Could have been interesting, instead we are left with jumbled mess that performs poorly.
The tutorial consists of you tilling land, planting seeds(which are given to you and not explained how to obtain more), watering your planted seeds, then harvesting.
Once you leave the tutorial you can choose new game or you can look at the locked characters. There is no details on how the combat works, no details on the day night cycle, and no indication that when a day passes you will be forced back to town to do nothing since you have no money and no seeds.
While in the planting/watering/defending phase you can run around and explore, but nothing is explained and you are immediately forced to defend yourself from endless enemies. When night rolls around you are bombarded with enemies, even if you haven't planted anything on your plot of land. The night phase can lead to nice big lag spikes and stutters due to the number of enemies on screen. Once night passes you would think you could continue trying to figure out just how you are meant to obtain and plant more seeds, but think again because old helicopter Joe is here to abduct you and send you packing back to town. Rinse and repeat.
Overall this game could have been fun and interesting if they had any indication of progression built into the mechanics of the game, instead you get a confusing mess that just kinda looks interesting until you get your hands on it.
