Yes, the visuals have seen an overhaul and there are new characters and relationship options, but the gameplay doesn’t seem to have evolved in the same way. While the two Story of Seasons titles on 3DS and the Doraemon spinoff that came to Switch in 2019 feel like completely new experiences in the franchise, Friends of Mineral Town doesn’t stray too far from the 2003 original. While the formula will be familiar to anyone who has ever played a game in this genre, a lack of variety and depth make the latest Story of Seasons game more of a fair weather recommendation. In between planting and harvesting crops, feeding livestock, and foraging for berries and plants, you meet over 15 villagers who you can befriend and interact with, some of whom you can even marry. With that confusion out of the way, let’s focus on the new Friends of Mineral Town, which is a farming and life simulation where the player inherits their grandfather’s farm and sets out to restore it to glory.
HARVEST MOON FRIENDS OF MINERAL TOWN SWITCH SERIES
Given that the Story of Season’s moniker is the one attached to the developer of classic Harvest Moon games, Marvelous Inc., it’s important to remember that Story of Seasons is the series with the pedigree, unlike the modern Harvest Moon titles (such as Harvest Moon: Light of Hope) developed by Natsume. Story of Seasons: Friends of Mineral Town is a remake of 2003’s Harvest Moon: Friends of Mineral Town for the Game Boy Advance.
