This cute farming game comes from the old Xbox arcade indie game library and has been revamped into its on game now years later. I played this long ago when it was formerly known as Avatar Farm Online and still made by the publishers Milkstone Studios.
The game play of Farm Together consists of you, the farmer, to build and expand your farm. Harvest crops, trees, flowers and animals to earn money and resources and sell those resources to make gems to by decorations and other buildings. You can play with friends, on your own or, if you have a spare controller you can play split screen. Driving around in your tractor looking at all that you have built is an accomplishing sight. Going online to public farms is interesting to see what other people have done with the various landscapes.
The mechanics of the game consist of planting crops, trees, flowers waiting out their timer which can be sped up by watering them except trees and once harvested they will grant you experience, gold and resource. Gold can be used to buy more of the harvestable items. The experience goes toward your character for cosmetics, such as pets, clothes, hats, tractors and more. Harvestable items also have levels where they scale the crops value. Farm experience is used to unlock more crops that yield more experience and gold. There are seasons in the game that limit the player of planting crops and flowers, while looping the harvest for trees. There are quests that give the player more gold and experience along with medals which can be used to buy more unique buildings that can change how the game is played such as the farmhand that tends to crops automatically in a set area.
The aesthetic of this games is a cute cartoon graphic that is accompanied by smooth animations with three different camera angles to play the game at. Bright colours all around no many textures but some to make the environment pop more. There is no animation for using the tractor but has a jump that indicates an action. Trees swaying in the winds of autumn and jumping to indicate a harvest gives this games the 'cutesy' charm.
The environment of this game shows large fields surrounded in stonewall with the occasional hill and elevations that allow for some diversity in the world. Small lakes and ponds are dotted around in the unlockable areas gives the world more character. Items that are left in the unlockable areas gives the feeling that the might have been things left around for the farmer to continue their journey as a farmer. Other than all this the player makes their own environment with the various selection of different decorations that are available.
The progression of this game is quite faint. There is no apparent story to the game apart from some of the sample text from the quests. It feels like that you are getting money to get more money. You do get more decorations for your farm and different animals ect. But other than that there are a few achievements that you can go and get which gives this game a solid purpose.
In conclusion I feel that this game is a brilliant purchase if you are into the slow grind of getting everything to make you place something that represents you. There is a sense of fulfilment when playing this game when harvesting a large crop creeping your wealth more and more. If you are looking for a casual farming experience this game is brilliant for that especially from this Spanish studio, Milkstone Studios. From the time of writing this there as been an early access release for a sequel to this game and I look forward to playing it and seeing what it grows into.
