.莱瑟村村民剧情，仿佛看到了小时候的，父母很忙以至于我认为我父母不爱我了，没有沟通直接离家出走，看到这个小孩想到了小时候的我。
2.佣兵恋人的三个支线也很棒，情侣之间要多沟通，看得我心暖暖的
3.唉我跟有些角色无异，还是活成了父母的样子，每次父母吵架不沟通，我妈跟我吵架不沟通冷暴力我，不搭理我，而这个游戏上面也有这样的，还是得沟通，
4.还有几个恋爱候补，本来有cp跟白月光强性G了，3a那里爆哭😭

The game is pretty OK in terms of Quality, but as others have mentioned, the game isn't sure what it wants to do, and all parts suffer instead. As a tip for any players playing this on PC, turn your video settings to Full Screen instead of the default Windowed Borderless. Windowed Borderless constantly causes left clicks and right clicks not to work because it thinks you're outside the window. I played through half the game before realizing this problem.

While the game having Action RPG elements got me hyped initially, it isn't developed clearly enough and well enough. Dodging does not Cancel other actions like other games, and the game desperately needs something like that; it doesn't help that Dodge is a purchased skill. Bosses also are unable to miss, meaning your purchased skill of Dodge is pointless, and your only option is to just tank the damage, heal, and attack again. Not only, there are some boss mobs that despawn after not damaging you if you play as a mage. Why? Why limit and punish the choice to play one of the classes you design? Combat for your Party also doesn't initiate until you take damage, so your allies will just watch sometimes when you need their assistance. Square Enix should at least know better when it comes to JRPG Action, Classes, and Gameplay.

The tutorial is also strange, where key combat necessities are introduced in combat with actual mobs, and not really in a tutorial section. While the basics are, some mechanics that are important for bosses are introduced during the first boss, one that I was unable to beat at Level 12. Also, interrupting a boss during an attack does not nullify it, only reduce the damage it does. But if the reduced damage is half my health anyways, and it's undodgeable, is combat fun?

The Farming aspect is fine, but feels a bit jarring placed together with the Action RPG section. Machines and Devices also have to be placed on the limited farm plots you have: Why can't you place them outside farmland? A lot of things that make farming feel weak are things they could've consulted other Farming games to avoid. It honestly feels like they told their Action RPG team, "Add Farming because it's popular right now". It plays like an Action RPG more than anything else, and the farming elements hinder the Action RPG section and vice versa (Basic attacking needs energy, which makes sense for farming but not for an RPG).

Money costs for seeds are also higher than they need to be in my opinion compared to other farming games. After finishing the game, I was still struggling with money for seed costs per season, and it felt really unrewarding. I think the reason is that there are other money costs related to combat, and that making too much money if you focus on farming would affect combat? It's another possible example that the way these two gameplay styles mesh was not done well.

Fishing has to be unlocked by purchasing a book. WHY? No one ever mentions where you can the fishing book either. I didn't know until I looked it up when I hit chapter 3. The plus side is that Fishing is great, calm, and isn't annoying. I just wish it was explained instead of hidden. Cooking also gave me trouble in the beginning, and it wasn't until I got later into the game that I felt I could utilize it.

The Graphics are honestly pretty nice, and while water looks weird, the wonder and awe of new locations and this world are all pretty fantastic. However, for a $60 game, there are some character animations that would make sense for a $30 game. It just feels jarring story-wise sometimes when for instance a character sings but never opens their mouth. The story goes so well that it feels like the Farming should've been separated into another game entirely with another main plot, and the one in the game should just be segregated into an action JRPG without Attacking requiring Energy.

The story is engaging though, inciting your curiosity over what might happen next in the main story. Some side quests also accentuate the world, with genuinely surprising moments in sidequests. More often than not Farming games have a main story that is childish, or based on comedy because Fishing and serious stories don't make sense together. Because this game is more JRPG, it surprised me with its story progression and character missions.

Maybe purchase this game at discount.

Not the most amazing game, and almost seems half-finished with the lack of full voice acting and after-story content. There IS some voice acting but only for battles and idling, but the voices themselves sound like it would have been enjoyable to listen to throughout the game as actual dialogue. I like most of the game but by the time I basically completed all of the achievements the game just didn't have much left over for me to do. Most other games are still enjoyable to play and explore after doing all of the official content, so the lack of such for this game is probably why I feel it's a bit unfinished.

