Retro Replay Review

Gameplay

Plant and tend a changing collection of crops.

Raise animals while finding room for the next addition.

Trade farm products for items that support further growth.

Graphics

An overhead view fills the farm with small animals, crops, and rustic buildings.

Story

A stay in the village becomes a chance to settle down.

The community’s exchanges support the new farm.

Daily work gradually changes the empty land into a busy household.

Overall Experience

The barter system makes another harvest part of a longer plan.

A crowded farm can become a practical problem as well as a satisfying view.

This record covers the 2003 PS2 original rather than the later portable edition.
