Manchester, UK, August 4, 2021 – Merge Games and Maple Powered Games have announced that Monster Harvest, the upcoming farming sim meets critter collecter adventure, will need a few more weeks of polish to harvest its potential. The tough decision has moved the release back to August 31st on Steam, Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One.

A note from the team follows:

We know you’ll be disappointed and we do not take these decisions lightly. There was one final development hurdle to jump over that didn’t quite work out and pushing back a little was necessary to deliver exactly what we want players to experience. There’s a wonderful community that has sprouted up around Monster Harvest and we absolutely want to do right by the community, even when it means making what could be a disappointing decision.

The Steam demo is still there and available to play! Your progress in the demo will carry over to the full game, though you may want to consider starting fresh and taking advantage of any improvements and fixes added by that point.

Thank you so much for the continued support and your patience as we make sure Planimal Point is ready for your arrival!

About Monster Harvest

Monster Harvest is a pixelated farming simulator with a twist! You will find yourself starting a new life in Planimal Point, ready to develop your own farm, customize your house, craft your own furniture and make delicious jams. What’s more, you can even mutate your crops to create loyal and fierce companions to take into battle!

During the journey through Planimal Point, you will discover strange Slimes which can mutate your crops in ways they would never have imagined! Depending on the season, the Slime, or the crop you mutate, you will be able to create up to 72 different mutations!

Some crops will mutate into Planimals who are loyal mutated crops that stay by your side through thick and thin. They’ll be a key companion as you adventure across Planimal Point, taking part in thrilling turn-based battles and exploring dungeons as you try to bring down the evil SlimeCo.

WitchSpring3 Re:Fine – The Story of Eirudy is a standalone game and can be enjoyed even if you haven’t played the previous parts of the WitchSpring series. It can best be described as an ‘attention grabbing’ RPG offering what many fans of the genre would require plus a lot more. A strong storyline complemented with interesting characters ensures the player is totally immersed in a compelling adventure that is superbly supplemented with famous Japan voice actors.

The player assumes the guise of a reclusive witch Eirudy, who lives with her dolls, in the Misty Forest. Outside of this safe haven witches are feared by humans. A chance meeting with an adventurous young man, called Adrian, begins a story, deciding the fate of the deities and humans of the continent Derkarr.

Vitality is the spice of life

In WitchSpring3 Re:Fine – The Story of Eirudy, dolls are of central importance to Eirudy, if not indispensable. By defeating monsters, Eirudy absorbs vitality into her soul stone to bring her dolls to life. With her companions to stand by her, the brave witch faces every enemy in her way.

As the game progresses, Eirudy’s collection of puppet companions grows, each coming with individual abilities to aid her in battle. Using, understanding and summoning these dolls is one aspect of mastering this expansive RPG!

• Customisable Magic System
• Turn Based Battles
• Different Story Paths
• Multi Language Support
• Superb Crafting System
• Unique Atmosphere
• A Lovable Protagonist
• Individual Characters that develop and evolve
• Fabulous Soundtrack

A classic tale of good versus evil, where balancing your decisions, understanding the enemies’ weaknesses and their powers all have a determining factor on your success. Respawning, ascertaining when to challenge and when to retreat as you move through some perilous regions are many of the surprising, interesting and in some cases deadly decisions to be made.
