Innocent Life: A Futuristic Harvest Moon

"Innocent Life is a watered-down Harvest Moon game without the series' trademark depth and charm."

"No Harvest Moon fan should be without this sequel, even if it means buying a handheld you don’t currently have."

"It’s telling that Rising Star Games has opted to bury the Harvest Moon name in Innocent Life’s subheading rather than proudly proclaiming it’s a new instalment in the long-running farm sim series. The only thing that Innocent Life shares with previous Harvest Moon games is the opportunity to grow crops and care for animals. Instead, it focuses on a detailed plot and features gameplay that relies on key story events, rather than your abilities as a farmer and ability to make plenty of cash. This heavy reliance on the story is Innocent Life’s strongest and weakest point because while the tale of a little robot boy who learns to be human is interesting enough, the limitations it forces onto the gameplay is fairly unforgieable and really slows the pace of the game down."
