Customers are positive about the addicting gameplay, ease of use, and charming music and characters in Story of Seasons: Friends of Mineral Town. Many appreciate the nostalgic elements and the quality-of-life improvements in this remake of a classic game. However, some customers are negative about the inconsistent controls and the absence of promised pre-order bonuses. A few also felt the game lacked sufficient content compared to other entries in the series.

    Fun game! I was always big on Harvest moon for the PlayStation 2 and now that I own a switch it's even better.

    It's a pretty faithful remake of Harvest Moon Friends of Mineral Town for the GBA. The only downside I can think of is that rival marriages were removed.

    A cute remake of the original. I love the addition of the strawberry and coffee cows. Plus being able to marry any of the bachelors or bachelorettes is great

    Excellent remake of a childhood favorite game. Make sure you know that the original developers have parted from the harvestmoon name and became story of seasons.

    Absolutely cute and super casual. I was always a fan of the Harvest Moon series before they split into two. Story of Seasons bringing back the nostalgia!

    Another great Harvest Moon title. I love the story and game play. Time moves a bit quicker than I was used to but adjusted quickly. Graphics are pretty as usual.

    A huge remake from the older version back in the days. It brings back a lot of memories from when I used to play it as a small kid! They’ve also made it slightly easier as well. Great job.

    From a viewpoint of never having played the original but loves the other entries: great entry! Definitely still feels like an older game with some QOL improvements!

    Nice game. I got the cow plushie even though I’m not pre ordered it. Think you will get the plushie when you pick up the game instead of having it ship to you

    I’m just as addicted to this game as my daughter. Cute graphics and story. Wish you could customize the character more but that’s about it. Very fun game.

    Farming Speedrun

    I've played other games in the series back when it was called Harvest Moon in the US but missed out on the original release of this one. I REALLY like the game so far although I have to say, with 5 realtime seconds equating to 10 minutes in-game your whole day is only about 10 minutes (minus time spent in buildings/caves) which makes for days feeling like a bit of a speedrun especially in the beginning. Only complaints are that I heard there were rival marriages in the original which no longer exist, there's a lot of events you can't participate in during your first year, and the 2 new marriage options are really eccentric lol. Overall a great time-sink.

    Solid Harvest Moon in the series of games. Picked up to itch my Harvest Moon 64 and SNES itch but didn’t quite hit the spot. Decent play nonetheless.

    Its old school harvest moon with a fresh coat of paint, Ie the game that farmville ripped off years ago. If you like micro managing or just want to take it easy both play styles are valid. Light rpg and social elements, upgrade your tools for faster or more efficient farming, talk to villagers and give them items they like for more happy points, ect. Most characters have their own little story you can go through if they have enough friendship with your character. Fun fact, the current harvest moon games arent made by original company due to trademark issues, the story of seasons are closer to the original games.

    Cute remake of a farming game

    For the record, I preordered online back in May, got it shipped to my home, and received the pink cow plush. This is a pretty cute farming game. I played the GBA More Friends of Mineral Town back in the day, so I was familiar with the basics, though it is a full remake, so there are some things to get used to. The graphics style is quite cutesy/deformed and I don't love it, but the character portraits are all right. In-game time seems to move a little faster, though I got used to it after a few "days" (and it's nice that the clock apparently stops in the mine). Like most Harvest Moon/Story of Seasons games, it's pretty addictive.
