Big Farm: Mobile Harvest vs Monster Harvest
Big Farm: Mobile Harvest
Big Farm: Mobile Harvest is a brand-new, mobile-based farm simulation game developed by Goodgame Studios, the very people behind the successful farm sim, Big Farm. In this game, your Uncle George has willed you his old and pretty rundown farm and it is now up to you to bring the place back to its former glory and maybe turn it into a more successful business! There are plenty of crops for you to plant and harvest, and a variety of farm animals to rear. There is even a crafting aspect in place for you to turn all of those raw produce you get into more profitable goods.Being a simulation game, you'll get to decorate your farm as well. Big Farm: Mobile Harvest also follows in the footsteps of Farmville games by being pretty social. You can team up with your fellow virtual farmers in cooperatives where you can better support each other. To keep things interesting for players all year round, the game even provides exciting events for you to participate in!
Big Farm has always been the best farm simulation game from Goodgame and they have definitely upped their game in developing Big Farm: Mobile Harvest. The game is so much more entertaining to play and it is well-optimized for a wide range of mobile devices too. So, if you're looking for a farm game for your phone or tablet, this is the game to get!
Monster Harvest
Monster Harvest is a very promising game that features a refreshing blend of monster-collecting and farming simulation. In this game, you grow various “pocket monsters” called Planimals at your farm and bring them to the local rec center to test your mettle or the dungeon to gather special materials. You'll get to develop both your farm and your skills as a Planimal trainer.If you love farming sims and collecting Pokemon - or any other types of pocket monsters really, then Monster Harvest is the game for you! The game features the very interesting premise of turning your crops into battle pets, and how you “slime” them will result in different kinds of pets with varying power. There’s even a roguelite dungeon and a gym for you to test your mettle at and, in the case of the dungeon, gather special resources for upgrades.
The sad thing is Monster Harvest is woefully early access and a work-in-progress. The game still has some pretty massive bugs and pending content (such as the empty-feeling “festival”), though none of them are completely game-breaking. In the worst case, you’ll just have to restart the game, though some players have reported corrupted saved games where all their planimals stored in the pen went missing.
Due to this, I’d not recommend getting the game right now. If you’re really interested, try the free demo and wishlist the game to keep an eye on it. Once the bugs are squashed to a more manageable level and some more features and content are added, then you might want to splurge and grab the game.
