We are all so used to blasting zombies and slaying vampires that it actually feels weird to just sit back and take care of them. That is exactly what makes Halloween Farm: Monster Family so ridiculously fun. Instead of grabbing a shotgun, you are grabbing a pitchfork and running a full blown agricultural empire for creepy creatures. You have to figure out how to feed these freaks, water the bizarre fruit trees, and turn a massive profit while doing it.

RUNNING A PROFITABLE CREEPY EMPIRE

Swapping out boring cows and chickens for literal monsters completely changes the standard farming simulator vibe. You are in charge of curating the perfect spooky habitat, planting incredibly weird crops, and raising a herd of beasts that would normally be end level bosses. Once your bizarre harvest is ready, you ship it off to your creepy neighbors to rake in the cash. Earning that local street cred is the fastest way to aggressively expand your massive operation.

BREEDING BEASTS AND MASTERING DARK AGRICULTURE

You can’t just throw some strange seeds in the dirt and hope for the best. To actually build a booming economy, you have to get incredibly strategic about your crops and livestock. You end up taking direct advice from a local witch to figure out exactly which weird plants yield the highest payouts. Breeding your monsters to multiply the herd is a massive part of the daily grind. You constantly have to research strange new farming techniques to keep your production numbers climbing and your monsters happy.

FLIPPING A RUINED GHOST TOWN

You don’t start out with a shiny, ready to go ranch. You are literally dropped into a completely trashed, abandoned town and expected to fix it up from scratch. Renovating the ruined houses and carving out dedicated zones for your spooky crops takes some serious elbow grease. But getting to drop massive, imposing statues right in the middle of your custom landscape makes the grind totally worth it. Pumping your hard earned coins back into buying more land is the absolute best way to max out your crazy monster sanctuary.
