Big Barn World: Social Farming
Games Like Big Barn World: Social Farming
Plant, grow and harvest a wide variety of crops, and raise a host of cute animals
Work cooperatively with your friends and plant crops in their friend plots
Sell off your harvest directly from your barn and make a huge profit
Available in Google Play and the AppStore, Big Barn World is a truly social farming game that has a cute pixel-art look. It puts a strong emphasis on cooperative gameplay, by allowing players to visit their friends’ farms and plant crops in specially designated plots. You’ll not only be planting, growing and harvesting a variety of crops either; there is a host of cute animals for you to raise too. Sounds like fun? Well, let’s dive in and take a look!
To begin, the game puts you through a tutorial conducted by a character called Melonie. The tutorial is pretty comprehensive and introduces you to everything of significance in the game.
It also helps that the gameplay in Big Barn World is very simple to grasp. Basically, what you need to do is to tap on your plots to keep watering your crops until they are ready for harvest. From time to time, your crops may get a bug infestation which will require you to tap once more to use your bug spray, and if you’re interested to speed up your crops’ growth, then you can choose to use a Fertilizer.
There’s also a cooldown in between each tap that you’ll have to wait through, but that’s generally it! In comparison, planting new crops and harvesting crops can be considered quite bothersome just because you need to tap more than once.
Crops are then sold at a fixed price from the barn. Naturally, the more crops you have, the more money you can earn. The number of crops you harvest is pretty much randomized within a specific range of numbers, but I’ve noticed that crops that are more expensive (and hence, can be sold for more) such as strawberries tend to have lower production rate than cheaper crops like potatoes. Fertilizers do nothing to help improve your yield in spite of what I had initially thought.
Now, as Big Barn World is actually a social farming game, the game provides several “friend plots” that your friends can plant crops in whenever they drop by. Which crop you’d get depends entirely on which special friend seeds they have on hand. Although you will still be in charge of turning those seeds into harvestable crops, the profits from the sale of said crops will be split between you and your friend. This is really fair to say the least since technically, your friend’s the one who shelled out the cost of the seed in the first place.
Aside from friend plots, you will also get to unlock more farm plots as you level up, but if you cannot wait, you can always choose to spend premium cash, Gold, to rent plots via Melonie’s Plot Rentals for 5, 10 or 15 days. As you play, you will also unlock pens where you can raise a limited number of animals. Similar to crops, there are friend pens too.
Another social aspect of the game is its Team feature. Creating one requires premium currency, but if you want to avoid spending real cash in the game, you can always ask around and get an invite to join an existing Team. Members of a team will usually gain a nice array of perks and access to more opportunities for cooperative farming and fishing.
That brings us to our next point, Big Barn World isn’t all farming either! The game has an impressive range of mini-games and features for you to enjoy such as the Fishing Derby, Spin, and numerous collectibles that are dubbed as Blings. You can even get access to the Auction House at level 20!
Big Barn World is a game that you can play entirely without spending a single cent, but if you’d like to show your support – and get something nice in return – you might want to check out the in-app store.
You can purchase piles of premium currency for real cash and each stack of those Gold usually comes with several other freebies like extra Gold. You can then use these Gold to buy a myriad of other stuff, including a membership to the game’s most coveted club, Farmers with Benefits (FWB) club. Being a FWB member brings you a ton of perks, ranging from Farmhands who will do all your farm chores for you to access to special FWB farm plot so you can grow more crops. FWB is a duration-based subscription though, and once your duration runs out, you will lose all the benefits you’ve enjoyed.
So, in short, Big Barn World has a really unique take on the social farming genre, and I do believe that they’ve got a couple of things right. It’s a really nice to allow players to plant crops on their friends’ farms and to split the profits of the harvested crops at the end, for instance. However, the game does have its fair share of glitches and inconveniences that definitely can be improved on. It’s a pretty decent game overall, but if you are not active socially in the game, the game may lose its appeal pretty quickly. Big Barn World: Social Farming Summary
