If you like other Hm games you will like this one. It adds something else to do along with the farming.

It is a lot like other harvest moon games, It does add fighting and it actually has a story, unlike other harvest moon games. I find that it kept me more addicted to it more than other Harvest moon games because of the fighting system. It adds something to do other than farm and fish. The fighting is pretty hard in the beginning, you will only end up being able to kill one or two monster per trip. Later on the fighting is a breeze, the bosses are simple and you don't have to have much of a strategy, you just run up to it and slice till one of you dies. One of my favorite additions is farming in the caves so you can grow crops that take 100 days to mature. Money comes easy in this game, and there is only one house expansion. The house expansion is hard to get, but if i could change the game i would have made more expansions at a little lower cost. There is no ending so when you beat all of the caves you can still grow crops, but you will soon find yourself bored after the ending.
