Being the owner of an adorable-looking store could've been a fun little lesson in capitalism. After all, who doesn’t love seeing their hard work rewarded with lots of money and success? Unfortunately, Hometown Story is so wrapped up in clunky mechanics, uneven pacing, and dull gameplay that its heartwarming tale of friendship and finance is lost in a sea of confusion and monotony.
Its charming premise of a young boy or girl returning to a their childhood village to take over grandma’s run-down shop is accompanied by equally charming graphics and music; not surprising, given that Hometown Story is the brainchild of Harvest Moon creator Yoshida Wada. But whereas Harvest Moon has plenty of different ways to keep you occupied, Hometown Story’s gameplay is about one thing and one thing only: maximizing profits.
