Today's game is: Harvest town
(No link available as its an early access game.)
Today's game is a fun farm simulator that has been optimized for mobile play.
Harvest town is free to play and you must sign up for early access to play. There appears to be some form of multiplayer but I have not progressed enough to figure it out.
This game used HD pixel art and has features found in a Harvest Moon, Rune Factory, or Stardew Valley like game.
The main game screen has a lot of information to take in. You have access to all of your tools on the bottom of the screen. You tap to move around. Select your tool and you can automatically interact with all objects around you every time you tap. The goal is to collect resources and fix the farm up.
Each action uses stamina, and foods can restore it, along with sleeping. Loading screens claim you regen stamina while offline.
Your main inventory screen. You have two main currency, good and gems. It takes 60 gems to unlock a backpack upgrade. I recommend this first. Later the gems can buy new crafting recipes.
The second tab contains all the craftable items you can make. Clicking on each one shows what materials you need to collect.
The skills tab shows you all the skills you learn. Most progress as you do certain actions just like Stardew Valley.
This screen shows you how much the townfolk like you. There appears to be a dating mechanic as well.
The next two screenshots show all sorts if things you can do to earn gems.
The delivery truck is where you make money. Complete tasks and deliver them. There's a lot of quests to jeep you going.
Lastly, I give you a peek at the map. There are many stores to visit and people to talk to. There are many more areas to explore as well.
Overall:
5 of 5 cogs.
This game blends so many games together nicely and I highly recommend you check out this game if you are new to farming sims. It's simple enough to pick up and learn.
Story:
4 of 5 cogs.
The story has a unique intro and it has a lot of mystery to it. As I've only progressed part way I can not comment anymore beyond this point.
Amount of ads:
There are no outside ads besides optional ones you can watch for goodies.
Advertised as seen:
💯%
As far as I can see, images found on Google Play match gameplay. Straightforward and points out the type of game this is.
Graphics:
5 of 5 cogs.
Clean crisp sprite art that looks great on mobile. Comprehensive UI and fairly easy to navigate.
Audio:
5 of 5 cogs.
Bright and cheery music. It reminds me of all the similar games to this one.
Gameplay:
5 of 5 cogs.
Easy and fun to use. The game is very well tuned for mobile use. Note: The game warns you will lose progress and be reset when the game launched fully.
Free play:
75%
You can play and get everything free to play but there is a "membership" that gives you a lot of different boosts and bonuses. I feel that since progress is to be reset, there's no point to buy it until after release unless you really want to support the creators.
Fun factor
:
☺ Excellent.
This is the best farm simulator I've found for free. It has a lot to do. I recommend everyone to try it.