Which is kind of a bad thing considering the game's full price is pretty steep. Half of its current price would probably be closer to its actual worth, content-wise...

Overall though, the game is more positive than negative and, again, better to buy on special promotion than the full price.

Not a perfect game. Combat is a bit jank, and the farming is a bit basic. Despite its flaws I think it's tragically underrated. I loved my time with Harvestella.

El sistema de granja y materiales se pudo haber explotado de mejor manera, lo encontré un poco flojo y debo decir lo mismo con el combate, pero aun así es disfrutable y entretenido. Punto mejorable para una posible secuela.

La historia principal compensa dichos puntos al ser una idea innovadora, no se salva de los clichés pero es bastante buena. Las historias secundarias de tus compañeros son historias cortas y reflectivas; pese a ser opcionales, al completarlas te recompensan con materiales y aumentos a las estadísticas lo cual es bueno.

En conclusión, un juego disfrutable que te mantendrá relajado en momentos de cansancio o aburrimiento.

Recomendado.

I was very surprised by this game. I knew the reputation of "more JRPG than farming sim," so that was mostly why I gave it a try while it was on sale. Honestly, I didn't care too much about the farming part besides getting healing items, selling, and earning achievements.

I had a lot of fun with it, perhaps because it is ultimately a very simple JRPG.

I found a lot of the side quests to be a more compelling story than the first four chapters of the main story line, but I was interested enough in the main story nonetheless and found it compelling in the last few chapters. I did cry through a lot of this game because there were powerful moments.

The battle system becomes a little monotonous at some point, but what I hate the most is how there's no guard button. I really feel like this is a game that should have had one of those. At any rate, I'm a sucker for job systems; this one was not too bad for a simple game.

Cut scenes get a little long, even for JRPG standards. The only way to skip cut scenes is if you die in the battle and resume from the point when you wake up the next day. It is frustrating enough that it likely will deter me from a second play-through anytime soon. Also hate how you can buy accessories at stores and accumulate accessories through battles/exploration, but you can't sell them????

I think overall the game can best be described as simple. It's a simple JRPG with simple farming sim elements and a simple battle system; it is a simple plot with simple side stories. Visually, it is a beautiful game even if the leg-to-hip proportion on the character models are a little odd to look at. Music isn't that bad either. If you're ever asked for a starting point for someone to try JRPGs, you likely wouldn't be wrong if you suggested this.

This is not a Farming Sim with JRPG elements. It is an amazingly written JRPG with some farm sim on the side. As someone who's grown up on Final Fantasy and Fire Emblem and Persona, the plot of this overlooked gem genuinely shocked me (it GREAT ways) multiple times.

Also: I have never been so invested in NPC sidequests, and I LOVE sidequests

I just kind of half randomly picked up the game a while ago on a sale after having seen it in a Nintendo Direct, and now am writing a review well over a year after having played it.
Gameplay wise, the game's nothing special. The combat is very basic and fairly clunky, your success mostly depending on how much food you've prepared beforehand, meanwhile the farming mechanics are okay.
What I didn't expect, however, was for the story to be as amazing as it is. This is one of EXTREMELY few games where I was willing to put up with mediocre gameplay to see where the story was going.
I would NOT pay full price for the game with how "eh" the gameplay is, but on sale, it COULD be worth picking up if you're willing to go through the mediocre game to see the fantastic story beneath. That, or perhaps just watch a let's play or something.

No one talks about this game for some reason. So, I feel a review is needed:

Gameplay: Fun and engaging. I enjoy the farming sim feeling, but the combat and level up progression for abilities and jobs is still keeps the Final Fantasy feel. Wish more games could balance the cozy sim feeling and combat as well as this one does. Though, I do wish there was MORE to the farming sim part of the game.

Story: I love the characters so much. All of them are memorable and pretty deep. More importantly though, the story is a huge roller-coaster ride. If you like a game where the plot keeps going deeper after each new discovery, this is definitely the game for you. You will always be left guessing about what's coming next.

Combat: So much fun. I love the different jobs and love that they feel kinda new or revitalized from the previous jobs in prior games.

Post game: Final Fantasy games always have an end-game dungeon to go through and this game is no different. It doesn't feel impossible to beat, so if you're worried about 100% the game, I promise being a completionist should be doable.

