Ova Magica – Farming simulation game hatches on Switch in 2022
Early 2022 seems a long way off, but Top Hat Studios is busier than ever with more games on the horizon. Developer ClaudiaTheDev is hard at work on a farming simulation game that allows players to not only customize their farm and home, but also hatch adorable slime-like creatures that can fight in battle and follow you around as you do your daily chores. Check out the trailer at the end of this post, as well as the overview rounded up by Gematsu after the break:
Farming
You can grow crops and fruit trees and take care of your blob animals! Work hard to create your own dream farm! You need good products to produce quality feed for your blobs.
Blobs
Blobs hatch from eggs and it’s up to you to train them!
Unlike other games, you don’t receive experience points after battle. To make your blobs stronger, you must feed them well, pet them, and use specific skills in battles.
Your blobs can also help you with your farm work.
Bachelor(ettes)
You can make friends and build relationships with different characters. Talking, battling, and gifting increases your friendship and unlocks new events, places and more. There are wonderful stories you can experience!
Battle System
Fight against other trainers and wild blobs. Experience a strategic Active Time Battle system with a little twist! Attacks throw you back to the ATB bar and can even cancel your current action. Think carefully when it’s time to defend and when to attack. Also plan to use the right skill type to gain elementary advantages.
Expedition
You can explore dangerous mazes where you can find eggs and rare treasures. These dungeons change every time you enter them! In the end a strong blob boss guards the rare eggs. A tough battle awaits you!
Breeding
Grow stronger and unique blobs! You can crossbreed all blobs!
Create your dream team and become the strongest trainer.
