As with previous Doraemon games, you can’t marry in Doraemon Story of Seasons. While the game incorporates elements from the previous stories, there’s no such feature as marriage. Developers say that they’re concentrating on the game’s lifestyle components, and a marriage mechanic would ruin the game’s experience. However, developers do plan to introduce a new feature in the near future.

No romance or marriage system
While Doraemon: Story of Seasons is an update of the original story, it still remains a little too old school for many gamers. It does however balance the social aspects of its predecessor with its newer, updated mechanics. Its vast map and wide array of customization options make it easier to recommend to new players. While it lacks the romance or marriage system of its predecessor, its charms make it a great choice for newcomers.
While it’s disappointing to know that there won’t be any romance or marriage system in Doraemon: Story of Seasons will never include a romance system or a traditional marriage system, there are plenty of reasons to enjoy this game. Its story beats are chock full of Doraemon cheese and pomp, with family-friendly themes and a fun cast of characters.
Slower gameplay style
The newest addition to the celebrated Doraemon series is a slow-paced RPG, and while it’s priced a little higher than previous games in the series, the visuals are gorgeous. While its slower gameplay style will put some older players off, it will appeal to newcomers. The game also features a beautiful Doraemon skin. This game is an ideal choice for fans of the franchise and the Harvest Moon franchise.
The game plays well on PS4, with controls that feel smooth and responsive. Loading screens are relatively fast. There are no noticeable framerate drops, glitches, or crashes. The characters are cute, too, with some witty one-liners to help keep you entertained. Overall, I would recommend playing this game if you’re an anime fan, because the characters are adorable and have a lot of heart.
Similarity to Back to Nature
The Doraemon Story of Seasons game is based on the popular anime of the same name. The game follows the adventures of the titular characters, as well as that of his lovable kitty, Nobita. It follows his farming activities in Natura, as he ploughs the fields, plants crops, and even captures bugs and animals. There are also several interactive characters and items that allow players to customize their farm. It also features the same futuristic gadgets that have made the Doraemon series so popular.
Unlike the original game, Doraemon Story of Seasons is more focused on building memories and reinvesting your earnings. While farming games typically revolve around making money and reinvesting it, this one is all about enjoying the moment. It’s available for Nintendo Switch and PlayStation 4, as well as Windows PC via Steam. For those who aren’t fond of anime, the game may be worth a try.
Lack of gadgets
The lack of gadgets in the first season of Doraemon Story of Seasons is a problem for this game. Though the plot is still quite simple, this series is very popular in Japan. The premise is that Doraemon is sent from the future to improve the trajectory of the Nobi lineage. As his master, Nobita Nobi, sends him on adventures, but he loses his iconic gadgets in the process. The only way to get back to his home world is to collect all the gadgets that are missing from the past and collect them.
While there is no shortage of cute activities in this game, they are mostly repetitive. The game takes more than an hour to complete. Then, you’re interrupted for tutorials, which make it impossible to progress without interruption. In addition, the story of seasons is not particularly deep and the characters become boring and monotonous. You can’t expect much from Doraemon or his friends at this point, and the game’s progression is slow and unrewarding.
