Farming may be dying as an industry, but as a video game career it’s thriving. Farming games must strike some evolutionary nerve regarding the need to grow food. And Harvest Moon: The Tale of T🌠wo Towns promises yet anotܫher million tons of fake crops.

The most recent Nintendo DS installment in the series is another farming RPG with a strong emphasis on building relationships. The story begins with the character choosing between two bitterly divided towns embroiled in a agricultural cold war with two different farming styles; either animal husbandry or field 🐻farming. From there you act as an agronomic Henry Kissinger, seeking to reconcile the towns’ differences.

The game looks and plays like many other Harvest Moon games, with an in-game clock, family options (such as marriage), and of course, hours of su𓃲per cute farmin♏g. For fans of the Harvest Moon series, this iteration will feel safe and familiar with a different story. And with 40-60 hours of gameplay with no real ending, you can count on staying occupied until the next one comes out.
