Have you played Harvestella?
No. It's in my backlog
@@Morgana_Diego good morning!
I've played Harvestella to 100% completion. It's not only my favorite game on the Switch, but my 2nd favorite RPG ever (behind FFIX).
@@ArotTheKarot that is amazing to here!!! It is such an amazing game! It placed ver y highly on my top 10 Games I played in 2023 :) thank you for watching
Great review! Harvestella is such a gem. I'd love to see a sequel that expands and refines the flaws while further building on the world. Oh and with full voice acting too.
Thank you :) absolutely agreed!
Great review 😊 I have just started playing this and I'm enjoying it so far. The farming side of things is cute, it's my first main game with farming elements. It's nice to see the game is quite inclusion for everyone with the options of gender and thank you for mentioning it. Thanks for a great review! 😊
That's awesome you are enjoying it!!! It was of my favourite games I played last year! I always sing it praises :)
love that you've covered this hidden gem!
Thank you! :) I loved the game :)
Yayyyyy! Loved this review so so much! It was perfect! I only played the game because of Branden at Just The Gems! So we can all thank him haha! Either way, this was a really good review and I seriously hope more people play it because of this!
Thank you :D it really needs to get played!!!
Now that's you two plus Alex from Backlog Battle all telling me to play.
@@JamesBantz thats the writing on the wall haha!
I was intrigued by this game before but I think you've convinced me I have to try it out at some point
Hey! Thats awesome! There is always the demo as well to try out as well!
Great review. Might pick this up if i can get it for the cheap.
Honestly bud its great! Hope to see it appear in one of your videos soon ;)
I'm glad you reviewed this. The demo was okay, but really just made me want to play Rune Factory instead. Now that I know there actually is a good story, I'm all in.
Yeah the story was a massive surprise man!
Awesome review, John! I still haven't played my copy, and I know one of my friends will be slapping me across the head for not doing so 😅
Thank you my dude! Get it played man!
It's insane how many RPGs Square enix released within that time frame. I am Setsuna, The octopath games, Triangle Strategy, Live A Live, Oninaki, Lost Sphear, diofield chronicles. I managed to get physical copies of them all. But then I recently remembered another game called Various Daylife. The irony of it is that nobody even talks about that one I remember seeing it once in a Nintendo Direct and it was never talked about again. 🤦🏾
Damn you're right I forgot about that Various Daylife as well! haha. I'm gonna have to try and find out more about it! :P
@@chickenfillets Sweet appreciate what you do bro! 😁💯
@@SlRNIGHTINGALE that means alot honestly! Pop into the comments anytime!
A good vid. I had opposite feelings on this game, but I'm glad you enjoyed it.
Thank you! I can understand that yeah, not every game is for everyone haha!
I enjoyed the demo but unfortunately it has the 2 most time sinking features that will be hard to complete
Farming and leveling up lol
Hey dude!! Haha totally get you, the farming luckily I felt didn't take up too much time!
I did overlook Harvestella because of the farm sim elements but the combat looks pretty cool and the game looks lovely overall. Cheers John.
Adam! Yeah I originally overlooked as well but after watching Femtrooper's review i was sold on it! There is a demo btw so might be worth giving it a go!
How is the difficulty? I like a bit of challenge in RPG's but I've heard people say it's pretty easy
It's not overally difficult. There were a few boss fights I had to retry a few times. There certainly is reasons to revisit dungeons and get stronger though :)
Great review. I finished the game twice and loved it. If you are looking for the usual farming game this is not for you. I played a lot of Harvest Moon games and always get bored after a few days playing 😂. I prefer the farming, combat, story type and this has everything. Hopefully the will have either a sequel or DLC but I would be surprised if they do. Hope my English is not not bad 😅
Hey there! Your english is perfect! Thank you for saying it was a great review! Harvestella is so good in every way! Loved it!
I loved Harvestella! Such a great game
I see nothing wrong with this statement! Haha!
I played it a little but put it aside for other games. I will probably pick it up again once I finish the Trails series.
It's definitely worth a go! See your loving Trails man!
@@chickenfillets Yeah I am in love with the series! ♥️
This has been on my shelf for so long. Why haven't I played it yet?
Well hopefully the review helps get you to take it off the shelf 😀 appreciate you checking the review!
