Harvest Moon: Magical Melody
About the Game
Harvest Moon: Magical Melody returns to the concept of the original Harvest Moon game, excluding much of the newer features brought into later titles. Returning to the game are full 30 day seasons, festivals, and the top-down look of the originals.
Story & Setting
Next to finding a spouse, the second major quest is saving the goddess.
Gameplay & Core Systems
Multiplayer mini-games are also available to unlock, to play with friends and family. Another feature is the rival system, where an opponent also tries to save the Harvest Goddess, win prizes in festivals, and be the one who ships most items on a daily basis. In the English version, players may eventually even marry their rival, but this ends the game. To do so, players need to reach goals to gather musical notes, to form the titular magic melody.
Standout Features
- Other new features include buying land, placing furniture in players' house, and numerous other things.
Modes & Ways to Play
Player support includes Same/Split-Screen and Free-for-all / One-on-one (VS).
