    I do think that Maple Powered Games is on to something here with Monster Harvest. Its mishmash of systems accomplishes, for the most part, what they were trying to do – this is undeniable. Just be forewarned that under nearly every rock, and within the leaves of all those trees, there will sit a bug waiting to suck the entertainment out of it. And what you get out of Monster Harvest will vary depending on how willing you are to put up with that. Still, there’s a lot to enjoy here, and if you’re a fan of Stardew Valley or Pokemon, you owe it to yourself to check this one out.

    This review contains spoilers, click full review link to view. On the switch its fine enough. Im always a sucker for stardew valley type games, and then to add a pokemon, monster collection element, I mean that's the best of both worlds to me. Unfortunately i have too many problems to continue playing. There are so many bugs in the game that its hard to even move in the map without running into a bug. From the mounts showing up in the dungeon to having to pay for the mount attachment for the barn 3 seperate times to the enemy not dying despite being in the negative numbers, i cant in good faith give this game a good score. I just hope they casn release a patch for the game so i can finally start enjoying the game. Full Review »

    Played for one day. Now it won’t load my save file. Just returns to main menu. Tried force restart and redownload. Absolutely chock fullPlayed for one day. Now it won’t load my save file. Just returns to main menu. Tried force restart and redownload. Absolutely chock full of bugs. Awful, just awful. Nintendo have to start refunding these broken poor state releases or I’m done risking any day one purchases. The dev has some serious work to do here. I’ll check for patches in a month.

    This should not have been released.

The storyline can entertain entertainingly and so can the tasks. Thanks to the numerous options and characters, there is a lot of play. The controls will also be fine once a few bugs are fixed, hopefully soon. You should wait for our opinion, but if the problems are fixed, Monster Harvest is a really interesting game from this genre.
