Product description

A new game based on the Japanese PopoloCrois Story comic book series, and a new entry in the wildly successful Bokujo Monogatari farming and life simulation series, now known as STORY OF SEASONS in the West. It features classically-styled turn-based combat and towns full of lively and interesting NPCs who contribute to a heartwarming narrative that veterans or newcomers to either franchise can enjoy. Ample farming and life simulation elements such as crop-raising, bug-catching, rock quarrying, item synthesis and more round out the experience.

Eh, it's okay.

It took me a while to get into this game. It was extremely tedious at the start. The random encounters were far too frequent until I fiddled around with the options and changed the encounter setting to low. Do that, or you'll want to chuck your DS across the room because you can't move more than five feet without fighting. Also, hang on until you get "fairy dust" and can warp from area to area, it makes the whole ordeal less painful.

That all being said, this is definitely not my favorite game. It's sugary sweet and cute, I enjoy the voice acting (even if some of the girl voices make me shudder), the battling is SUPER simple... I don't think I've ever even come close to dying and the story is pretty generic but entertaining. What interested me in this game was the Story of Seasons in the title. I was expecting some Harvest Moon brainchild like Rune Factory. (Rune Factory 4 is a freaking awesome game, although I thought farming and raising monsters should have been better.) Farming in Return to Popolo Crois is incredibly clunky, without real merit and has very little impact on the progression of the game. Oh, and the animals! They just STAND THERE in the barn. One of my pet peeves about this game was not being able to play as a girl. I was kind of hoping you could choose between Narcia and Pietro, but alas, it was not meant to be.

It's not a BAD game. It is cute and kids might find it more engrossing than I did. I guess I was expecting something more akin to Rune Factory. It's fun, but the replay value on this game is pretty low for me. I'm going to finish it up and shelf it.

Charming RPG with Farming Elements

Reviewed in the United States on April 16, 2016

Verified Purchase

‘Return to Popolocrois’ is a sequel to the PSP game, ‘Popolocrois’. The game takes place a few years later, which is summarized at the beginning. Make no mistake, despite being label as “A Story of Seasons fairytale,” the game does not really go with that franchise. This is a strategy-turn based RPG. So, if you are looking for that, you will be slightly disappointed. However, if you are a RPG-fan, you might find the game entertaining despite it. The storytelling was good and was really interesting. Predictable but entertaining. That was why I kept with it. You are Prince Pietro and you’ve just celebrated your birthday. But the celebration is overshadowed by the fact that the kingdom of Popolocrois is being invaded by dark monsters. A beautiful emissary arrives to help. Or maybe not. Instead of helping your country, she brings her evil lord to destroy your homeland. To ensure her success, she sends Pietro and his companions to her home world. Before Pietro can go home and save Popolocrois, he must save Galariland and his cursed friends.

This is a strategy-turn based dungeon crawling RPG. For the strategy part, your characters and the enemies are on a field. Each character has a certain distance they can go and there is a grid to tell where you can place them. Getting behind and besides an enemy does make a slight difference. Not a huge advantage but it does dole out a little bit more damage. There is random battles. Battles can occur in the world map and in the gardens. Just so you now, you will be doing a lot of walking and backtracking. There is an option where you can adjust the encounter rate. Random encounters do happen a lot, despite this. So, I recommend keeping it low. You will still meet enough enemies to level up appropriately. Also, there is an option to adjust the difficulty level. I was going at it as the Prince level but changed it half way to King (the hardest level). If you are an experience gamer, King would give you a more challenge. Prince was a little too easy. I was breezing through. Also, King level allows you to get better drops. I actually appreciate these functions. It can be changed at any time during the game. You don’t really travel between worlds. You are at one place or another, until after you finish the game.

Is it similar to Rune Factory? After finally playing one, I don’t really think so. Yes, there are lots of questing and a farming simulation. While in Galariland, there are 4 farms that belong to you. You can grow plants, harvest bugs, own cows, chickens and alpacas, and mine for minerals. It was a little inconvenient when you had to run back and forth when you are in dungeons. But farming was a great way to earn cash. However, you don’t really need cash though. I ended up synthesizing the best items. There is no romancing since Pietro already has a steady girlfriend. You do talk and give presents to 6 other girls, but it is pretty one-sided. So, don’t buy this game thinking it is a Rune Factory spin-off. It is not.

The music is good. Very catchy when you are playing but easily forgettable. The artwork is cute. The characters are in chibi-form and are 3D sprites. The graphics are per usual. I had no issues with load times or the game crashing. The game was easy to understand without needing a guide. The game is pretty linear and easy to know where you need to go. Reading is a must. There is some voice acting but not for all dialogue. And it is possible to achieve 100% for the completionists.

The only reason I bought this game was I thought it would be a good introduction to the Harvest Game series. It was but it wasn’t. I liked it. Is it an instant favorite? Not really but I had a good time playing it. I wished they fleshed out the plot more though. The plot was good but lack depth. I finished the main story at 35 hours and I already spent another 5 hours on extras. So, if you are an RPG fan, you should pick it up at a decent price. Don’t play full price. It’s not worth it. For other people, I wouldn’t recommend. It was a nice mellow game to pass the time.

Farming worse than Story of Seasons?

Reviewed in the United States on March 14, 2016

Verified Purchase

Can't really call it a "Story of Seasons" or "Harvest Moon" game really... The farming in this game not only takes a backseat to the RPG element (which btw is NOT classic turn based, it also incorporates movement. The best example I can really describe it as is a somewhat smoother version of Quest 64's battle system, just a bit smoother and easier to mess up because it doesn't confirm with you for some things like moving and not acting... oh and for some skills you can't move at all to use them.) Now this isn't too much of a problem really, but it's rather insulting that it's called "Story of Seasons" when the farming mechanics are clunky and it's not as smooth as any recent Harvest Moon game... or Story of Seasons for that matter. The best I can describe the art style is that it's sort of like Fantasy Life. Now I've had some fun with this game, but the farming is just clunky, something I don't expect from a Story of Seasons game, and the RPG element is a bit bit grindy too. Anyhow if you're looking for a good Harvest Moon game or (Action) RPG, try Rune Factory 4. Its farming and combat is smoother, it's just an action RPG rather than a turn based one.

Good game. I was hoping for a bit more farming detail in the game instead of just planting, watering and leaving it there. You don't even take care of the farm animals either. I love all the Harvest Moon games but wanted a good RPG storyline along with it. This is kind of a mix of both just the farming sucks. The audio is half there so that's kind of weird that they only speak half sentences and you read the rest yourself. Overall though I liked it. Short game.

Good game. I was hoping for more of a Rune Factory style game, but this is more of a traditional JRPG style. Yes there are farming aspects, but they are pretty downplayed and you really don't have to do them. Fun cute story that would be good for kids (as long as they can read). Not really difficult. Overall a great game, just not exactly what I was hoping for.