Replayability: The game is heavily story-focused and has no major diverging paths in the storyline, so there isn't much reason to replay the game (Unless you just want to). BUT--there is the random ability to marry/partner with just about every major character in this game, so there is a small section of the game at the end game where you can save, look at all the marriage candidates, and then pick your favorite. Sadly, your spouse doesn't add much in the post-game. They're just kinda there.

Sound: SO AMAZING. I love all the soundtracks. Top-notch music. The SFX sounds are good too. Combat sounds and feels good.

Graphics: Everything is so pretty in this game. But I will admit that there ARE way nicer looking games these days. Still, if you like fantasy games and enjoy the 2010 anime aesthetic, this is probably not going to bother you at all. Another way to look at it is that you won't have to worry at all about your system running this game. You could run this on just about anything.

Overall: I'd recommend this game to anyone that loves the Final Fantasy franchise, or anyone that needs a farming sim with an rpg element. Legitimately, I view this game as my "perfect" game. Wish there were more just like this one--but just with the farming stuff just as in-depth as the combat stuff. That's my only real complaint about this game.
Oh, and maybe add some post-game stuff for the people you can marry. Cause they pretty much just stand around and do nothing at end-game. ^_^;

C'est un bon RPG pour chiller, parfait pour les joueurs casuals. Le système de farming avec la ferme est sympa mais on n'y fait malheureusement très vite le tour, les OSTs comme toujours avec Square Enix sont magnifiques, les graphismes sont très correcte (pour un jeu destiné à la Nintendo Switch). Enfin les quêtes secondaires (ce qui est rare dans la majorité des RPGs) ont un véritable sens et une continuité et enfin l'histoire est vraiment prenante et intéressante. Les bémols du jeu sont que celui-ci à part vers la toute fin du jeu est vraiment très facile, c'est également dommage que l'on ne puisse pas du tout personnaliser notre personnage durant notre partie...

◆ストーリーが素晴らしい作品
・ストーリー
メインストーリーも壮大で、涙ぐんでしまう場面がありました。
そしてキャラクターやクエストのサブストーリーでも、現代社会の抱える課題を突きつけられる場面もあり、心に残りました。

・音楽
要所で流れるBGMだけではなく、フィールドのBGMまで素敵でした。
街中も日中と夜とで別々のBGMが用意されていて、飽きません。
プレイしながら「クリアしたらBGMを買おう！」と思っていました。
勿論、クリア後に即全曲を購入しました。

・イラスト/背景
キャラクターの立ち絵、作物や魚などのイラストが綺麗でした。
特に100種類以上の料理のイラストが綺麗で、とてもおいしそうでよかったです。
常春の街の桜並木や紅葉の渓谷など、マップも綺麗で素敵でした。

・農業/畜産/釣り
畑が大きくなっても、クエストのクリアで作業を効率化されるので、割と楽にできました。
畜産も簡単だし、釣りも無理のない範囲でコンプリートできるのが良かったです。

・戦闘
戦闘が下手くそで、他のゲームでも盾を捨ててごり押しをしている自分には、合っていました。
自分で作った料理＆ジュースの回復で無理やり押し通せるのが良かったです。
ストーリーのボス戦にはギミックあり、雑魚戦はなし、という仕組みも良かったです。

・最後に
ストーリーに引き込まれて駆け抜けましたが、クリア後も図鑑コンプリートや実績解除を楽しめて良かったです。
これほどまでに「続編が出て欲しい」と思ったゲームは、これが初めてです。
本当に素晴らしい作品でした。

Esse jogo não é para pessoas que estão procurando gameplay mecanicamente boa ou instigante, esse jogo devia ser um RPG de turno, ou exclusivamente dungeon crawler, por que tudo oque diz respeito a cuidar de uma fazenda é péssimo.
O combate também não é dos melhores, não existe sustain, resolvi isso comprando 20 ovos ou leite antes de entrar em qualquer dungeon, não existe healer ou magia de cura, e isso dificulta muito o aproveitamento da dungeon, fica desgastante.
Porém a história desse jogo é sem dúvida uma das melhores que já vi, algo no nível de Xenosaga, infelizmente chegar nas melhores partes da história é desgastante, próximo do final eu já estava exausto da gameplay e só queria saber o desenrolar da história.
Minha nota para esse jogo: Rune factory + Xenosaga da shopee / 10.
