Farm Mania Demo

Farms are quite important in today’s society, even if we do not pay so much attention to them anymore. Vast portions of land are occupied by farms, given the fact that the population has grown exponentially in the last few centuries. Naturally, we also got better at it in the meantime, in the sense that we have powerful machines capable of doing most of the work for us.

Farm Mania is a simulator that allows you to see what it takes to take care of a farm, which includes crops and animals. Besides the fact that you have to keep an eye on the harvest and do your best to keep the plants alive and well, the animals need a lot of attention as too. Not only that, but your final goal is to make money, which means that everything must be sold for profit in the end.

In the game, you play the role of Anna, a cheerful girl ready to start her own business. Naturally, she doesn’t know an awful lot about farming, but she can ask for the help of her grandfather. With his guidance, things are much easier, especially because he can also lend a hand every now and again. The story is obviously not important, however, because the gameplay is what matters.

Each animal has a purpose around the farm, although most of them are there to provide you with something to sell at the market. Hence, while chickens give you eggs, cows provide you with milk. Not only that, but these can be processed further into things like butter and cheese, which bring you even more money. Obviously, it takes time to reach that stage, but it is definitely worth the effort.

As far as the technical issues are concerned, everything is as bright as you would expect, especially when it comes to colors and the animations. The animals are nicely drawn and pretty cheerful, as are Anna and her grandpa. Not much effort went into the soundtrack, because it gets repetitive after a while, but it can also fade into the background if you get consumed by the gameplay.

When it’s all said and done, Farm Mania may not be overly original, nor is it packed with wonderful features, but it has what it needs to keep you busy for a while. Hence, if you enjoy farming and you do not mind the repetition, this may be just the thing for you.
