You’re able to play it on big screen no problem, as you can control a cursor with your left stick, pointing it on any item available on the scenario, and grabbing items using the A button. The way you interact with your garden shows how much of a handheld experience Plantera Deluxe is. In addition, some pesky creatures such as wolves and crows will appear from time to time, and you must dispatch them to keep your production safe. The catch is that you can help on every task to make everything faster – items will be gathered automatically, but you can get them as soon as they’re maturated, so a new one will start being produced right away. This is a very strange design choice, in fact, because with this Plantera Deluxe can pretty much play itself. You also have at your disposition some blue creatures that will automatically help you, picking up any item available on the ground. At first, you have limited space, but each ‘slot’ can hold three different category of plants: crops, brushes and trees – not to mention the animals that you can let roaming through your garden.Īfter being placed on one of these areas, crops, vegetables and fruits will grow naturally with time, and animals will produce their related item. It doesn’t take long, though, for you to harvest them, get some money, and progressively expand the size and complexity of the garden.
You start modestly, with only enough money to plant some carrots. The game is all about growing your garden within a 2D side-scrolling perspective. With a very condensed scope, that’s exactly what Plantera Deluxe is. It isn’t surprising that other titles would try to deliver a similar experience, more centered on this kind of rewarding loop. Growing your farm on Harvest Moon or Stardew Valley, for instance, is rewarding due to the feeling that your hard work pays off as continuous improvements for your little simulated country life.
Some games manage to encapsulate the experience of gardening in a pleasurable and relaxing way.
