Lastly, you can also enjoy the different seasons I’m writing this in Autumn, and I agree with the game that it’s “the most amazing season of the year.” All this sounds familiar, and there are even more comparable elements. You can even collect and donate a variety of fish and insects to Blathers’, I mean Harold’s museum. Besides animal chatting, you can customize your village, accessorize yourself, and work on your green thumb. that there are many similarities between this game and Animal Crossing. The length of conversations can vary, as does the animal’s friendliness, but chatting will soon give way to gameplay such as fetch quests. Chit-chatting with them doesn’t add to any overall story per se, but there are some interesting topics for discussion. Once the tutorial ends, you can start meeting (and helping) the island residents (all animals). Let’s clean up first! Nice to meet you…now get to work! The mayor puts you to work immediately, asking you to pick up litter, which doesn’t make for the most charming intros. Being covered in kelp is a mildly clever way of concealing if you’re a boy or a girl until you select it. A storm marrons you on a tropical island. But there’s also the question of how this game will fare for those without AC experience. It’s partly why I agreed to take on Castaway Paradise, hoping it could capture some of that magic so to speak. Even spinoffs like amiibo Festival and Happy Home Designer (the latter whose poster graces my home office) charmed me. I’ve been hooked from Wild World on the DS to recent mainline entries like New Leaf and New Horizons. To be clear, I’m writing this review as a fan of Nintendo’s social sim. Castaway Paradise can’t surpass AC, but can it come close to matching it, offering a fun alternative? A good example - with Switch representation - is Arkanoid’s emulation of Breakout. ![]() A curmudgeonly critter’s caution.Ī good clone doesn’t just try to imitate its source material it tries to match or surpass it. Indeed, the publisher says they are “Inspired by Nintendo,” while the developer says point blank, “It’s like Animal Crossing!” I’m taking them up on the comparison since they’ve invited me to do so. The Castaway Paradies team makes no secret of cloning AC to give credit where credit is due. But in the case of Castaway Paradise, it can’t be helped. ![]() After all, it’s a minimal-effort explanation that often needs to discuss nuances further. I’m generally hesitant to use such terminology when describing a game. I understand that some players prefer a different approach.Castaway Paradise is an Animal Crossing clone, plain and simple. It makes for a better experience in the long run. We do re-enforce this aspect with some mechanics. So I can't play until the next day? Since there is nothing for me to do =/ It's a design decision, not a limitation to hinder your fun. My other quest required me to harvest some carrots. I have 2 quest that requires me to get fish and bugs. It makes us feel like we can only play and have fun for a limited time. That's sad, Complete version shouldn't be like this. We would love to hear your feedback on this. You're rewarded for coming back to the game daily and experience new stuff each day. We did this to re-enforce the real-time aspects of the game. If you come back the next they you'll get a new batch. However they do not keep spawning endlessly. Right now there are always a maximum amount of bugs/fish on the island. We'll be doing some tweaks to the bug spawning. Originally posted by Stolen Couch Games:Hi. ![]()
