To get right down to it, This is a shallow incomplete game. Filled with good ideas, with just as much bad ideas. As you start off it's pretty much the typical Harvest Moon affair, you get a Farm and you're told you have to raise crops for whatever reason.
The first thing you'll notice about this game is it's beautiful Graphics. Second would be the equally beautiful Music.
As we all know, Game play is what really matters. And that's what this game needs help in. A little further in the game and you'll find that pretty much every character is useless and lacks personality. Your supposed to go get "upgrades" every Sunday which turn-out to be pointless and a worse-er use of your time.
Festivals have returned but now they are unsatisfying, boring, and pretty much a waste of your time. The game itself is pretty much uneventful, nothing happens. You'll find your self having nothing to do but practicing your cooking skills, which is once again pointless.
Early on you'll be given a helper bot which does all of your farm work for you. And since the hole point of Harvest Moon is farming and tending your crops, why is the bot doing it for me?
Maybe they did it so you would have more time searching for jewels. You need jewels in this game to unlock certain doors and vital parts on your farm - Also known as "Seals". This unnecessary twist on the game play prolongs you from being able to have Chickens and Cows on your farm.
They're are other disappointing features in this game like, you can't marry, useless pets, useless people, you're a robot, the list goes on and on people.
What they got right is the huge amount of seeds there are. It goes from Watermelon to Corn to Lemons. Truly impressive.
In the end Innocent Life: A Futuristic Harvest Moon is nothing but a failed attempt at a Handheld Harvest Moon game and a total waste of your time. Please do not do what I did and rent this game.
