5 Best Harvest Moon Games You Should Play at Least Once in Your Life

Harvest Moon is one of the most popular farming simulation games and much loved by many players around the world until now. 

Starting from children to adults would love to play this game for hours because the concept is pretty simple and famous for its rural background.

Many Harvest Moon series has been released, but there are some that deserve to be the best compared to the others. Therefore, right now we will choose...

5 Best Harvest Moon Games You Should Play

Here's the list...

5. Harvest Moon: Save The Homeland

Harvest Moon: Save The Homeland is a very revolutionary Harvest Moon in terms of graphics. Playing as Jack or you can call him Toy due to his cap, we are required to complete a repeated mission in a year to save the village. This is coupled with being unable to marry and have children.

That is very unfortunate from this series, but in terms of gameplay and graphics, this Harvest Moon can be even better. Even so, This was one of the Harvest Moon games that I loved before other better series comes out.

4. Harvest Moon: Animal Parade

In Harvest Moon: Animal Parade, you are required to restore the tree in the middle of the Harvest Goddess pond that is beginning to weaken. Otherwise, many plants will die and the animals around begin to leave.

Players are required to plant many crops and ring the five bells to invite the Harvest King back. So he can restore the tree in the middle of the Harvest Goddess pond and save the village.

In addition to completing a quest, of course, you will also be able to get married and have children. However, the character design is quite strange, I am not really like it. About the graphics I don't doubt it, it's beautiful, almost the same as Harvest Moon: Tree of Tranquility.

But, the best thing about Animal Parade is you can raise lots of animals that can't be cared in any Harvest Moon games.

3. Harvest Moon: Hero of Leaf Valley

Harvest Moon: Hero of Leaf Valley is a remake of Moon: Save The Homeland. This is very visible from the similarity of some events and characters in the game itself.

Few things that not available in HM: STH are added in HM: HoLV, such as we can get married, complete the events without having to repeat from the beginning of the year, and more events.

Unlike the other Harvest Moon games, the purpose of HM: HoLV is very clear, that is to save the village which will be destroyed by the Funland company.

The availability of the option to marry the Harvest Goddess (Marina) also makes it very special. But unfortunately, you can't have a child in this series.

Harvest Moon: Hero of Leaf Valley also known as the hardest harvest moon of all time, because it's very difficult to complete all the event endings without reading the walkthrough

2. Harvest Moon: Back to Nature

If you were born in the 90s, maybe this was what made you really love Harvest Moon. This was also the best series of its time.

In my country, even now, the name still exists because there are a group of creative people who create 'Hoax' Harvest Moon: Back to Nature images just for fun.

Although the graphics and gameplay are arguably old (please understand that because it was released in 1999), but there are many secrets and mysteries you can discover in HM: BTN.

And the important thing is we can get married and have a child. It may also make many players love it until now.

But I think, some players will choose Harvest Moon: Friend of Mineral Town because it's a better version of Back to Nature.

1. Harvest Moon: A Wonderful Life

The last Harvest Moon worthy of being the best is Harvest Moon A Wonderful Life. Besides having many features, this game also has many secrets. This Harvest Moon is very different from other series because the game is very similar to real life.

You can get married and have children. Your child can also help you take care of the farm when he's grown. And the most interesting feature is you can get old and die.

Unfortunately, the presence of this game on PS2 made it received criticism from some players because this game runs quite slowly. But don't worry, you will get a better experience if you play it on PS4.

For you, fans of farming simulation games, I recommend you to play this series. I guarantee you will not regret it if you are already a little familiar with this game.

That's 5 Best Harvest Moon Games You Should Play, maybe there're many other Harvest Moon series that are also good but I don't mention above, such as Harvest Moon: Magical Melody, A New Beginning, DS, A Tale of Two Towns, etc.
