Harvest Moon: The Lost Valley is a farm simulation role-playing game developed by Tabot, Inc. for the Nintendo 3DS. It was released in North America on November 4, 2014, in Europe on June 19, 2015 and in Australia on June 20, 2015.
Unlike previous titles in the Story of Seasons series, called Harvest Moon in the Western markets, the game was not developed by Japanese developer Marvelous. Their newest entry in the Story of Seasons series is being published in North America and Europe by Xseed Games. Natsume owns the rights to the "Harvest Moon" brand in those territories.[2]
Development[]
The game was first announced during E3 2014 by Natsume.[3][4]
Gameplay[]
Players are able to modify their home such as expanding it and moving items around on the inside of their home, though the player's home cannot be moved from its original place. Players can also modify their world, including terrain elevations and building locations. Players are also able to get married, have a child, buy pets and help villagers with requests.
Reception[]
| Aggregator | Score |
|---|---|
| Metacritic | 46/100[5] |
With an average of 46/100 on Metacritic, The Lost Valley has received a negative reception among critics.[5] Due to Natsume making their own "Harvest Moon" and keeping the rights to the Harvest Moon name when Marvelous decided to have their own American division, Xseed Games, take over North American distribution, the latest title in the series had to change its name to Story of Seasons while Natsume took the opportunity to start games starting with Harvest Moon: The Lost Valley. This has caused some degree of confusion.
