Not to mention, releasing across Xbox One, PlayStation 4, PC and mobile platforms that have been starving for this styling of games. That’s not to say that there hasn’t been games similar already released, but one look is all it takes to realize the clear inspiring the Nintendo franchise had on the development of this title. While it was released on PC three years ago, the game just recently was released on console, but seemingly isn’t getting published on the Nintendo Switch. Using the relaxing, always sunny tropical islands as the setting, Castaway Paradise comes close to matching the magic from the beloved Animal Crossing franchise, but some critical missing components and gameplay mechanics keep it from reaching that lofty goal.
Opening on a horrific scene of being caught out in a storm on the ocean, you awake, covered in seaweed to the talking pig Viktoria, who just so happens to be mayor. After deciding if you are going to play as a boy or girl, you run through a brief tutorial that covers the basic mechanics you’ll be using while playing. Although you can’t alter the appearance of your character, which you are the only human in the game, you can equip a wide selection of new hairstyles, clothing, shoes, outfits, etc. All are either earned from completing quests, or by purchase using the in-game currency (pearls). Seasonal decorations are used to not only liven up your home (which starts as a tiny tent), but you can place items throughout the entire island, making it your own. Item available will change with the seasons, so right now you can get your hand on plenty of Summer-themed items. It isn’t long before you are set loose to rake soil, plant vegetables/trees, catch fish, and provide a much-needed service to the villagers, all of which are cheerful when greeting you, and all of which are animals. Everything in the game is set on timers, but generally smaller tasks end much faster than trying to grow an entire apple tree from a seed.
