Harvestella is one of about ninety (haha, jokes) farming sims will release on Switch in the coming months, so naturally Sqaure Enix will be keen to show off more of the game and get the train moving ahead of its official release on November 4.
We’ve already gotten a demo (and be sure to tell us what you think of it!), but Square Enix has now lifted the lid on a bunch of features, focusing on the beautiful summer season and introducing us to a couple of new job classes. , a new location and some delicious food.
First, we take a look at the new seaside town of Shatolla, where residents make a living fishing before heading to the local tavern for drinks and karaoke. We are introduced to a character called ‘Emo’ (no, nothing to do with My Chemical Romance or any other band from that ‘time’), who sing in the tavern to lift the spirits of the local fishermen.
Elsewhere, Square Enix gives us a rundown of two new jobs you can equip on your journey, each offering new abilities and weapons during combat. The first of these is the ‘Mechanical’, who is adept at delivering strong charge attacks to weaken enemies. The latter is called ‘Woglinde’, which allows you to wield magic through song to support your teammates. Remember, recruiting someone with a new job will also allow the protagonist to equip said job!
Finally, we take a look at some of the delicious foods that you will produce during the summer period. These include the Fisherman’s Sandwich, the Hop Juice, the Shrimp and Mushroom Tapas, and the Melted Chocolate Fondant. We are not going to lie, we are getting very hungry right now.
There’s also plenty more where that came from, so be sure to visit Square Enix’s official Harvestella website for more details on the upcoming game.
