![]() Takakura leaves you with one free cow to give you a jump start, which is also something many farming sims don’t usually do. Your farm has a barn and coop which can hold eight animals to start with, but can later to expanded to double the capacity. ![]() However, something that isn’t restricted by seasons is your farm animals. Seasons in this game last for ten days each, which may seem short, but it ends up being necessary to streamline the farming experience.Ī Wonderful Life splits its gameplay equally between farming and community, to the point where it can be considered more of a life sim than a farming sim. Additionally, crops also have seasonal preferences meaning you can only grow certain crops in certain seasons. However, you can use fertilizer to assist crop growth in any type of soil, so it’s not something you have to worry about if you don’t want to. Your fields have different fertility, which affects how well certain crops will grow in a particular field. One unique mechanic to this game that isn’t very common in other farming sims is Soil Fertility. Your farm starts with two fields, but you will be able to expand and acquire a third one later on. Speaking of cooking and ingredients, the best way to get them is to grow some of your own. You can cook by either using raw ingredients, which may result in discovering new recipes, or by using a recipe that you’ve already learned from the townsfolk or the Nature Sprites. ![]() Lastly, you will also be able to use your kitchen to cook from the get-go. You can save your progress in the diary, go to sleep to skip to the next day, check the photo board to view your in-game photos, flip through the calendar to view any upcoming events and use the TV to check the weather or watch some shows. There are plenty of things you can do in your home as soon as you start the game. And just as he leaves, you are greeted by three mischievous Nature Sprites that will play an important role in one of the game’s many gameplay features.

That’s right, your main goal in this farming sim is not the farming itself, but rather to raise a family of your own and do your best to live, well, a wonderful life.Ī Wonderful Life does not have an overarching narrative. Instead, it puts the onus on you as the player to take care of your farm and ultimately find a partner to marry by the end of your first year in Forgotten Valley. ![]() Once you arrive in Forgotten Valley, Takakura shows you around your new property, before taking you for a tour around town and gifting you a little puppy to accompany you in your new life.īeing a Story of Seasons game, A Wonderful Life does not have an overarching narrative. Unlike most farming sims in which you inherit a farm and move to a secluded town that is overseen by a mayor, in A Wonderful Life you instead inherit your late father’s farm which has been looked after by his old buddy Takakura. Now that the game is finally out, let’s see whether it’s bound to flop just like the previous mainline entry in the Story of Seasons series did. So naturally, when it was announced that the fan-favorite A Wonderful Life was to receive its own remake, fans were cautiously optimistic as it had fairly big shoes to fill. In more recent years, the remake of Friends of Mineral Town was released to great fanfare in 2019 but was followed by a rather disappointing reception to the new and original Pioneers of Olive Town. In fact, it left such a big impression that it not only warranted an enhanced Special Edition, but also an alternate version called Another Wonderful Life that offered a different protagonist and romanceable options.
