Marvelous has announced this morning that the latest Story of Seasons game, Story of Seasons: Pioneers of Olive Town, shipments and digital sales have topped 700,000. Story of Seasons: Pioneers of Olive Town was released on 25th February in Japan, 25th March in North America and today in Europe. Sales are sure to rise with the recent release of the farming life sim in both North America and Europe, so the game is off to a solid start. Here’s the game’s key features:
- Cultivate Your Farm, Cultivate Your Town – Tame the wilderness of the peninsula and build your farm from the ground up! Gather and process materials to fulfill requests and improve Olive Town’s infrastructure, upgrade tools, or commission new outfits and accessories.
- Simple Mechanics, Deep Gameplay – Greenhorn farmers can rest easy with the return of Seedling Mode and Normal Mode. Veteran players ready to create a bustling farm of their own will find familiar features and facilities with new twists on classic gameplay elements.
- A Farm of Endless Possibilities – Clear the land, repair old facilities, and place new ones wherever you see fit. Level up your farming skills and craft a variety of decorations and facilities, from fences and automatic feeders for livestock to sprinklers for crops!
- There’s Always Something Going on in Olive Town! – Participate in local festivals as the town comes to life with over 200 unique events! Get to know your neighbors better and you may even find love with a special someone among them.
Marvelous indeed
Played for a bit, despise a few minor issues like lack of characters portraits and overreliance on “makers” to produce stuff, it still a really good game. Maybe not the top of the series but certainly better than One World.
I don’t know if I should get this game or the remake of Friends of Mineral Town
FoMT is great if you feel like playing something like the classic games. If you’re unsure about Pioneers you could wait for a few patches, they promised some QoL updates in the near future.
POOT it in the trash!!
