Disappointed

I NEVER buy games but I bit the bullet for this game. I used to play it on my son’s systems for years and I thought it would be just like that. I played for a bit but the more I played, the more I didn’t like it. I was playing this game on an iPad and it is just not the same. The instructions are not written for use on an iPad. It has gotten to the point where I can’t do anything but take care of my animals, do some harvesting and planting before the day runs out. I can’t figure out how to acquire materials, make my bag larger, fish and other things. It’s so frustrated that I spent $18.00 on something that I can’t enjoy. Never again.

You cannot get rid of the kid

To start; it keeps glitching when I close out of storing something in the fridge or cabinet and freezes until I completely close out and restart the app, losing the entire day if I don’t remember to save. Tried reporting it but the customer service button on the homepage doesn’t work so…here I am. The game isn’t fun enough to keep having to play the same day over and over or constantly make sure I’m saving my progress. As for the game itself, it’s average. The days go by really fast which is frustrating when I have a task I *have* to complete but a blessing when I don’t because there’s not a lot of variety when it comes to actual things to do. You take care of animals, plant crops, fish, and mine. It gets old fast. Also, in order to advance to the end of the game (that comes quicker than you’d think), you HAVE to develop a romantic interest and get married. After you get married and the game “ends” you can continue in a free play mode BUT YOU GET PREGNANT. It’s not optional. And there’s no option for getting rid of the kid. That’s where I’ve stopped playing twice now and I think this last time will be my final time unless some big changes are made to the gameplay. Thanks for being a time killer that ended in disappointment. It was decent while it lasted.

Needs Save option other than sleeping

Day 8, already took care of crops and gifted villagers, foraged and my game crashes and I can only load from when I woke up. Little bit angry about the money spent. Was fun until now

Spiel lässt sich nicht starten

Ich hab es runtergeladen, ich konnte es auch öffnen und Geschlecht und Aussehen auswählen, doch dann fängt es an zu laden und stürzt ab. Das ist sehr ärgerlich, denn ich würde des sehr gerne spielen, ich hab dieses Spiel geliebt, früher regelmäßig auf dem Nintendo DS gespielt. Meine Software ist auf dem aktuellen Stand. Ich hab mein IPad schon neu gestartet, Spiel gelöscht und wieder neu heruntergeladen. Was kann ich tun?

Super endlich auf Deutsch

Ich hätte mir gerne die anderen Harvest Moon Spiele auch gekauft. Allerdings kann man diese am IPhone nur auf Englisch spielen, wie ich gelesen habe. Dieses Spiel hier ist wirklich super es ist auf Deutsch und macht auch wirklich Spaß. Ich hätte mir nur gewünscht, dass es vielleicht noch mehr Game Place in den Beziehungen gegeben hätte aber hat mich im Großen und Ganzen trotzdem sehr gefreut.

Ich habe eine PlayStation und werde mir daher auch noch ein Spiel für die PlayStation kaufen. Ich hab damals das erste Mal habe ich nur auf einem Nintendo DS gespielt.
