The game offers some new animal options, such as an angora bunny, alpacas, and three types of cows: coffee, fruit, and strawberry. Controls for this are simple and intuitive. Since this is a farming simulator, most of the day-to-day lifestyle has players tending to their farm and livestock. Marie is truly a paperback romance reader. While there are more Heart Events to wade through, it’s a welcome change from previous games in the series given it means the characters are much more fleshed out. Why it has taken so long for a series to have this as an option is beyond me, and many of the scenes are super darling. Even watching television in-game, the writing in Friends of Mineral Town is sharp, punny, and full of laughs.Ī new and welcome feature is the option for same-sex marriages, creating new romantic events to entice players. It is abundantly clear how much care and work was put into the localization and exploring the stories makes for a great way to pass the time.
What helps these tiny tales along is the strength of the game’s localization, which offers so much hilarity and tenderness to the mix. From Basil, the botanist who wants to discover new species of flowers, to Jeff, who wants to rekindle his marriage, there are so many small and sweet tales being told. While the story is straightforward, Friends of Mineral Town asks players to engage with their community to learn more about the Mineral Town residents. The farmer has to raise livestock, befriend all the neighbours, and courting all the eligible bachelors and bachelorettes - it sounds easy, but there is a lot of work to be done! Mayor Thomas has tasked our protagonist with reviving the farmstead and bringing happiness to Mineral Town. Much like with every Story of Seasons title, players take on the role of a young farmer who has moved to a small town to take over the old family farmstead. Still, XSEED Games has delivered us a new Story of Seasons, and as always here at RPGamer, it is my pleasure to review all these wonderful farming sims. I even bought the game last year for the GBA hoping I would get to it… and a week later the Switch version, Story of Seasons: Friends of Mineral Town was announced.
Confession time: I never owned a GBA, so I never played Harvest Moon: Friends of Mineral Town.
