I loved the quirky cartoon style of the characters and backgrounds. Sure the graphics aren’t super stylized or HD but they aren’t meant to be. I also loved that I didn’t have to use real money to buy basic items. I love that you don’t need to add friends in the game in order to get items. I found myself playing for hours before I knew it. It is very easy to get into and play as little or as much as you want. You pretty much just hear the same song over and over.Ĭastaway Paradise is a very user-friendly. There isn’t a lot of variety when it comes to the background music. The characters have a block/cube look to them that make them look like they belong in Minecraft. I think the quirky style of the game and characters just adds to the fun atmosphere of the game. Sometimes you even get a choice as to how to respond to what they say. Each villager has their own personality and may even make you laugh with what they say. The villagers are just as colorful and quirky as the graphics. Since you don’t have to wait to get rewards, or items it makes it easier to get into. What Castaway Paradise gets right that some games that are similar in nature don’t is that you can easily play for hours on end. If you want to see your inventory, buy items, or anything else either click the ESC button or the brief case icon on the screen. To do anything else in the game just left-click on your mouse. You can either use the arrows on your keyboard or mouse to move around. Everything is explained easily and the only controls you need are your mouse. I have played other simulation games on Steam that were promising at first but made things more complicated than necessary. Another aspect I loved about this game is the simplicity of the controls and menus. That takes the limits of what you can do in the game. In Castaway Paradise PC version, you don’t deal with any of that. As a result, they don’t answer the request and you don’t get the item you need to complete the task in the game. Most people I know hate getting Facebook game requests. That’s why I usually end up quitting any Facebook games because they always require you to bug the heck out of your friends for items you need in the games. ![]() In the PC version on Steam you don’t need to ask friends for in-game items either. What makes this game addicting is that you make the island into what you want. It is up to you to pick up the trash, weeds, rocks, and finish the buildings on each island. Just like with the main island the surrounding islands need work too. Once you collect enough pieces you can build a bridge that will connect another island to the mainland. You can get them from doing quests or buying them with gems which is the in-game cash. In order to connect the surrounding islands to the mainland you need puzzle pieces. You can plant flowers, trees, and anything else. As long as you got the gems you can make your house as fancy as you want. If you want to upgrade it, you will need to save your gems. When you first land on the island your house is a tent. You can buy wallpaper, furniture, seeds, trees, tools, etc in the game with gems. In the mobile version you will have to use real cash if you want access to VIP status. No real life money required to do so in the PC version because the game costs $14.99. The great part is to get money to buy items all you have to do is quests. ![]() There are tons and tons of items you can buy with the in-game money. The higher level your character the more goodies get unlocked in the catalog for you to use. Once you get to level 15 you are considered VIP and get access to even more items and areas. If you want to unlock more items to use on the island you need XP to level up your character. When you do complete the different tasks the villagers ask you to you get items, money, and XP. ![]() You don’t even have to complete them in order or right away. It is up to you though if you complete them or not. Then the quests get more complex the more you do them. The quests start off easy such as delivering mail, picking up liter, going fishing, etc. You choose what your gender is, you choose what you want your place to look like, and whether you do quests or not. You get to do whatever you want on Castaway Paradise just like in The Sims. You take quests from them, you get your own place, and help them make their island beautiful. This island is filled with animal people similar to Animal Crossing. In Castaway Paradise you get shipwrecked on an island. A year later the game was released to Android, iOS, and PC. I have played my fair share of Facebook games and they didn’t hold a candle to Castaway Paradise. ![]() I am happy that Castaway Paradise didn’t stay on Facebook. Created by Stolen Couch Games Castaway Paradise is a life simulation game that was originally launched on Facebook in 2014.
