Some time ago I picked up on this game that’s going to be released in Japan in two weeks time. You will find a little background here, and some Famitsu scans of the game screens here. It looked interesting, being a cross between and RPG and sort of Harvest Moon gameplay. Today I saw that the game is confirmed now too for Western release this next winter! Now that is good news. As I intend to get the game on June 18 when its released in the Japanese eShop, I will tell you all about this gaming goodness!
This is from the press release:
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, Return to PopoloCrois: A STORY OF SEASONS Fairytale features both classically-styled turn-based combat and towns full of lively and interesting NPCs who contribute to a heartwarming narrative about friendship, forgiveness and the bounty of the earth that veterans and newcomers alike to either franchise can enjoy equally. Ample farming and life simulation elements are also on offer in this comprehensive crossover, including real-time crop-raising, bug-catching, rock-quarrying, item synthesis, and relationship forging. Players can collect over 600 items and undertake nearly 100 quests throughout the game, supplementing its 25+ hour main story with nearly unlimited potential for replayability. StreetPass™ features are also present, allowing players to connect with one another and earn bonus items through treasure-hunting.
