1. The Basics of Castaway Paradise

Just like the ever popular classic games Animal Crossing and Harvest Moon, Castaway Paradise follows the player as the resident of a small town filled with animals getting the island into better shape, by repairing its buildings and bridges, and clearing rocks and weeds. The player can do other tasks in the game, such as catching bugs, fish, collecting sea shells, and socializing with the other villagers. Players are also able to grow their own flowers and fruit trees, farm their own crops, decorate the island and their home, and decide what their character wears. In addition, villagers will set quests for the player, and there is roster of tasks to do that changes several times a day, through which the player can gain experience points. Like Animal Crossing there are special events and items for sale on specific days, such as holidays. Despite the tropical island theme, Castaway Paradise was around before the upcoming newest New Horizons entry in the Animal Crossing franchise. Follow our guide below to beautify your town and succeed in this sandbox life sim!

2. Don’t Sell Your Fruit, Plant It

While roaming about town you’ll occasionally find fruit laying around on the ground in Castaway Paradise. It can be sold to Polly or Samir for a quick bit of cash, but don’t be in a rush to get rid of that delicious apple or banana. Plant it instead. Planted fruit eventually grows into trees, which keep on supplying fruit as long as you water them (or when it rains). With time and patience, you’ll have a real cash crop on your hands. Sweet right?

3. Play Everyday

Unlike Harvest Moon, and more like Animal Crossing, Castaway Paradise continues to advance even when you are not playing. Life on your island continues whether you are there or not. You receive bonuses for checking in on Castaway Paradise every day. You might receive money, or even the aforementioned plantable fruit.

4. Watch Your Stamina

More like Harvest Moon than Animal Crossing, in Castaway Paradise you have a stamina meter that you need to keep watch of. That’s why it is important to note how many times you need to use a tool before a task is completed. Tasks like watering trees and flowers, breaking rocks, and digging up stumps require more than one action. Take note how many times you need to use the relevant tool before the task is done. Using tools takes up stamina, which will automatically regenerate over time.

5. Find Your Friends

Can’t find where your friends on the island are? Can’t find the shop? Tap or hit the magnifying glass icon in the lower-left corner of the screen. You’ll get a bird’s eye view of the island as well as nearby shops and villagers that have issued quests. It’s a useful tool to keep track of active quests, while also letting you admire the beauty of your growing island.

6. It’s a Shakedown

One of Animal Crossing’s most famous elements is here in Castaway Paradise. Want free stuff? Shake a tree! Shaking a tree containing ripe fruit will gift you with a piece of that fruit, which you can plant or sell. Don’t forget to shake down pine trees as well. Some villagers issue quests that require you to grow pine trees, which you can’t do without a pine cone.

Final Word

If you follow our guide you’ll be growing your town in no time and mastering this wonderful life sim. Have fun!

Comments

I have to say, this is a really weird feeling for me. 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. 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. 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?.. Right?

Contents.History The could be seen since humans began to. Pengorganisasian. Organizing involves coordinating and arranging people in order to meet up a set planned objective.Characteristics The following are the important characteristics of organization:. Prior to that, history was passed down only through song and word. Specialization and division of work. As can be seen with religion, books and spoken word, science (through journals and studies) organizing not only is history but also supports the communication of history.

All jokes aside and more straight to the point, Castaway Paradise is not a very original game. 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. 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. That being said, I do have to give praise where it’s due, there’s nothing actually wrong with Castaway Paradise, it’s just bland. As far as functionality goes, the title is pretty decent. As far as quality however, it doesn’t try to innovate or excite.

Moving past that and into the story, the plot itself is a pretty standard affair for this type of thing. Long story short, you’re sailing on the water when your boat crashes due to a huge wave and you become marooned on a tropical island which is inhabited by The Island of Dr. Moreau style animal people… still with me? Honestly, the story here is fine and it presents the player with a solid goal to strive towards. Long story short, the more objectives you manage to complete, the more the community grows as a result, which is as good a reason as any to help the island residents get back on their feet. Also, you can become filthy rich -and let’s face it, who isn’t motivated by money?

Next, let’s take a look at the visuals. This is, hands down, easily the strongest part of Castaway Paradise’s game (so to speak). The visuals are simple yet work well for what the title is offering and the cartoony nature takes away a lot of the humdrum work that you’ll have to do as the main character. So, if you were thinking of picking up this game, the visuals are definitely where it’s at.

Unfortunately, where the visuals earn praise, the replayability takes it away. Which, for a game about coming back and doing tasks, isn’t a great sign. Maybe I’m the only one who thinks so, but the chores you have to do in Castaway Paradise feel like… well they feel like a chore! Breaking rocks, catching bugs, planting flowers and trees, fishing, it’s all so mundane and time consuming, literally. The wait times on some of this tasks are a bit much even for a life simulator. That being said, the thing that really helped me get through it all was the fact that I could name my character something crude and childish, because I’m a grown adult like that.

So, all in all, is Castaway Paradise worth picking up? Short answer: No. At the end of the day, there are just better options out there. It’s not that the game fails to live up to life simulator standards, it’s just when you’re going up against old juggernauts of the genre, make sure to have something that sets yourself apart from them. Visuals are one thing, but everything else? That definitely needs some work.

Castaway Paradise (Reviewed on Xbox One)

Minor enjoyable interactions, but on the whole is underwhelming.

Castaway Paradise is a title that tries to live up to other genre defining hits like Blue Harvest and Animal Crossing, but merely comes across as a cheap knock-off of the two. A life simulator that doesn't look very lively, your money is better spent else where.
