Animal Crossing: Happy Home Designer vs Rune Factory: A Fantasy Harvest Moon
Animal Crossing: Happy Home Designer
Animal Crossing: Happy Home Designer is a nice spin-off game from the usual town-management that had defined the Animal Crossing series. Instead of managing an entire town, you'll get to show off your sense of style as you get to design and decorate the homes - both inside and out - of all of your favorite Animal Crossing villagers. You can even decorate public buildings in your town including schools and hospitals. With the new amiibo feature, you can even tap on your amiibo cards to invite the characters to hang out with you in the game.If you can't get enough of Animal Crossing, then you'll definitely enjoy this amazing spin-off. It provides you with the same nice casual fun that you'd get from playing another game from the series.
Rune Factory: A Fantasy Harvest Moon
Rune Factory: A Fantasy Harvest Moon is the first of a series of successful, Harvest Moon-like farm simulation/RPG with a unique fantasy theme. Awaken with absolutely no memory of who you are and how you got there, you've decided to set up a life for yourself by establishing a farm with the help of a young lady, Mist. Like most farm simulation games, you'll need to plant, grow and harvest a variety of crops; and raise animals but in this game, you can even fish and battle monsters and beasts. However, it might be best to simple befriend these monsters so they'd help you around the farm.Rune Factory also has a robust character progression system where you can improve your skills with the sword, spear or farm tools simply by using them. You can even make friends with some of the NPCs in the game and fall in love.
This game follows in the footsteps of the popular anime farm simulation game, Harvest Moon, and yet managed to bring its own flavor to the overall gameplay, making this game incredibly unique and addictive to fans of the genre. If you like what you've read so far, well, Rune Factory might just be the game you seek!
