Description: From the creators of Light Repair Team #4, Fruit for the Village is a game set in the future, in a world torn apart by climate change and war. Out in the desert, small villages struggle to survive in the harsh environment. These villages work towards creating a normal way of life or at least finding a new place they can call home. Follow the story of one of these ordinary villages. Discover the history of the village, its people and your role in this newly devastated world. Be careful though! The villages food supply continually runs and prices rise with each purchase!
You’ll build a thriving garden to feed a starving village in this narrative VR game about a small village, and the fruit you’re growing to ensure its survival. Be careful though! The villages food supply continually decreases and item prices rise with each purchase! Use harvested fruit to enhance your garden’s bounty by buying larger plots and auto-growers to grow fruit for you. Optimize your garden’s production to be able to continually send more food to refill the village’s supply!
Review: No matter how much I tried I just couldn’t get into ‘Fruit for the Village’. It just seems to be some sort of gardening experience in which you use the same two 2 flower pots over and over and the same plants, until you get bored of them. There just isn’t enough variety to get into this game. While there are two game modes to choose from, Story Mode and Survival Mode it is always the same thing. It might only cost £2.09, but you are still better off getting this in a cheap bundle with other games.
