The game has two difficulty levels - Normal / Veteran Mode (dedicated to players who already have some experience with this series) and Seedling Mode (it is a proposition for newcomers - it makes everything about 30% cheaper and the stamina of the main character is decreasing 50% slower).

Technical aspects

Story of Seasons: Pioneers of Olive Town features a pretty, three-dimensional graphic design. Graphics is not very advanced in terms of technology, but the characteristic, manga artistic style (thanks to pastel colours it can be associated with games from Pokemon or Animal Crossing series) makes the game look decent.
