Innocent Life: A Futuristic Harvest Moon

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

"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."
