The next installment of the popular game, in which we play the role of the owner of a farm taking over the legacy of a famous predecessor.
Prepared by Marvelous Interactive studio, the production is based on classic solutions used in the Harvest Moon series and adds a few novelties. The main element is the title bazaar.
Grand Bazaar allows you to play the role of a new host, who takes over the farm after the deceased predecessor. At the same time, the hero shoulders the duty of restoring glory to the popular position in the city bazaar, which was so perfectly managed by the precursor.
As in many other Harvest Moon titles, players have to sow, harvest crops, fight weeds, breed pigs and take part in the life of the town. The last point is additionally developed in comparison to other projects in the series, because it allows you to manage the position on the local bazaar. Once a week players have to work at the marketplace building their reputation and selling various goods to visitors. It is also important to answer visitors' questions in order to gain respect. Once a year there are festivals on various occasions, which allow you to win unique items.
In Grand Bazaar, you can get married to the opposite sex and start a family. There is also the option of converting the offered products, for example grapes into wine, in order to achieve greater profits. The title uses the capabilities of the Nintendo console and allows you to intuitively manage the crops on the touch screen and influence the quality of work of the processing plant or mills by blowing into the microphone or rhythmic knocking on the screen.