Great review mate, I actually played Harvestella and thought the story was really well done kept me on edge throughout, I will say the gameplay did disappoint me a little the game could have stood to run a little better but that's just my nit pick, Personally I found the game okay but the story is really what made me stick around for the most part
Story is definitely the strongest part of the game! Like totally didn't see anything coming!
Great Review Dude. Now I am even more sure that I need to play this in the near future.
Btw. I think it's great that you mentioned the non-binary Option for the character creation. Inclusion's such an important topic. 😊
Can't wait to dive into this game - the Demo was a lot of and surprised me. 😊
Thanks man!! Yeah thought it was worth mentioning! The game is awesome man trust me haha
One that defo fell under the radar, might pick it up at some stage, gotta get through other RPGs in the back log!
It's honestly worth a go, there is a demo btw if you wanna try it out!
Just a slight nitpic, I wish you talked about the actual performance of the game in the performance section. You kind of really only talked about the art style/graphics not how the game runs. I'm curious about this because I heard that when the game first released the performance was pretty poor on Switch and was wondering if it was any better now.
Hey! Thanks for asking! So for this game I mainly played it on handheld, I didnt see any sort of dips in performance. Even during combat sections where most action JRPGs can chug it was solid. I'm not an expert on output FPS etc but as I mentioned it ran really well and I didn't come across any issues. Btw this is great feedback so I can make sure it's in further reviews down the line :)
A shame harvestella ain't going to have a sequel cuz the producer left square enix. I just realized something I have never even played final fantasy not even sure which one to start with. I kept on thinking getting final fantasy 6 but I hate square enix except for yoko tara( hopefully I spelled his name right cuz I love nier on the Nintendo switch). I'm just going to wait for ender magnolia to come out and replay ender lilies and redemption reapers later on. Sorry if I sounded rude
Nah bud, didn't sound rude! I really hope we do get a sequel but like you say we probably won't! If you ever did try Final Fantasy at least you have plenty to choose from haha! FFX is always a good starting point. I did start off with FFVII when it first came out in 97. Thanks for checking out the video :)
Totally unfair the reviews on metacritic. The game does open up after chapter 2.
But well, isn't for everyone yeah, especially because all the components of Harvestella (farming and combat) aren't deep, but that's why they work together. There's no time limit for anything, just to get back to your home because the character kind pass out and the doctor will charge you more and more everytime, so as long as the MC cames back before ten to your home you'll be ok 😂.
Great review, Harvestella is one of my favorite games of all time (yeah you can laugh at me, i like the game with farming and kinda playstation 3 graphics. So many times people said this to me). So complimenting, the game is not for you if:
-You want farming and life sim at full, because is not. Farming is more a mean to an end (resources), and its pretty simple, not more than probably 15 minutes i used to take care of it every in game day. And it's rpg centric, the combat isn't avoidable.
-You look for super complex combat, you don't even have defensive options. The difficulty isn't out of the charts, but there are some endgame zones that'll kick your butt (orbital cradle and those damm mechanical things, and the 60 floors of the Quietus dungeon).
-Is story heavy. I'd day is kinda self insert, but at the same time the MC has their background, is hard to say more without spoilers.
This is such an awesome comment! Thank you for taking the time to write it! Harvestella is one of the best gaming experiences I've had this year! Everything about Harvestella just oozes with charm!
Thank you for checking out the review :)
Good Morning 😂
Good morning!
I don't think this game is for me. But I will say I love the art style.
theres a demo that maybe worth a try dude ;)
@@chickenfillets I'll give it a go. How's work going since I know you're shattered.
The artstyle is absolutely gorgeous, isn't it?
@@uppernimbus Yeah it is.
I played this game as my 1st farming simulator and I honestly thought it was pretty boring. Bought it on a sale and it still wasn't worth the price. Granted I did play the demo 1st and the game did look promising at 1st, but the more I played the game, the more I didn't want to play it anymore.
Totally fair! Not every game can hit a home run! Really appreciate you checking the video out :)
The time limit is putting me off from trying this game. I'm a slow gamer who likes to grind and explore thoroughly at a slow pace and being stressed up by a time limit, even if it's a generous one, is too discouraging for me.
Otherwise, I'd most likely try this game.
Totally get where you are coming from! I would certainly give the demo a go and if you do enjoy it and decide to buy it then your data would transfer over :)
The meeting and female barely look different at all... missed opportunity for another cool character
Can understand where you are coming from!
I played the demo and it was really mid at best
Totally fair! At least you gave it a try :) thanks for watching the video!
@@chickenfillets good video bro
