Like other farm games, you’ll need to plant and harvest a wide variety of crops, raise animals, and turn these farm produce into more profitable goods. There are plenty of ways for you to sell your items, be it to random game characters or even to other players worldwide. You can even dive right into the gold rush that had swept the nation at that time by setting up your own gold mine.Although the gameplay isn't exactly unique, Wild West: New Frontier is able to offer players an entertaining virtual farming experience set in a time when pioneers venture into the untamed lands of the wild west. The social aspect of this game is also very well-designed, encouraging players to work together rather than to play alone. So, if you’re looking for a new farm game to play, Wild West: New Frontier is definitely a game you can try.
