Instead of removing the popular aspects of farming role-playing games that attracted so many fans since Harvest Moon first released in 1996, Marvelous Inc. expands on and adds to them. With smoother farming, a generous map to explore, lots of customisation options as well as adding a safari and (an) addictive economics system, Marvelous Inc. delivers a marvellous game which will hopefully be the first Story of Seasons instalment of many more to come."

Pioneers of Olive Town has some striking differences that expand upon gameplay, but also several subtler alterations that make it just that bit smoother to play.
