Description

Originally released for the Game Boy Advance in 2003, one of the most beloved entries in the 20+ year history of the farm/life simulation series now known as STORY OF SEASONS in the West gets a complete reimagining to bring the charming and occasionally mysterious world of Mineral Town back to life! The graphics have been recreated to modern day standards, while core features such as multi-floor mining and the fan-favorite horse racing have been refined and improved upon. Newcomers to the series will discover the compelling farming gameplay and complex characters that made this series the standard in the genre, and veterans will be able to enjoy a return to a wonderful world with updated systems, character designs, and a completely new translation.

    • one of the best "harvest moon" games
Hardware Platform: Nintendo Switch
A few years ago Marvelous (developer) and Natsume (USA publisher) broke up. Natsume kept the Harvest Moon name and Marvelous changed the Harvest Moon games to "Story of Seasons". Because of this, the true "Harvest Moon" games are called "Story of Seasons" and the Harvest Moon games that Natsume makes are junk. Friends of mineral town is one of the best of the series. You farm, raise animals, explore, fish, and make friends. You meet the love of your life and can even have a kid. It doesn't have deep plot, but it's fun getting to know everyone in the town. There's a lot to do, but it does feel like a DS size game was brought to the big screen. It doesn't feel too small, but it does feel like it could be bigger on the Switch. The graphics are awesome as long as you don't mind the chibi style. The sound and music aren't bad, but I didn't find them amazing. The 3d is really well done and the animals are super cute. The 2-D portraits look really well-made, but I kinda miss the gameboy advance portrait style. Oh and I really like that you can change your clothes because I don't think you could do that in the DS version! Now everyone is going to want to know how it compares to Stardew Valley, and I think Mineral Town more structured and focused. There's not as much variety here, but everything works really well. It's not just do whatever you want: you need to collect the wood and use your tools and befriend the sprites. Mineral Town is a little more grindy. (If you're looking for the most casual experience, definitely choose easy for Mineral Town.) I think Stardew and Mineral Town have a different feel, but I like them both. Overall, it's a great game. It plays well and definitely feels complete. The previous Doraemon Story of Seasons felt rushed and incomplete, but this is definitely a full game. It makes you work the farm, but I find it rewarding to do so. ... show more

    • My childhood was updated!
Hardware Platform: Nintendo Switch
I originally played Harvest Moon: More Friends of Mineral Town on the Gameboy Advanced SP(which I still have, and still play when it works), and I stumbled upon this remake by accident. And what a happy accident it was! I ended up buying a Nintendo Switch Light just so I could get this... Story of Seasons: Friends of Mineral Town is a beautiful remake of that original, the developers obviously put a lot of time into it. And the new features make the game more enjoyable, for the most part. You can now choose your gender and play as a boy or girl, each with two options to select from, two of which were from the original games and two new designs. You can also change your skin color, although those options are limited two three: pale, tanned (if you can call it that), and light brown. I would like to have seen an update where you could design your own character with more options ie eye color, skin color and hairstyle, would have been nice to name a few. But they have at least given some representation to gamers other than just us white folk, so the willingness is there, they just didn’t go all the way. For those of you who played the original I’m sure you remember having to pick up your chickens to put them outside and repeat to put them in at night, or pushing cows and sheep. The struggle WAS real. But NO MORE! They brought in the BELL SYSTEM! There are two bells, one outside the cattle barn and one outside the chicken coop. When you ring each one the respective animal goes outside, saving you time. And at 8pm in game they all put themselves away! You no longer have to hunt them down, spending in game hours, to do that. I also like that they got rid of your animals getting sick if you can’t leave your house because of bad weather, or you neglect them, they just don’t produce milk/eggs/wool in protest. They no longer die in the game, which is odd considering animals die in real life, so cutting that aspect seems silly. You can sell them to make room for higher grade animals though. They also added a brown chicken, rabbits, alpacas and other flavored cows.(I always new chocolate milk came from brown cows, and this proves it!) Haha The crop aspect is also improved, you can now walk over anything that you plant! So now it’s easier to water, and you can grow more in your field because of this. And when you’re out there cutting down hay for your cattle, you no longer have to worry about slicing them with your sickle! Your horse can now be ridden through town, the forest and on the beach! Giving you a faster way to travel! A much needed, and probably popular change. Just like with your character, I wish you could have chosen the coat color. When you participate in Spring/Autumn Derby Day, you see black and paint colored horses so it would’ve been nice to be able to change that if you wanted. One of my personal favorite updates is that same items stack, so if you have nine eggs they only take up one spot! This saves so much time, and means you can finish all your chores around the farm in one easy go. They updated the look of the characters in town and gave some of them names closer to their Japanese version originals, they also added two new people. You can still get married, even same sex. They took out rival marriages unfortunately, I wish that they would have let other couples get married once you did. And with the addition of two new characters you can woo, they could have substituted for marrying if you had chosen their love interest. These are just a few of the things that have changed for this game, and they’re heading in the right direction! I highly recommend this game. ... show more

Review Image by Alina Alina
First off: As a kid, my first introduction to this game series was Harvest Moon DS. I bet I wasn't the only kid that wondered how Mineral Town looked like, as you couldn't go down the path that would lead you to it (I didn't have the Mineral Town GBA back then). Either way, it seemed like Mineral Town was one of the more popular games in this series, so it was awesome to see a remake of it. The graphics are just so cute and smooth! As for the gameplay itself, it also has promising qualities. The game has some great upgrades, such as being able to marry any bachelor or bachelorette. Now that's keeping up with the times! In addition, the background music is clearly still cheerful and happy. The soundtrack has been arranged differently, but remaining true to the original melodies. Definitely puts you in a great mood and creates the urge to start your own farm life, though it probably wouldn't be as easy in real life. The UI has become more practical, compared to previous games. Now you don't have to press at least two buttons to pick something up. Also, the tool selection menu is definitely awesome, just pressing the left and right arrow button can give you quick access to your most used tools. Can I also just say how adorable all the characters are?! (Popuri especially) And Thomas has come back with a top hat as tall as never before! Overall, I'd say any Harvest Moon/Story of Seasons fan should pick this game up. It certainly awakens feelings of nostalgia if you've played games from this series before, and if you're new to it, then, well, it'll probably be nostalgic for you one day as well! ... show more
