Update 5/31/22: crashing more often. Reduced to 1 star. Smh. I love this game... I also play on my Xbox. However, the app keeps crashing and when you're in the middle of a run through in the hazardous ruins or battling to finish a level and it crashes.. you have to start over. I'll change my rating once it stops crashing!

I was enjoying the game, it was just crashing infrequently. Until I got to a point where it would crash on a main story quest at a certain spot in the cave every time so I couldn't progess. It said it was cloud saved, so I tried to reinstall. Only to find I never had cloud save turned on I guess. If the crashes would be fixed, would try again.

Ok, now that I've finished the whole game I can give final review: Overall a decent game of this genre, however the game feels unpolished to me, doesn't offer much replay value. Not enough decorative items for house and yard, no different play style, restarting to get some of the romance exclusive items isn't worth the time, once the main mission concluded nowhere to spend all the gol. I wish for things to do post game. P.S. Why the fish tanks don't show number of fish inside? Add that please.

Edit: I have this game on the switch as well as on my phone. And let me tell you, the Phone version is so much better. The graphics on the switch looks so dull and something is wrong with the sound. Like I hardly hear the NPCs when they talk. I don't get that problem on my phone. I tried playing on the switch but I couldn't because the graphics was so poor.

Been a Harvest Moon fan since I was a kid and this is the first similar type game I've come across that I've LOVED. Not a lot of farming like HM but the whole setting and the town reminds me so much of HM. I'm absolutely addicted lol. Crafting system is easy to understand, great romance mechanics, interesting plot & setting. My main complaint is dialogue gets stale and controls are a bit clunky. Excited for its sequel!!

The controls are bad. I get that it is a mobile game and all but when you need good controls for parts like festivals or else you lose, it can get frustrating. Especially when it seems like the npcs get special help (like they can grab things from further away at the Memory festival or when I am tapping to grab it, they came over and take it anyways). I regret getting it on the mobile, pc have mods that can offset the sucky controls. Also the frequent crashes drains all the fun out.

I almost didn't download because of some of the reviews, but I'm glad I did. Extremely well done port, runs much smoother than on console (can't speak to PC) and boasts shorter loading times with several quality of life improvements for mobile, including auto navigate and much easier access to materials when crafting. My only real complaints are the pathings of auto navigate (character gets stuck often).. and *please* fix the red eyelashes. Please. I'll give you a cookie.

Everything here is done with some charm, care, and subtle humor. This game is my favorite one since it proposes a lot of ways to develop the character and the homestead. The battle system is well-balanced. There are a few things which might might become the game more addictive. Consider adding temporary events, enlarge the system of dungeons, and, of possible, automate the digging of minerals, for it's dull to spend the whole day in the dungeon. It's no fun. Overall, it's subtle in any aspect.

This is surprisingly good! The controls are pretty intuitive and easy, and I think this version is more generous with items (like during mining) than the PC or PS4 versions. It does get my phone pretty hot and drains the battery rather quickly, which is why I removed a star. I have a Galaxy S8+ and a Note 9 and the heat/drain happens to both. If that can be remedied, then I'd be completely happy with this version.

As of the last update, we can finally get the DLC outfits. However, instead of being sold in a pack, each individual outfit is a whooping $1 each ($26 total!!!) Outrageous to have to buy them separately, and while I could understand a price tag of maybe $8 for the outfits in total, this brings the DLC total over the cost of the main game. Ridiculous in the least, and so much more than the steam version. This move is beyond me, but I won't put a penny into them until the pricing is changed

I felt like I was missing out on so much after playing the Switch version because that one is so limited that I wanted to try the mobile game. I'm so glad I didn't listen to negative reviews! The game runs amazing. No problems at all. I'm also disabled and can't use a computer or play most games because of my hands and have no issues with this game. There is no need for a controller. It's easier without it after playing on the Switch. No crashes, no bugs, better graphics then Switch. No limits.

Okay this game is actually kinda 🔥! One of the most in depth mobile games I've ever played, and it doesn't do any money grabbing. Perfect thing to do on a plane ride. I have a suggestion for the devs. The inventory system is incredibly annoying: Don't require that an item is in the backpack in order to complete quests, commissions, selling at shops, gifting, etc. And don't require that an item is in the quick bar to cook with it. Just show whatever cooking items you own. Would be much better!

I had no issues with auto save. I didn't need to do deny files etc as stated in other reviews. I played for 2 hours after first buying without any issues. The controls need to be adjusted in settings, specifically auto camera to about 75 -80 so it follows you instead of having to do this manually. It also has an option for 3rd person view and to adjust game speed. I almost didn't buy due to reviews but I'm glad I took the chance. So far it's a really great game.

A nearly perfect port of an amazing game! This version does so many things right that other developers should take notes! My only two complaints are the auto run button is awkward and accidentally gets pressed a lot, causing me to run many times when I don't want to, and the text can be very small and hard to read. If we had an option to make the text bigger for smaller screens that would be great. All in all an exceptional game and fantastic translation to mobile devices!

I loved this game on PC and I'm really happy they made a mobile version. It's a mix of farming, building, fishing, and some hack and slash. The graphics and story are wonderful. As with games like this, I think it would hard/impossible to play on a small/weaker phone but it plays beautifully on my Samsung 21. I'll agree with others that the texts can be hard to read especially with the color scheme. It seems like bugs are getting fixed fairly quickly. Just buy it!

Awesome port of a great game. Touch controls are easy to get used to and work well for the most part. Seems like this is a complete port with all the expected features. You also get a bunch of bonus items in the mail that you can decorate your house with for an early game stat boost. So great to play one of my favorite console games on the phone with nearly no compromise.

Mostly great with just a few issues. First, needs controller support. Second, font is too small, even on my S24 Ultra. Also, doesn't recognize touch pen in many instances. Additionally, it's weird to not have a quick save function on mobile devices. Does make phone relatively hot on highest settings, but not uncomfortable. Battery usage on highest settings isn't bad. Audio quality definitely took a small hit on this port as well. On highest settings it looks good. Better than Switch port.
