Once you have enough materials, you can construct buildings such as chicken coops and barns so you can begin to raise livestock and gather the wool, eggs, or milk your animals produce. You start out with a large farm where you can plant and harvest crops and gather materials such as wood and stone. You start as a young boy in Forget-Me-Not Valley, and after a brief introduction, you're dropped on a farm and left to do what you please.

But they can't do it alone they need your help to revive the goddess by raising crops, falling in love, starting a family, and generally being a productive all-around citizen. Together the witch and the helpful harvest sprites have to bring back the Harvest Goddess. Something goes wrong, though, and instead of simply silencing the Harvest Goddess, the spell sends her to another dimension. It turns out that the Harvest Goddess and the Witch Princess have an antagonistic relationship, so one day the witch decides to put a spell on the Harvest Goddess to shut her up. Life on the farm isn't difficult.or exciting.Īs if raising robust livestock and sweet, golden ears of corn weren't enough reason to be a farmer, Harvest Moon DS attempts to ply you with a story of sorts. For newcomers to the farming life, Harvest Moon DS is as good a place to start as any, although it doesn't measure up to other DS games in terms of presentation and noteworthy features. If you're a dedicated fan of the series, that might sound great, but it's difficult to justify the price of a new game when there isn't anything significantly 'new' about it. These shortcomings aside, it's still very much the same old farm, with the same characters, the same crops, and the same animals. The game makes very slight use of the unique features of the DS and doesn't look any better than the previous Harvest Moon game did on the Game Boy Advance. However, it doesn't feel like much of a jump. Natsume's long-running series of Harvest Moon games has made the jump to the dual-screen handheld. Now there's another virtual profession on the list: farmer. You can be a surgeon, a trial attorney, a chef, and much more.
