Alright, so I have been spending a lot of time playing Animal Crossing Pocket Camp. I have every single Animal Crossing Game except for the N64 version and the Amiibo Festiva (Which I do not consider to be a real game). Therefore, I was really looking forward to an animal crossing mobile game. Although the reactions are mixed, here are some of my opinions on it.
On Animal crossing pocket camp, you are in charge of a campsite, and your job is basically to recruit other animals to come and live in your campsite. To do this, you must fulfill requests for them, and you must build specific furniture for them.
Alright, so many people are annoyed with the time that you have to wait to harvest certain things or build certain furniture. However, this is perfect for me. I want a game that I don’t have to sit and waste time playing because I have a lot of other things to do, like reading books or doing homework. This game allows me to wake up in the morning, harvest some things, set some furniture to craft, and then I go to school. By the time I come back, most of my stuff is done, and then I can invite some more villagers to my town.
The only thing that irritates me is that there is not a WHOLE lot to do. The villagers have cute little cutscenes from time to time, but more often than not you just get a short conversation. I bought the KK Slider chair thinking that I would be able to customize my music, but he usually just plays one guitar song (or two). Then, the last thing that irritated me was the fact that there was little to no interaction with other players. I was hoping that they would at least have a chat box where you could make a friend group and talk to them while you were playing, rather like Clash of Clans. At best, I hoped that the people would be able to participate in island minigames like Animal Crossing New Leaf. Nevertheless, there is almost no interaction with friends, besides seeing their islands.
Overall, I hope more stuff is added in updates, but the game is a beautiful time waster, and I find myself playing it almost every day.
Overall Rating: 3.5/5
What I loved about AC is the flower breeding and the music. Haven’t played it since the DS days. Stopped playing it when they killed off grass with dirt paths, haha. Miss playing!
Ah I loved New Leaf, but my favorite will always be the good old GameCube Animal crossing.
Great memories!
I have a lot of nostalgia for this game and I do enjoy the app but I agree- I wish there was more to do! I am hoping that they will add more! I bought Nook and all he does is sleep! I was not very happy about that!
Same, like I saved my money for kk slider to strum the same three notes? It’s so sad it’s hilarious sometimes 😂
