This game is decidedly okay. Nothing special, and nowhere near as drawing as the likes of Stardew Valley, which has far more content and is cheaper. I felt like it’s already Groundhog Day so early on. Farm, mine, talk, repeat. There’s little draw in the main story of ‘upgrading’ the town, and the story line just isn’t long or interesting enough to justify the cost of the game or an outstanding place in the series of SoS /harvest moon games. Better than Light of Hope, but nowhere near as detailed or interesting as previous titles, such as trio of towns, or the original harvest moon DS games which had hundreds of hours of developing game play. The game is also really laggy and has features that leave a lot to be desired. Why do we have to press A to move from one area to another? Why do tools take seconds to perform the task? It seems so far behind in development to a lot of other games that are similar. I hope they address things in updates to come. Otherwise, it’s an ok game, but nowhere near as good as I was expecting.
