![]() It actually did not stop at the outdated mechanics, I was also unable to speak to many other characters from the start, having to fiddle around them before it actually worked.Ĭastaway Paradise is just such a broken game on Nintendo Switch, that I strongly recommend sticking with the king of the genre, Animal Crossing. I can not remember how many times I have just sighed while playing this game. Castaway Paradise is in my humble opinion a game that should have stayed away from Switch. ![]() Very tedious as a job and I would rather listen to a political podcast than do this?Īnd that is the worst part, I truly hate politics but the entire mechanics of this game, it just hurts so much more. Again, every time needing to go into your menu to select the right option in between things. ![]() You spend another 5 minutes to sow your seeds and if you are lucky enough, just spend 4 minutes to give them all water. You select the proper tool, do the work and around 5 minutes later, your 12 pieces of soil are ready to be worked upon. The grounds first need to be worked, which forces you to go into the menu. There is also this need to do things in such a way, that they make you want to pull your hairs out. There is clearly no visual cue available and that is just the tip of the iceberg. Let me start by the most annoying of features, the fact that it is at times damn near impossible to select the tile you want from the first try. Its backwards controls and tacky mannerisms, just about everything about this game screams at me to delete it from my Switch and I have had this issue from the start. Originally, Castaway Paradise is a mobile game and it shows. What would you like to do today in Castaway Paradise? Help the villager out. Enjoy the seasons and various events On Castaway Paradise you can do whatever you want. This is your island, your adventure! Instant vacation on your own tropical island! Decorate the island, dress up, collect insects, grow crops and help your new neighbors. I do wish there was more a narrative structure however and I also found the level system slows down too much one you get into the higher tiers.Welcome to our review of Castaway Paradise, a really cheap clone of what is often called the Animal Crossing genre. I had a great time meeting the characters, completing quests and working to rebuild this lovely island. ![]() It's a wonderful experience that looks great, while keeping a minimalistic style. There are so many things to do from fishing, to bug catching and you could even collect sea shells from the beaches. It's easy to get into with simple concepts, yet carries lots of depth as you continue to play. I would at times say I'm going to wrap up and wouldn't notice the time going by for another hour. I was very impressed with this game and its addicting nature. I was very impressed with the quantity of items and there's just so much depth present in this.Ĭastaway Paradise focuses on Animal Crossing while adding great features from Harvest Moon to make a perfect new entity. Aside from direct tasks there's a bank to earn interest, a stock market to play and a museum to donate critters to. The UI is very simple and straight forward with lots of complexity being sorted into one easy going area. Head over to the local store or use the direct shopping menu. You're able to fully customize your own house and appearance. There are tons of trees, flowers, crops and even furniture. The world is filled with colorful plants and almost too many items to collect. The game achieves that style while also doing something different with it. I thought the visuals were fine, they're nothing too amazing but they definitely capture that iconic look well. The game moves very fast for quite a few hours and then seems to slow down level wise which was odd. Each level you achieve will grant a new set of things to do and refresh all of your crops to their harvesting state. The goal is to generally advance to new areas by unlocking special tokens and then you're able to access new content. There's not really a story here aside from when you're arriving, but that doesn't matter as the gameplay is so addicting. There are silhouettes in the water which potentially could be fish to catch and so many objects to remove in order to clear up the area. You're able to complete a full farming method, plant trees to then shake them or even run around swatting at bugs. Everything here is very similar to Animal Cross with a mix of Harvest Moon. This is achieved by completing quests, farming or a number of other smaller tasks. From there you need to help fix this place up by tidying, assisting local folks and rebuilding destroyed land marks. The story follows whatever character you make as they crash land on an island. ![]() Castaway Paradise Review "Basically Animal Crossing" CampaignĬastaway Paradise is basically Animal Crossing for all platforms and it's a great time. ![]()
