  • A rather boring game

    Disappointing, I should say, compare to the 3DS version. All you need to do is purchase items from merchants, then put them on the shelves, and wait your consumers to come and buy those stuff, such brainless cycle continues. According to someone's saying that the NPCs may have their own story, but come on, your fingers will be too busy take care of your store to talk to any of the NPC. In a word, boring!
  • Great game... For a different device. Nothing but a buggy, failed iOS port.

    The game itself is fairly good, and considering it's truly free, a rarity in the iOS columns, it would normally be a 4 star game. However, the awkward controls knock this back to 2 stars for me, as it was clearly ported over from a control scheme with multiple buttons for multiple controls. The camera movement always selects something instead and the square it selects when you're trying to select is usually about 1 square away from where your finger is actually touching the screen. This frustration and removal of a plot from the original HTS makes it nothing more than a failed, buggy iOS port.
  • Love it

    I love playing it,100% would recommend.
  • This game is amazing

    Personally one of the best natsume games on iOS I've played I have all harvest moon games on all consoles one of the best series I've played can't wait for harvest moon lost valley
    Anyways I also wish you could go out of your shop like the 3ds version probably in a later update. But it is iOS so anyways a great game but keep in mind there is micro transactions only if you want to get more stuff from the merchants. BEST GAME EVER!!!!
  • Favorite shop game ever! <3

    Of course I love all of natsume games! This game is a game I was hoping for since it's also a 3ds game. The controls work and everything seems perfect. The only thing that made me a bit disappointed is that some of the items disappear from the the seller people. Now there's one lady who sells just fish and ONLY fish. And I don't think they will sell anymore ores and stuff. But overall I enjoy the game ^_^
  • Addictive, but..

    Over time the merchants stop selling certain items. :(
  • A great game!

    I never played the 3DS version but I'm sure it was a lot of fun too! This game is really fun and addicting. The controls are a bit confusing but it's easy to get the hang of it. A really fun mini game.
  • LOVE IT

    I love this game so much... I've been playing NATSUME games nearly my entire life and this one doesn't fail to disappoint, even on a mobile phone platform! I would love to see NATSUME develop a Harvest Moon for IOS, but until then, I'll keep replaying this game over and over ;)
  • Best game game ever

    I love this game so much... Nvr disaponted in waiting this game...i hope to see harvest moon in the future...and there is a little problem about the controlling part...maybe its good to have just point at the correct place instead of placing your finger a few sec than the position of the point part is misplaced...if you know what i mean... Anyway i still give you a 5 star cause i love your game keep it up
  • Better than .....

    It's way better than the 3ds version at least now I just run the store. It can get better but it's good so far.
