Angelus Victor said: After being teased for many years, Farmagia, a project from Marvelous in conjuction with none other than the creator of Fairy Tail and Edens Zero, is here.
Marvelous is no stranger to trying out new ideas, as they did with the release of Silent Hope, so what happens when you get the Story of Seasons developer and combine it with the creative mind of Hiro Mashima?
VGChartz's Evan Norris: "In Farmagia, developer Marvelous throws a lot of mechanics at the wall to see what will stick. Somewhat surprisingly, many of them do. Yes, the game suffers from some flaws — the story overstays its welcome, the dungeons are tedious, and the farming element is a tad underdeveloped — but it's difficult to dislike. The characters are affable, the Pikmin-style combat is flashy and fun, and there’s just enough tactical depth to keep the whole thing afloat. In the end, Farmagia isn’t a must-play game, but it’s a perfectly fine way to pass the time."
Travis Bruno of Capsule Computers writes:
"Anyone familiar with Marvelous has likely played either their Story of Seasons or Rune Factory titles through the years so when the company announced that they were working on a new type of farming game that would be a combination of an action RPG with farming on the side, it sounded like a very interesting evolution for the company. Combine this with the fact that they were working with Hiro Mashima, the creator of Fairy Tail and Edens Zero, to design the characters and monsters and this unique blend seems like it has all the potential to take off as something truly special. However, sometimes too many elements can water things down, so does Farmagia manage to hold itself together with all these components combined?"
