Develop a deserted island and collect rare monsters!
The game combines city-building elements with monster collecting and training, creating an engaging loop of expanding your island, capturing and training unique beasts, and using them in battles.
Players start with a desolate island and must build it up by constructing various buildings and facilities, including housing, power sources, farming, and other infrastructure to support the growing population and resources. Carefully managing resources and finances is crucial to expand the island efficiently.
Players can venture out on expeditions to explore the surrounding islands and capture new beasts. These beasts have different elemental strengths and weaknesses, which players must consider when assembling their combat teams. Once captured, the beasts can be trained and leveled up, unlocking new abilities and stats. Players can also equip their beasts with various gear and items to further enhance their capabilities.
Players can use their trained beasts in battles against rival islands or challenging expeditions. The combat system uses a rock-paper-scissors style elemental weakness system, requiring players to carefully select their team composition. Winning battles allows players to progress and unlock new areas to explore. Expeditions send the player's team of beasts on adventures to gather resources, discover new beasts, and complete objectives.
The game has a slower, more relaxed pacing, with an element of waiting for resources to accumulate or beasts to level up. As players progress, they can unlock new islands to explore, access more advanced buildings and equipment, and encounter more powerful and rare beasts to capture.
Reviews praise the game's unique blend of city-building, monster collecting, and strategy RPG elements, as well as its charming and humorous presentation. Fans of the developer's previous games often find this title to be a standout, with more depth and complexity compared to some of their other offerings.
