There’s always been one game series that I’ve been a sucker for, Harvest Moon. Whenever I talk to someone about the Harvest Moon franchise, I always have a hard time explaining why the games rock so much. When you tell someone that it’s a farming sim, with an option of finding a wife that doesn’t really turn a lot of heads. Of course, for those who have played the Harvest Moon series since the SNES know that it’s one of the most addicting experiences you’ll find in gaming.
The latest Harvest Moon game coming out isn’t even technically a ‘Harvest Moon’ title. Rune Factory got its start on the DS, as an unique twist to the farming life. Instead of just farming, and marrying this game brought some dungeon crawling, fighting, monster collecting, and really added a whole new way to play the Harvest Moon games.
Now, the Rune Factory series is making its debut on the Nintendo Wii. IGN has provided some gameplay footage, and the videos definitely impress. Enjoy.
