Shepherd’s Crossing for the Nintendo Switch
The Switch version of Shepherd’s Crossing will include several features exclusive to the console. For one, the game will feature the option to switch to a pixel display and the ability to change to a 6x zoom out. The upcoming release is described as follows:
Players are entrusted with a single box garden (ranch), which they use to raise animals and crops. There is no money, and animals and crops are bartered. Although a main storyline exists, the ultimate goal is entirely up to the player. “Shepherd’s Crossing” is such a different kind of boxyard ranch simulation that pursues the fun of increasing what you want and creating the landscape of your choice. Less than 20 years have passed since the original “Shepherd’s Crossing. Now, “Shepherd’s Crossing” is back with a variety of new elements.
