It's such a shame they went back to the... outdated, graphics for the new Story of Seasons game, and it runs so poorly at that. The graphics in the Doraemon Story of Seasons game was SOOOOOOO good. It was the perfect way for them to go graphically.

I'd suggest picking that up instead on the eShop or if you want a physical copy, it was released in the Asia (not Japan) region with the English language on the cart.

At least this game looks both graphically and gameplay-wise MUCH better than that bootleg Harvest Moon title.

@eribuster: I never enjoyed stardew's art style. This game may or may not be as good, but it appeals to me more for one reason or another. There are plently of reasons why someone might play one over the other.

thanks for this quicklook vinny , i almost pre-ordered the version with the plushie for this ( its cute) but i'm glad i waited. i know i would like it cause i've always liked this and i've been playing stardew again cause the new update. if they put it on pc or fix the framerate issues i could see myself getting this entry but as it stands i guess i'll skip it or wait on a good pricedrop at the very least .

@vinny I recommend trying rune factory 4 they ported it to switch from the 3ds a while back rf5 is supposed to be out this year as well. It's made by the story of seasons people has all the farming stuff but is also set in a fantasy world and has more rpg elements and monster fighting. You also farm monsters instead of normal animals and can take them out adventuring with you or your friends/spouses/child. I'm pretty sure from what I remember the series has always had mining so maybe that's where it all started but I've not played all the story of seasons games so could be off. I'ts a pretty weird series also probably my favourite series and I think you'd like it
