Nintendo Switch PC Windows

Harvestella combines farming and RPG elements to create a unique and enjoyable experience. You can renovate your land, raise animals, craft, cook, fish, and sell wares all while fighting through large dungeons by switching between your jobs with new abilities. The game features an intriguing story with Final Fantasy-like characters and plot twists. However, there are moments, side quests, and plot arcs that feel extraneous.

  • Relatively few, but large dungeons
