Sanrio is close and close to my heart. Although this world Hello Kitty and her friends have only recently entered my life, I have several friends and families who love these guys. I lost the count, which my siblings mentioned Hello Kitty, Kuromi or Cinnamoroll in random conversations.
For me it was a blind game Hello Kitty Island Adventure. Although I knew about the Apple Arcade version through several friends, I never played it alone, which makes a modern beginning, not a direct comparison. I mainly thought that the characters are cute, but since then playing in it meant that I developed unexpected recognition for them and the Sanrio universe, leaving me satisfaction.
When I started for the first time Hello Kitty Island AdventureHalf, I expected Switch to get another game about petite animals occupying the island and deal with their activities. It was part of my mind, which was afraid that it would be the same game, simplified or changed to make it less attractive, giving my first minutes a special feeling of anxiety. Thank God, it took me only a few minutes to realize that this adventure is more than just a quick copy.
Instead, Hello Kitty Island Adventure You immediately welcome you with the main cast of the game, and Kitty herself leads you for the first few minutes. Things start simply: you are on a plane with every form of Sanrio, giving you the opportunity to talk to each of them and learn more about their thoughts about the upcoming adventure. It’s a nice way to introduce you to your world without throwing knowledge and exposure to the face. Or, you can completely skip this part if you just want to jump to the island and start immediately.
Speaking of the island, this map is huge. Its scale is not evident at the beginning, but when you run and discover the world around you, you quickly realize how much there is and how much each character will rely on you in the coming days. Sometimes it is overwhelming, though equally stimulating, especially if you prefer exploring serving tasks.
Don’t worry, however. There is a lot to be done if it’s your business. The only thing that overwhelmed me more than the size of this map is how many tasks Hello Kitty Island Adventure He throws your path in the first few hours. In addition to the story mission, you will receive all kinds of friendship tasks, accidental adventures and even daily tasks to play. It is effortless to log in, blink several times and suddenly you realize that you have spent the last few hours for the heroes. Everywhere there are even minigs and puzzles to the brain and unlock neat petite trophies.
Are these tasks full of great adventures and comical moments, or are most thoughtless duties and tasks that you can complete on auto-pilot? If so, it seems a mixture of both. Proceedings in the main story are satisfying, especially when you open more map areas and meet modern characters. Between the fact that there are hours of agricultural materials, raising friendship with the cast of Sanrio, and sometimes you have to wait a day in the real world to make significant progress because you are one level of friendship from unlocking another task. This is much less noticeable when the progress is uncomplicated and rapid, but sometimes it begins to continue.
On friendship, Hello Kitty Island Adventure It has a special system in which I mix. Every day you can give up to three elements of each character to raise their level of friendship. The points you get, depending on the tags of the subject and the preferences of the character, so giving Hello Kitty and someone like Tuxedosam will have different effects.
This game is largely based on giving presents to progression, and almost every task is closed at a specific level. Every day you also limit yourself to three gifts for each character, forcing you to wait until the next day, unless you reset your meter with a scarce object. There is a part of me who likes to think about what gifts I want to give someone without a sense of temptation to speed up the game in a few days, but the next part, which is overwhelmed by the need to spend dozens of items each day. In need of a few days to unlock one task sometimes to suck, but at the same time how much content is available, I barely noticed until I followed the game later.
Even when the restrictions on friendship make the mission sometimes a bit awkward, the interactions between you and each Sanrio form make everything fun and fascinating. They all have the same personalities and cartoon animated expressions that I expected from them, but there is something in their style and attitudes that make me smile every time I play. Sunblin nailed his appearance, personality and general vibrations, even if the lack of voice acting is a lost opportunity.
I am pleasantly surprised how much Hello Kitty Island Adventure It allows you to talk to other characters. It has your standard skills, such as cooking, creating and fishing with several more advanced classes that you unlock later. Many are closed behind the tasks and the level of friendship, but unlocking them opens up many possibilities to discover the island in various ways, without following the linear paths or at the autopilot all the time. I do not know about you, but I tend to the side from tasks to cook some food or fish for several hours, even if it does not aid much in progress. The only difference this time is that everything you do in this game helps in some way, mainly in the recovery or craft of tasks.
Hello Kitty Island Adventure This is a great game that distinguishes itself from the crowd and stands high as a densely full, pleasant experience. Although it can apply improvements in some areas, switch version Hello Kitty Island Adventure It is absolutely worth picking up if you were looking for a game resembling animals to try and either you do not have an iPhone, or you are on the fence to get the Apple Arcade subscription and prefer one -time payments. It works well without grave performance problems – at most I found a slightly long charging screen. However, taking into account the size of the game, I can easily forgive it.
Because updates appear every month and repeated events change everything, each day seems different on this island. I can’t wait to see how Hello Kitty Island Adventure’s The future is developing.
