Harvest Havoc is a fun and rowdy multiplayer PvP party game where you play as a budding farmer, competing with other players.
The Gameplay of Harvest Havoc
Harvest Havoc offers a fun gaming experience for 2 to 6 players. As a contender for the title of a master farmer, you need to collect seeds, plant them, harvest their fruits, and sell them. Simultaneously, you’ll need to protect your stock from other players or try to invade and steal from other players. To help you in your life of crime, the game offers fun homemade “weapons” like overgrown vegetables.
Harvest Havoc has three game modes. The classic mode allows you to score more points by selling produce. You can claim land plots where you grow and harvest plants. At the same time, you can steal from other players. The brawl mode has smaller maps and public land plots. Then, we have the blitz mode, again with smaller maps but with automatically grown plants and weapons.
Each mode has a different selection of maps, and they have a nice variety: a farm, a beehive, frosty fields, a clock tower, and so on. There is also an option for the game to choose the map randomly.
Harvest Havoc has different options for multiplayer: you can play by teams or free for all. The multiplayer connection can be done by internet or LAN. You can also choose to join or host a game. If you decide to host, you have a variety of settings to ensure a fun gaming experience. You can select the game mode, length if you allow stealing from plots, availability of fertilizers, etc. You can also set up a password on your game for extra security.
A Colorful Mayhem
The world of Harvest Havoc is colorful and fun. The models of the plants and the animals are cute and rounded. The soundtrack fits well with the overall arcade feeling of the game. We can choose between several unique animal avatars, chickens, cows, etc. They are all delightfully rounded and perfect for jumping and pushing other players.
Some Side Notes
Harvest Havoc has yet to get Trading cards and Steam achievements. In terms of settings, it has general audio and graphics settings. It also has a complete list of all commands using a keyboard or a gamepad. An exciting part is the game settings; you can turn an outline on and off for each player, which helps with visibility. You can also choose if you want the names of other players to be visible, how much a plant is worth, and so on.
Conclusion
Harvest Havoc can be a hilariously busy and chaotic farm-themed battle royal. The servers are empty now, but you can connect with friends easily. I am always looking for good online games to play with friends around the globe, and Harvest Havoc fits the bill nicely.
Final Verdict: I Like it a Lot.
