It more or less just focuses on being the same style of game which is adopting the classic “if it works for others, it’ll work for us” mentality. In terms of gameplay, it really doesn’t do anything different to separate itself from other life simulators out there on the market, like the aforementioned Animal Crossing or Harvest Moon. Right?Īll jokes aside and more straight to the point, Castaway Paradise is not a very original game. Unless… unless it’s a different game than Animal Crossing… but that’s just silly, it plays and feels just like it! It has to be a sequel or a reboot of some sort, right?. Sure, I can understand the appeal of wanting to try something Blue Harvest style to keep the project under wraps, but to release the game with the secret name itself maybe wasn’t the smartest move.

Full disclosure, I haven’t played an Animal Crossing game in years, but the thought of reviewing the latest installment in the franchise was too exciting to pass up! Although, not to criticize too much, but I’m not sure if I agree with the naming process the developers went with in calling the title Castaway Paradise. I have to say, this is a really weird feeling for me.

#Castaway paradise complete edition series

The similarities to the much loved Animal Crossing series are obvious throughout the entire game and while that’s great for fans of the series it would have been nice to see the game craft its own identity rather than playing it safe to appeal to a particular niche audience. Each of these side activities is packed full of detail with each having a collect them all approach (such as catching all butterflies or fish). Outside of questing for characters the game is a sandbox experience with activities ranging from bug catching, fishing, farming, playing the stock market, customising your own house and dressing up your character in all sorts of outfits. Characters include the mischievous Angus who likes to sabotage others, Gustave who runs the local cooking show, Francis that wants to be at sea, Amelia who eats bugs and Stevie a new villager that loves the outdoors. Many of these quests will also improve the island from repairing a bridge to planting trees your island will quickly become your own virtual paradise another clear inspiration from the Animal Crossing franchise. Castaway Paradise packs in well over a hundred of these quests that range from simple to more long winded affairs involving multiple steps and help build relationships with the various characters. This is the core focus of Castaway Paradise with these quests of helping the inhabitants providing ample hours of game content and challenge. After some brief tutorial orientated missions handed to you from Viktoria you’ll be given more freedom of the island where players can begin to explore, take on quests from the various villager characters on the island. She’ll ask you if you want to play as a boy or girl with no customisation available at this point (although there is plenty available later on in the game for players that want to deck out their character).
