Due to the withering that ravaged the worlds of Alaria, much of the map will be inaccessible due to the rot. As the w orlds we restore in the Eternal Tree grow, we will in turn unlock new areas with which to expand what was once our humble village.

The sweetness of the home

One of the most notable parts of Grow: Song of Evertree is, without a doubt, its artistic section. The style of your characters cartoon He is very cheerful and his color palette is vibrant. Where it presents itself best in the design of its scenarios, vegetation and certain effects, such as those of water, are very well achieved. It also has a very attractive lighting system, perhaps at an excessive time indoors, but pleasant at all times.

On the other hand, technically the game doesn’t perform very well. The frame rate drops somewhat steeply more often than I would have liked. Sometimes without excessive graphic stress. The game is fully translated into Castilian, yes, with some notable printing errors.

As for the sound, the game does not have any type of dubbing, it will only communicate with us through lines of text. Ultimately, showcase the awesome soundtrack from Grow: Song of Evertree, in addition to its sound effects, some of which look suspiciously similar to those of Zelda: Breath of the Wild.

In general, I think he respects everything that is offered fairly well. At the management / simulation game level, Grow: Song of Evertree provides us with a good amount of content with which to evolve our worlds while developing our new community. While it is true that at specific times it can be somewhat repetitive, I think played at a light pace, it will be a title that will stay entertaining for a good handful of hours.

On the artistic level, we find a very beautiful world to take care of, which asks to be appreciated in a rhythm a little more contemplative. With the exception of some technical performance issues, I think it looks pretty good overall. Of course, the soundtrack will be the one that will make us appreciate the routine chores that we will have to perform on a daily basis at Alaria.

Anyway, if you’re in love with the genre, I’m sure you should give it a try. A game that came out at a reduced price and can offer a good balance between investment and fun for a few hours.
