Here are some of my favorite farming games currently available, or coming soon, for the different consoles.
It seems that these days new farming games are coming out left and right. And because most single-person or small-team indie groups tend to build their games on PC, we get a lot of these awesome farming games on PC first. Compared to ten years ago, Steam is overflowing with farming games! Sometimes they come to console later, but some will remain exclusive forever.
But there is good news for everyone who has a preference for console gaming, or who doesn’t have a game-worthy PC right now. Weâve put together a satisfyingly large list of farming games that are either already available on console, or are confirmed to be coming to console at a later time.
Here are some console games that contain farming, growing or gardening mechanics, and they are all available on at least one dedicated gaming machine that is currently still in production. But they are not all in the same genre, and the emphasis placed on farming is different in each game, so these lists represent a variety.
I hope youâll spot some of your favorites here, and maybe even have a few more to tell me about, so we can continue to make this list longer and longer.

Time for a super magical iteration of the myPotatoGames Best Cute Games series!!
There is never a short supply of endlessly cute games out there, especially ones that contain a magical element in some way, shape or for. Be it crafting potions, learning spells, taming beasts, flying on broomsticks; you can be darned sure that there is always something amazing to do in a world where nothing is impossible! Use the powers inside you to change the world for good, or bring it to its knees before you, it is usually up to you. Well, here are a few games that let you experience first hand the day to day life of your average (or excellent) witch or wizard.
Serin Fate
In Serin Fate you play as a Witch and therefore you are in possession of some magical powers. As you begin playing the game you will start learning new spells that can help you on your journey. The small development team behind the game states that inspiration was taken from games such as âPokemon, Harvest Moon, Runescape, and Chrono Trigger.â Serin Fate offers a wide variety of tasks that remind me a lot of Fantasy Life that also offers a wide variety of things to do. In this game however, you can freely choose where youâd like to dedicate your focus and time towards to. Feel like crafting some new armor to protect yourself on your next adventure? or maybe instead build some furniture to restore your hut? The choice is always yours. (more info)
Little Witch Academia: Chamber of Time
For those unfamiliar with Little Witch Academia, entries to the series take place at Luna Nova Academy, a school for witches in training. The protagonist of the franchise is Akko, an optimistic and energetic (albeit slightly impulsive) Japanese girl who comes from a non-magical background. In my opinion, this is similar to the various Harry Potter characters that come from a Muggle family. Chamber of Time offers players the ability to uncover the various mysteries of Luna Nova Academy. The game features the lovable protagonist Akko, as well as a variety of her friends. Players can explore dungeons, cast spells and use various magic to discover the seven wonders, as well as to resolve the mysterious time-shit that has occurred. (more info)
Spellcaster University
In Spellcaster University, you take on the role of the director of a magic university in a heroic fantasy world. Build your school, manage your budget, recruit teachers. Will you make it a high place of black magic, with the best necromancy and demonology teachers? Or a school in harmony with nature to train druids and shamans? Or why not train adventurous mages, offering them options to learn how to fight and be discreet? But this will require surviving the ruthless attacks of the orc tribes and the controls of the education authorities. (more info)
Potion Paws
Potions Paws is created by the developers of Garden Paws; Bitten Toast Games. Itâs a shorter standalone game with a spooky theme that includes potion-crafting and dungeon-crawling.

We backed this project right away and wanted to point at that the higher tiers will include a pet black cat with a cape! See below for a summary of the Kickstarter page. (more info)
Alchemy Garden
You can also explore the huge land surrounding your home and go down deep in the woods to cut down some trees, should you be in need of some lumber. Alchemy Garden also invites you to decorate the outside of your house so unleash your creativity and create your very own magical little hideout. Besides the busy lifestyle of running and Potion Shop, making magic and more, you need a little place to call your home. You will start out with a small house to yourself.

