Olive Town‘s progression loop places a heavy emphasis on the use of Makers, machines you put ingredients into to make items that can be sold, crafted, cooked, or inserted into other Makers. The only way I could make progress of any kind was to dive head-first into the game’s expansive crafting system. I know the elements threw farmers curveballs in past titles, but the way nature regrows and stifles progression here is almost aggressive.
Trees grow at an alarming rate, rocks appear everywhere, weeds fill my farmland, and puddles show up whether there was rain or not. I had a small garden outside my house, sure, but most of the early days were spent trying to get ahead of what nature threw at me. What was most surprising to me about Pioneers of Olive Town is that for the first year or so of my time on the farm, growing crops was the least of my concerns. But that’s the name of the game, and to its credit, the flora is ready for a fight. I almost feel bad for even trying to rebuild the farm because I’m going to have to decimate an ecosystem to do it. Whatever your grandfather built all those years ago has been reclaimed by nature, and a forest now stands where his fields were once laid. Unlike what we’ve seen in past Story of Season titles, the farm in Pioneers of Olive Town isn’t rundown it’s nonexistent. The only thing standing in your way is the quick passage of time, a low stamina meter, and a fickle-beast known as Mother Nature. He’s no longer with us, but there are those in town who remember him fondly and have high hopes for you to get his old farm back up and running. The titular Olive Town was founded years before by your character’s grandfather, who set up the local farm you’re about to take over. Like the many Story of Seasons of yore, Pioneers of Olive Town starts with an escape from the city to a more laidback life in the country.
