Game Description

Harvest Moon DS: Grand Bazaar is a charming simulation game, part of the well-known Harvest Moon series. Released on the Nintendo DS platform, the game offers a unique blend of farming, farm management, and character relationships in the picturesque setting of Grand Bazaar.

Game Story

Zephyr Town once had a world-famous bazaar, where merchants from distant lands gathered to buy goods from the stalls of the city bazaar. Unfortunately, the bazaar of the past has now fallen into ruin, and very few guests now come for the weekly trade. The player has recently moved to Zephyr Town to take over the rundown farm on the outskirts of the city, and hopefully, with your hard work and efforts, the city bazaar can be revived and become great again.

Gameplay

Harvest Moon DS: Grand Bazaar offers complete freedom in developing the farm. Players must tend to fields, raise animals, plant crops, and trade at the Grand Bazaar to acquire resources and develop their farm. Daily duties include caring for animals, tending crops, as well as building relationships with village residents through conversations and participation in community events.
