IGN Wrote:Developed by the veteran team behind the fan-favorite Harvest Moon series and headed by longtime lead producer, Yoshifumi Hashimoto, Story of Seasons represents a new beginning for the beloved farming RPG franchise. Story of Seasons carries on the iconic life simulation gameplay made famous through series’ 18-year history while infusing new and exciting features into the experience, marking a key milestone for the franchise.

Create your own a fully customizable character, selecting gender, hair style and facial features in order to make your character your own. Then take on the role of the newest resident of Oak Tree Town, a small settlement filled with promises of new beginnings, hard work and significant relationships. In the process of tending to crops, animals and the many other aspects of everyday farming life, you will amass the resources necessary to customize and expand your farms -- from livestock and seeds to décor and layout -- granting total freedom to shape the homestead as you wish. Traditional farm-building mechanics are combined with all-new multiplayer and StreetPass connectivity, granting players the ability to tour one another’s farms, cultivate crops together and even exchange gifts. Further adding to the roster of new elements, Story of Seasons has decorative items available from the Super Mario Bros. franchise, including Super Mushroom, Fire Flower and Super Star.
