The Magic Farm game coming from game development company Meridian 93 is a Time Management installment about a young entrepreneur with a magical green thumb off to save her beloved parents. While the theme of the story is not entirely new, there may be still something about this game that holds it interesting, and that's what we'll get to see on this review.
The story of the Magic Farm game starts as a young country girl sets off on a quest to find her long lost parents. Hoping to gather some money for her journey, she then starts to do what she does best - planting flowers and selling them for profit. And that sums up also the game's overall objectives.
Half of the mechanics of the Magic Farm game involves you planting flower plants, watering them and keeping them away from pests until they grow blooms for sell. Buy additional equipment to expand your production and gain experience for you to level up your skills in planting. In later parts, you'll also get to have a companion in the form of a little dragon named Robin. Robin can level up his skills too, making him a very valuable ally as the game goes along.
The other half of this game is an RPG-like adventure that involves you talking to people for the further development of the story. The NPC characters in the game present you tasks and quests to accomplish, thus adding more interest to the whole game experience.
The Review
The Magic Farm game consists of a very engaging story line coupled with visually attractive graphics and relaxing music perfect for the game's mood. The game play is very smooth too and you won't have any trouble clicking through the several items during the actual action game.
The presence of the dragon, Robin, is also very convenient. Besides from being a cute little creature, he's also a great help during the frantic Time Management parts of the game. One bit of trivia: Robin Games is actually Meridian 93's casual gaming branch. You think there's a connection between the two? :-)
Anyway, a little bit of downside to the Magic Farm game is that for every town you're character visit, you'll have to start over from scratch into building another farm. While this may annoy you because of the seeming loss of your progress, it's also one way the game introduces you to more plants, more enemies and more profit from your products. I guess, basing on that, it can be quite a good thing too.
All in all, the Magic Farm game is really an engaging game filled with hours and hours of great story line and game play. I had fun playing it and I suggest you try it out too.
