The Tale of Seasons computer game collection was originally produced by Victor Interactive Software (gotten by Marvelous Amusement in 2002), with Natsume managing the English translation and circulation in North America. The series debuted in Japan on August 9, 1996 with Bokujō Monogatari (牧場物語-, lit. The Farm Tale ), which later was released in the North American and also CHUM regions as Harvest Moon. Story of Seasons is a collection of ranch simulation/role-playing computer game where the primary objective is to maintain a farm over a time period, having a tendency the crops as well as animals throughout the seasons, while befriending the nearby townsfolk and also obtaining wed in some games. Tale of Seasons titles have actually been released on many various computer game consoles and also portable game consoles. Numerous titles have actually been re-released on several systems as unique versions which consist of an updated gameplay. Fourteen spin-off titles have been released, featuring associated elements. Among these titles, Rune Manufacturing facility: A Fantasy Harvest Moon, was released to mark the 10th anniversary of the Tale of Seasons collection. One factor the Story of Seasons collection has actually stayed preferred is because of the unmodified core system of the games. According to Yasuhiro Wada, Tale of Seasons lead developer, it has actually been the advancement group s reaction to the target market s requests which has permitted the collection to keep its popularity.Due to Natsume keeping the civil liberties to the Harvest Moon name when Marvelous made a decision to have their very own American department, Xseed Gamings, take over North American circulation, the more recent titles in the collection had to be relabelled to Story of Seasons while Natsume seized the day to begin their own Harvest Moon series of comparable games beginning with Harvest Moon: The Lost Valley. This has reportedly caused some level of complication among players as well as followers of the collection.
If you are mainly a PC player, you may not know the history of franchise seasons, but you have probably heard about the original name of the Harvest Moon series. The very influential classic has inspired other best-sellers such as crossing animals and star valley, among many other agricultural games. The franchise had to change their names for copyright reasons with the publisher she left behind, but rest assured, the original developers create history of seasons.
Pioneers of Olive Town marks the first time since the creation of the franchise in 1996 that the series arrives on PC. (Well, last year a remake of their title 2003, Mineral Town Friends, received a portage but a remake is still only a remake, it s good to have a flagship title.) But well Sure, there is a lot more competition in the genre now! The question is, does history of seasons successfully follow?
Inspired by the living stories of your deceased grandfather, you jump on your moped and go to Olive Town, where he lived. Starting from nothing but money in pocket, from a landscaped ground and a tent, you strive to turn it into the place of your dreams!
The trick with Olive Town is that he is incredibly cute to watch. The citizens of the city each have their own adorable style, both in the illustrations of the characters and the model itself. One of the classic goals of the game being to find someone to marry, the wide range of single unique singles and singles is certainly a big plus. In addition, the environment is colorful, sweet and soothing, and the animals also bring me absolute joy (especially the downed cows!).
There are also many customization options for your own character! Many different outfits to unlock and with whom you express, ranging from pretty farmer outfits to joke costumes that make you look like a giant shiba. Of course, you can also build and decorate your own home, which is one of my favorite ways to spend my time in these games.
Events and history also offer perfect locations for the game to display all these elements interacting with each other. Puppies, fishing tournaments, the harvest festival and many other events will make you smile in addition to the fun mini-games they offer. In addition, you get closer to the inhabitants of the city will give you their own stories and personalized events, including of course appointments with your romantic partners.
How is the basic gameplay? Well, it s as good as it has always been. There is an undical quality undical to the gameplay established by harvest moon, and he still lives hard here. The game loop is simple, clean the land collection resources, place seeds on the floor and water them, feed your animals and harvest the goods, repeat every day. If we put them in words, these games always sound terrible, but it s really something else when you play. There is always this feeling of a turn more than you can not stop. Tomorrow, your cucumbers are ready for harvest, which means that a lot of money arrives, it means you can unlock this new upgrade, it means that you can explore the new area, now you have found a new barn that You can fill animals, and by the time that is done, it s time for another harvest.
It s hard to say that a game mechanism is really perfected, but it s really the case here. The most surprising thing is that it s not rare. It has been around for a very long time, and you can find it as well in crossing animals and star valley. There is not much (or not at all) innovation here, but it may be a good thing if the loop is already so good.
This means that the peculiarities of Olive Town pioneers exist solely on the unfinished factors of the game. As I mentioned earlier, the visual elements are fantastic and it is probably the best reason to choose it rather than the Other if you like this style. Seasonal events are quite standard rates, again quite good, but nothing special. However, the characters and history left me a little to be desired.
Like the others, pioneers goes for a well-being game, an idyllic agricultural land where you can escape at the end of the day. The problem here is perhaps that it may be a little too shy. There does not seem to be any problems at all, and we do not feel that the city needs your help. Which of course removes any pressure, but also removes the impact of history.
This has a particularly important impact on the relationship you can train. Going out with someone, it s just getting to know the other person better. You do not share vulnerabilities, you do not understand the faults of the other and you certainly do not get on better people. These are the factors that make any memorable romance. The characters simply do not suffer major growth here. I do not want a hardcore depressing story, but a little darkness can make history much happier and lasting. Of course, if you are looking for a deep story or a good love game, none of these farm games would be your choice. Yet this adds a nice little bonus to those who deliver memorable characters.
Always, History of the Seasons: Pioneers of Olive Town succeeds in all important areas. The characters are really helpful and full of personality. I am always absolutely in love with aesthetics, and I can admit that I am definitely staying too long to play this game. However, there is a functionality online, but if you are looking for a new solo agriculture game, take a eye to this one.