Examples include: monthly quests during âMystery Timeâ, dates with other students, the ability to form a band, getting to prank others (and be pranked), plus many more amusing quirks. (more info)

However, wanting to create a game that would appeal to everyone, she also included creatures such as lizards, birds, deer, raccoons, dogs, turtles, red pandas, foxes, etc. She then shares about how she wanted to publish a game that would make players feel âsoft, happy, cuddly and cozyâ. If that wasnât wholesome enough, she has said in an interview that she just wanted to create a game where the only goal is to have the best time possible. (more info)

These mechanics enhance itâs variety of characters and story development. Itâs creator has said that the games art style was influenced by a plethora of games such as Paper Mario, Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga, Earthbound (Witchbrook, Starbound, Earthbound, Warbound, everything-bound!), and Robotrek. The game also takes inspiration from fictional teen series such as Harry Potter and Carry On. (more info)
Little Witch in the Woods
In case you missed it, Little Witch in the Woods is an upcoming adorable indie game about living the life of a little witch that resides in the forest. Brew potions, resource ingredients, make friends and just enjoy your magical life in this beautiful world. The developers recently invited myPotatoGames to check out their game at the Busan Indie Connect Festival, and you can bet your bottom dollar that there is a demo review coming very soon. Until then, we have been given permission to share some new details that the developers have released for the festival. (more info)
Witchbrook
Witchbrook has been in development for some time now. The game created by Chucklefish, the previous publisher of Stardew Valley, revealed a brand new look for the game today! For anyone who may not have heard about Witchbrook yet, in this game the player will take on the role of a student inside a magic school, something a Harry Potter fan might be familiar with. During the course of the studies, players will be on a path to discovering who they really are. (more info)
Potionomics
Potionomics is a magical potions simulator and role playing game created by Voracious Games with the help of Atomhawk with digital art and designing. The developers have mentioned that they were inspired by shop-management game Recettear, and that the focus of Potionomics is on the business side of potion brewing. Potionomics is still in development but will be releasing on PC âsoon-ishâ. Potion brewing is as much a science as it is an art. Master your craft while learning new recipes along the way! As every aspiring entrepreneur knows; customers will be fickle, competition will be fierce, and prices never stay stable. Add in some magic and you have a recipe for a magnificent adventure unlike any youâve ever played before. (more info)
Witchery Academy
Witchery Academy is a fantasy life role playing game where you must complete tasks in a school for witches and wizards. Learn all the ins and outs of the magical world; like potion making and learning an array of spells. You will also have to do some garden tending, to make sure your horticulture skills stay sharp. Plant, grow and harvest all sorts of delicious goodies right at school. You will have to leave the building and explore the surrounding area to meet other students, and do a little questing. (more info).
Arclands
In Arclands, you will take on the role of wizard who has been booted from his hometown due to a disagreement with the ruling party. You are sent to the Arclands, a series of islands inhabited by ghastly ghoulies. It is up to you to help the inhabitants of the land to build a structurally sound city to help protect everyone from the would-be destroyers! The command of magical elements has been a long standing cornerstone in the RPG genre, and will play a big part in the world of Arclands. The baddies that were mentioned before happen to be attracted to beings of magic, so that will certainly add its own level of difficulty to the game. (more info)
Story Arcana
StoryArcana is a magic school role-playing game where you take on the role of Clay Quilt, an adventurous young lad that has been transported to an all new world. This world is called Vox, and comes complete with a magic school, as well as a bustling city full of interesting folks to meet. Clay must now explore the school, the city and the world around him to discover why he is here, and find a place for himself in this new environment. To do so, he will need to make friends and learn the ways of magic so that he may truly be a part of this enchanted universe. (more info)
Enchanted Portals
If you enjoy platform games like Cuphead and Leilaniâs Island, then I think youâll also dig Enchanted Portals. Platformers are always a great escape from the bigger games that can sometimes overcomplicate things. In the game, you play as a team of two rookie magicians who have been trapped between two dimensions. Your lack of knowledge in regards to magic is what gets you trapped in the first place, weâll see how it helps you get out! You will have to fight some crazy and whimsical bosses to find all the pages of your magic book. Once assembled, the book will give you the ability to return home. A simple yet enthralling story that I canât wait to enjoy. (more info)
Alchemy Story
Ever since weâve played an early demo of Alchemy Story, we have been keeping close tabs on all of ĂloĂŻse Larocheâs updates via Steam on this adorable farming simulation game. These new additions include: more villagers and their cute animal forms, mining and fishing, farm expansions, the Market, and our personal favorite feature; character outfit and hairstyle customization. Now you can play the most recent version of Alchemy Story on Steam Early Access right here starting today (August 22nd, 2019)! We here at myPotatoGames canât wait to delve deeper into this magical and whimsical world and free the spellbound villagers from their curse. See below for a list of the newest features as well as the most updated trailer. (more info)
A Hat in Time
A Hat in Time is a very cute 3D adventure platformer featuring a little girl in a big top hat, known simply as âHat Kidâ. Hat Kidâs goal is easy to sympathize with: she wants to get home. But as she is on her way there, the Mafia of a nearby planet attack her ship when she wonât pay their âtollâ. All of her shipâs fuel (magical hourglasses called âTime Piecesâ) is scattered to the world below. She must gather them all up before she can resume her journey. Looks like sheâll need to look pretty hard! (more info)

