Merge Games have announced the release date for Maple Powered Games’ upcoming farming sim and monster taming RPG, Monster Harvest.
Players plant crops that grow into monsters called Planimals, and can apply various mutations to their crops based on a variety of factors; like seasons and the weather, to create subspecies. Once they are ready to harvest, players can raise and train their Planimals to fight in turn-based battles. In addition to farming, there is also a fully customizable housing system.
You can find the release date trailer below.
Monster Harvest launches May 13th for Windows PC (via Steam), Nintendo Switch, and June 3rd for PlayStation 4, and Xbox One.
