Harvest Moon: The Lost Valley and Skytree Village Are Now on Mobile

Harvest Moon publisher Natsume has released mobile versions of The Lost Valley and Skytree Village, bringing both farming sims to iOS and Android. Both are one-time purchases priced at $9.99 each, discounted to $7.99 until August 11, 2026.

These are mobile ports of the Switch versions that launched in July 2025 as part of Natsume’s "Cozy Bundle," which were themselves remasters of the original 3DS titles. Its DLCs, included at no extra cost in the mobile release. Controls have been adapted for touchscreens, with an on-screen joystick for movement and context-sensitive buttons appearing on the right side of the screen.

What Sets Lost Valley and Skytree Village Apart

Both games share the same idea of terraforming the land, farming, and building relationships with marriageable villagers, so the real differences come down to scale and polish. The Lost Valley confines players to a home area and the surrounding valley with no proper town to visit, while Skytree Village opens up a full town populated with residents.

The terraforming systems themselves also aren’t equal, The Lost Valley requires reshaping land one block at a time, which many players found slow. Skytree addressed that directly, letting players hold down a button to expand their selection from one block up to nine at once, making large terrain changes significantly faster. Character models were also reworked for Skytree Village, moving away from The Lost Valley’s chibi, cartoonish designs toward more conventionally proportioned character art.

The Lost Valley strands players in a snowbound valley after a storm, tasked with restoring all four seasons with help from Harvest Sprites, the Harvest Goddess, and the King of the Underworld. According to Natsume, the game includes:

 ⚫︎ Crop planting and animal raising, including cows, chickens, and sheep
 ⚫︎ Full land customization
 ⚫︎ Unlockable potential for all seven Harvest Sprites, the Harvest Goddess, and Harvest God
 ⚫︎ Relationship-building with a full cast of marriage candidates

Across its 3DS-era DLCs, The Lost Valley added two marriageable candidates, Luke a herbalist, and Andrea, a clocksmith, along with new crops, recipes, flowers, and character customization options carried into this mobile release. The Lost Valley is available now for $9.99 (currently $7.99) on the App Store and Google Play.

Skytree Village instead centers on a full town, tasking players with reviving seven Skytrees to restore the fading Harvest Goddess's power. Per Natsume, it includes:

 ⚫︎ A completely new story with a new cast of characters
 ⚫︎ Full land terraforming
 ⚫︎ New crops and flowers
 ⚫︎ Expanded fishing mechanics, including new waterways and rarer fish
 ⚫︎ A full town of residents, each with unique personalities

Its DLCs added two marriageable candidates, Edmon, a grand mage, and Nova, along with a separate pack featuring a Harvest Sprite Statue and Harvest Goddess Pergola. Skytree Village is available now for $9.99 (currently $7.99) on the App Store and Google Play.

Both Games Received Mixed Critical Reception

Critical reception for the original 3DS releases was mixed: The Lost Valley holds a 46 on Metacritic and Skytree Village a 59, with reviewers at the time generally finding both a step down from the mainline Story of Seasons games Marvelous developed. The same criticisms may apply on both the mobile and Switch ports as neither have major changes to the base game. The next mainline entry in the series, Echoes of Teradea, is set to arrive September 24.

Also Available On Switch

The Switch version bundles both games on one cartridge for $39.99. Buying both separately on mobile costs $19.98 at full price, or $15.98 during the current launch sale, roughly half the cost of the Switch release for the same two games and the same included DLC. The mobile version also lets players try both games without owning a Switch or 3DS, which the console releases don't offer.

Harvest Moon: The Lost Valley and Skytree Village are available now on iOS and Android for $9.99 each ($7.99 through August 11, 2026), and remain available on Nintendo 3DS and Nintendo Switch.
