And to bring the experience in, to play a character whose appearance you can change leichtfügig by the equipment, which is divided into different categories. So there is a combat system that accounts for a substantial share of the gaming experience. Man fighting with different weapons and skills against various opponents and at various locations, and you can still take up to three monsters with the team, which then support a and which can also be incremented.
The monster is the "Harvest Moon" players certainly recognize (these are the breeds, so to speak, that you hold), it is necessary to maintain and to use so that it takes advantage of. But there is much more than just those that give milk or wool ... some are fighting purely based, further work in the fields and build fruit and vegetables (and many more) to. Since there's obviously a lot more, but you can then discover for yourself :)
The world in which you can move around, is largely predetermined (limited), but this need not be so bad. There is enough to do tasks. These may be assumed in quest form and then terminated in certain individuals again. If you do not create or what's up another, then you can easily break this also. There are story-related tasks and others that are not necessarily complete. The walk-world consists of islands, Dungeons, the open sea and a native village called Fenith.
To move forward, you can practice in fighting or crafts. While fighting the character level increases (possibly of your monster, if you do mitnehmt), the crafts exactly the skill that crafts exerting. With good equipment fighting easier. But you do not ever produce anything itself, there are enough points of contact in order to get few items. This is then also especially for objects such as ingredients, food, materials, etc.
And that brings me briefly to the area of collecting, objects and again for crafting. It is generally wise to take advantage of the consideration received or manufactured objects in order to survive in combat or to make money. For this you can forge, fishing, mixing, cooking, etc. - until you have everything you wanted. But the point is quite far away, you have a long time fun with it, to gather up the necessary materials or to improve skill levels. Use the monsters that you have to find and tame, you can secure various benefits. So you can determine what you want like to / have reached pretty much. The main thing is you have access to the monsters and dungeons.
For the "Harvest Moon" player was argued that it does not go on in the story without a fight. This must be observed. Therefore, I call this game as a kind of special sandbox game that has no final goal, but a story and a lot of small moments when you get to know the game better. Action, however, offer sufficient unless one goes first in each dungeon, if you are already greatly upgraded. Is it possible to make, I even believe that this does not diminish the fun. Matter of taste :)
Some (more) collected random features of the game:
- Warrior, farmer, or a mixture thereof: You decide how things are going for you and what you want to be
- Various types of weapons with different combos and special moves, which can be used, and completely free movement in the fight
- Many quests: If you have a completed, will be the next to take the same - some quests appear over and over again
- Ease of use: Almost everything is explained or displayed with key icons, also very good speed-dial system for all kinds of objects (interchangeable quasi-push)
- Graphic enough to satisfactory for the genre and the needs of game design (would only be a fan of high-quality graphics here complain about)
- Also alongside Great pastime: fishing Go, place her objects, speak with other people and increasing the degree of your friendship in order to know them better

- Customizable environment: Transform or enlarge the house where you are accommodated, experience the seasons from spring to winter and plan a fruitful future by you marry your mistress
- Estimated duration (depending on whether you can tackle it quickly or quietly): 80 - 210 hours (limit one can forget really, because the game is indeed a kind of sandbox game, but only partially - lower limit could also be at less playing time are depending on what target to play)
Single player. German text with English voices at relevant points. Also available as a download from the PSN Store. 38 trophies erspielbar (4 gold, 12 silver, 21 bronze and platinum). Genre: "RPG sandbox".
All in all, quite recommendable. Bugs (Games errors) have so far shown no or hardly any. Only the German translation is sometimes not 100% perfect, but always understandable and everything else okay. Use the "Return-magic" almost any time storable, thus also suitable for a short free time. Also includes a mini-statistics, where you can view the progress or the records.
