#HARVEST MOON DS GAMES FULL#
The game spans over 30 years, enough time to have a baby and see it grow into a full adult, which is the ultimate goal for many Harvest Moon fans. Most importantly, they're needed to find the right girl to court and eventually marry. Watering crops and giving each animal the right food are key to have a flourishing farm and, indirectly, a successful social life.Īnimal and crop festivals, cooking contests, and horse races are, in fact, necessary to become friends with the villagers. The farmwork mainly consists of cultivating the crops, that follow a three-season rotation (nothing grows in winter), tending cattle, milking cows, and other elements, which span from shearing sheep to hatching eggs in order to have more chickens. Once again, players are given a small farm at the beginning of the game and are asked to make it prosper, mainly in order to expand it and build new facilities such as a silo, a barn and a bird shed.
#HARVEST MOON DS GAMES SERIES#
The basics of the series haven't changed in Harvest Moon DS. Now that the moment has finally arrived, it's about time to grow up and question why we can't put our stylus on our wives. For years, gamers have silently decided not to question the socio-political environments in Harvest Moon and simply waited for the moment when they could put their hands and stylus on a sheep. It's a place where cows abound, but nobody has ever heard of hamburgers, where fair trade is the keyword, but harvest sprites can be hired and exploited for far below the minimum wages, and where you can marry a girl simply giving her the right present for her birthday, but you'll have to sleep in a separate bed after the wedding. Since the first Harvest Moon game came out on Super NES in 1997, there has always been a special place for gamers tired of killing Nazis, driving like psychos and generally behaving in a criminal way.
