About
Looking for a fresh start and some new surroundings, you set off on a voyage to begin your new life! Unfortunately, the weather has different plans, as your ship is hit by a storm, and goes down! You drift into a small harbor town, now in shambles from the storm, where a young doctor named Jeanne saves your life. The town has been deserted, but you're never one to back down from a challenge! It will be up to you to help rebuild the town and save the lighthouse...but it won't be easy!
Nevertheless, with some hard work growing crops, tending livestock, and gathering materials for repairs, you will be able to make new friends, start a family, revive the lighthouse, and save the town, your new home!

Critic reviews
- TheXboxHub8.0For a game that requires only 800MB of space, there is a lot of game here. For those that have missed their Harvest Moon gameplay fix over the years, or for newcomers to the series as it makes its full debut on Xbox consoles, Harvest Moon: Light of Hope Special Edition Complete is a very good place to start. It might not quite reach the lofty heights of previous entries but it contains most of what has made the series so successful over the years.
- Switch Player6.0Slow-paced, full of grinding and quite ugly, this Harvest Moon isn’t for everyone. If you enjoy the genre you’ll get something, but others won’t have the patience.
- Game Reactor6.0In the end, it's the creative freedom offered to players that Harvest Moon: A Light of Hope does best, although at the same time the amount of fun you get from working on the farm is limited. Knowing that there are other, more popular games (such as Hay Day and Stardew Valley) based on very much the same concept, it's hard to see how Harvest Moon: A Light of Hope will hold much appeal to anyone other than the biggest fans of the series.
- Video Chums6.4Harvest Moon: Light of Hope brings the core Harvest Moon concepts to the table but it doesn't do anything more than that. The lack of item variety and multiple missing gameplay elements really shows. It's still addictive but not a worthy successor to the franchise.
- Vandal6.0El aspecto gráfico del juego es uno de sus puntos más débiles ya sea en los escenarios, en el nivel de detalle de los personajes o en las animaciones. La variedad en los diseños es nula, la originalidad brilla por su ausencia, se repiten los mismos árboles, las mismas piedras y las mismas malas hierbas hasta el infinito.
