Rune Factory: Frontier vs Stardew Valley
Rune Factory: Frontier
Rune Factory: Frontier sends you to the frontier town of Trampoli where you are expected to set up your very own virtual farm. Desiogned for the Wii console, you can literally do everything in the game simply by using your Wii remote and nunchuk (classic controllers are compatible as well), be it tilling the land, fighting monsters or fishing. The game has a much improved interaction system where your interactions and relationships, including romantic ones, feel a lot more life-like than usual, adding the rare EQ element to the gameplay.Unlike the previous games, you don't need to recruit monsters or townsfolk to maintain your farm for you. Due to the game's dynamic ecosystem, symbiotic creatures called Runeys will help hasten the growth time and quality of the plants you produce. And of course, there are plenty of dungeons for you to dive into, monsters to fight, and rare items to loot.
Rune Factory: Frontier is a pretty entertaining game overall, especially if you've enjoyed any of their previous or later games, and is definitely worth your time and money.
Stardew Valley
Stardew Valley is an indie farm simulation/RPG that had surprisingly become popular mainly because of the beautiful pixel art, its heartwarming storyline and of its fun yet relaxing gameplay. In this game, you've inherited your grandfather's old farm in Stardew Valley, a place that was previously vibrant with life is gradually being worn-down since Joja corporation brought its Joja Mart chain to town. However, you saw the potential that this Valley has and are determined to restore it to what it could be - greatness... or you could just sell out and supply the Joja corporation with your produce... it's completely your call!Like most farm simulation games, you'll need to plant, grow and harvest a wide variety of crops as well as raise a plethora of farm animals. There are plenty of useful machines that you can restore and use to hasten your day-to-day, farm life routine. Interestingly though, being an RPG, you'll also get to mine for minerals, fight enemies, fish for... well, fishes and go foraging in the wild. These skills can be leveled up with use and as you progress, you can even unlock new recipes, places to explore and even pick up a profession or two. The best part though is that the game has some of the most interesting characters in a farm sim, some of whom you can eventually date and marry. You can also decorate your virtual home and customize the appearance of your avatar.
Stardew Valley reminds many of the game, Harvest Moon, and they aren't wrong. The game seems to build on the best parts of the latter and add in acouple of its own unique twists too. This is the sort of game that gamers, regardless of which type you are, will be able to enjoy.
