Farming simulation games have become a popular sub-genre for many players looking for a more laid-back experience. Franchises like Harvest Moon and Story of Seasons have become mainstays in the gaming industry and modern games like Stardew Valley continue to see critical acclaim. However, the classic genre has recently seen more games looking to break the mold of the traditional farming formula with series like Rune Factory bringing a fantasy spin. During today's Nintendo Direct, Square Enix revealed Harvestella as a farming simulator steeped in the JRPG juggernaut's recognizable style.