Fantasy Life Online is the follow up game to the popular 3DS game.
The Fantasy Life franchise holds a special place in many players hearts. The 3DS game released back in 2014 packed so much content that to date fans are replaying the adorable simulation and RPG game.
I still find myself picking up my dusty Nintendo 3DS just to check back in and do some quests to help out my villagers. Even though the game celebrated a massive success a sequel was never released.
However, Level-5 has not put the franchise to rest, even though it may look like this here in the West. Back in 2018 a spiritual successor was released in Japan.
Fantasy Life Online was born
Fantasy Life Online as the name suggest lets you connect your gaming experience with friends from all around the world. You are able to share your village with friends. Simply explore the beautiful 3D world with your companions and even trade tools you crafted or obtained through a quest.
The entire game is connected to the internet so that you can share your world with your friends or random players if you choose. It is a pretty neat idea that works well for a game like this. It is just fun to have friends join you exploring the world, take on challenges together and then trade equipment.
New but still the same – become whoever you want to be
Even though Fantasy Life Online is always connected to the internet you still have the charm and feature rich game you come to expect from a Fantasy Life game.
There are a whooping twelve jobs you can choose from, no matter if you want to be an archer, a chef, a blacksmith or any other of the many profession you can pick.
If you become a fisherman you will be faced with different challenges and quests, as if you would if you choose to become the owner of the village bakery. Whatever you want to be in Fantasy Life Online, there will always be plenty of activities to do every single day.
The only difference here is that your experience can now be shared with friends in a greater way that the original 3DS game would allow you to do.
Village Building
There is a big focus on Village Building in Fantasy Life Online. Not only will you be able to adjust and change the look and feel of your very own town, but you can also place buildings and decorate the area to your liking.Â
Your adventure and quests in the game will change depending on the buildings you construct in your town. Furthermore you will be able to invite your friends to your village, to trade and exchange items. You can also team up to go exploring and adventuring together. Your friends will also be able to help you advance your town faster.
Home Sweet Home
Similar to Animal Crossing, you will be able to build and decorate your own home. If you chose the right occupation you may even be able to craft your very own furniture, that is if you collect the materials needed!
But if you arenât feeling so handy, then you can still purchase and chose from a variety of different furniture and items to make your house a home.
Fantasy Life Online Western Release
The game has been available on iOS and Android since July 2018 in Japan. The title is still getting frequent content update catering to the huge community that has formed around the game.
Level-5 has not made an official announcement in regards to a western release of the game. But the company has made big moves to release many of their game in the west like the Snack World – especially on Nintendo Switch.
There is still hope that the game will be released in Europe, US and Australia in the future. I have reached out to Level-5 to see if they have any information to share.
You may still download the game on iOS and Android however the language may be Japanese only. Lets just hope for a new Fantasy Life game, perhaps on Switch or even a western port of this adorable mobile version.
