Rune Factory: Frontier vs Verdant Skies
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.
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.
