Miramagia vs Verdant Skies
Miramagia
Miramagia is a rather interesting blend of fantasy RPG and a farm simulation. Choose a class, be it a Sorcerer, a Mage, a Druid or a Shaman, to play as and sett up your very own magical farm whre you can grow some of the most bizarre crops and plants ever. Decorate your place with an assortment of fun decor and turn your farming village into the prettiest in the neighborhood.Miramagia is also social in the sense that players can visit and help out in their friends' farms or if they are feeling frisky, play a prank on them. They can send gifts to each other too. Aside from the fairies that help you, you can even get an adorable dragon pet too!
Verdant Skies
Verdant Skies is an indie farm simulation/RPG combined with a pretty unique art style and visual novel-like dialogue choices. In this game, you play as the latest pioneer who was sent from Earth to a habitable alien planet whose main job is to set up and manage the farms at the colony, but of course, you are often asked to help out other characters with their tasks. You can also interact with the characters to increase your relationship level and eventually unlock new options such as being able to date them and start a family.Verdant Skies also features a straightforward gathering and crafting where every almost every action you take in this game will cost you time and/or energy. There's no need to restore the time you lost, but energy can be easily restored by consuming food. As a game that's very similar to Harvest Moon in essence, the game's farming aspect can be impressively in-depth, allowing you to splice the genes of your crops and your livestock to produce much more superior versions.
Verdant Skies is definitely the sort of game you'd want to check out if you've loved playing games like Harvest Moon, Staxel and even My Time at Portia. The game isn't too expensive either, considering the hours you can get out of it.
