Harvestella is Square Enix's endearing first attempt at a farming sim RPG, only slightly held back by its budget.

Square Enix and Live Wire took to the fields for Harvestella. An ambitious story sticks the landing with a thoroughly engaging gameplay loop for one of this year's bigger surprises.

In almost every genre, the most innovative and charming games come from indie developers. RPGs, metroidvanias, and basically everything that isn’t a AAA

Harvestella feels like a farm sim made for people who like traditional RPGs, or maybe you could position it as a traditional RPG for people who like farm sims. Either way works. It’s a unique balance that is rocky at times but won me over more often than not. This is a game with a lot of heart that I kept wanting to explore even with its messier aspects. If you’re looking for a farm sim mixed with a JRPG or a JRPG mixed with a farm sim, this is perfect for you. And if you go into it with the right mindset, you’ll enjoy the relaxing stroll of this world and its gameplay.

The year 2022 will be marked as a year where Square Enix decided to release a metric crap ton of titles, most of them completely devoid of a marketing campaign. In the past, those stealth drops were “reserved” to duds like The Quiet Man or Left Alive, but it feels like most titles released this year had little to no marketing backing whatsoever, regardless of their quality. One of them, to me, is Harvestella. When it first came out, I didn’t even notice it. Very few people did. But cons...

Harvestella cultivates its characters and story, but other mechanics aren't quite as ripe.

6.75/10

Harvestella wants to be a jack of two trades, but winds up a master of none. Part action-RPG, part farming/life simulation, this combination can sometimes be enjoyable, but the two styles clash more often than not. The result is a sluggish grind more likely to repel fans of each genre than bring them together.

Harvestella doesn’t commit to either of its central mechanics enough to really be considered fun.
