has a little twist to it.\u00a0 You\u2019ll just have to read on to find out what it is!\u00a0 Tales of Autumn is available on Switch and PC but reviewed on Switch here.<\/p>\n<p>Tales of Autumn starts out like your typical farming game.\u00a0 You arrive to a new town and take over the local ranch.\u00a0 Grow crops, raise animals, talk to townsfolk, put goods in a box to ship to make money, craft items, and much more.\u00a0 Each day lasts about ten minutes in real time so you must plan your time accordingly.\u00a0 The graphics are 16-bit retro styled so fans of the early Harvest Moon games on SNES and GBA may like that.<\/p>\n<p>So what makes Tales of Autumn stand out from other farming sim games?\u00a0 Well it\u2019s in the animals that you raise.\u00a0 Some of the critters you can befriend and take care of are actually mythical creatures like manticores and chimeras!\u00a0 Heck, the first animal you befriend is a jackelope, which is a rabbit with antlers.<\/p>\n<p>I did have a few problems that kept me from being interested.\u00a0 The game is very slow paced and they don\u2019t explain some things to you very well.\u00a0 Like terraforming, they just kind of gloss over that and it seemed pretty important to the gameplay.\u00a0 But if you enjoy farming sims and like cryptid animals, you might want to check this one out anyway.<\/p>\n<p><a
