Gameplay

Gameplay is similar to that of the Story of Seasons series or Shepherd's Crossing.

Funky Barn received mixed reviews upon release; the Wii U version currently holds a rating of 50/100 on Metacritic and a 50.83% on GameRankings, based on 10 and 12 reviews, respectively. The 3DS version received similar reception, holding a 55% on Game Rankings based on 2 reviews.
