Castaway Paradise is a simple and relaxing sandbox simulation game in which we build a new home on a small island and then help its inhabitants, cultivate the land and participate in various activities. The game was developed by Stolen Couch Games, an independent studio from the Netherlands. The creators were strongly inspired by the Animal Crossing and Harvest Moon series. Fans of both brands will find many direct references in their work. Castaway Paradise made its debut on PCs in 2015. Later, the game was ported by Codeglue studio to other platforms.

Mechanics

Castaway Paradise does not have an extensive plot. After creating our own character, we are moved to a small island. Its only village is inhabited by nice and eccentric animals. The action of the game is presented in isometric view, and players can freely move around the whole three-dimensional map of the island and interact with objects and independent characters. You can start building your own house right away and then start working in the field or take part in many other activities such as fishing, catching insects, buying new furniture and equipment or preparing unique outfits. It is also possible to get to know the neighbours and gain their trust by performing side tasks and requests, as well as repairing and decorating the structure of a village destroyed by a hurricane. The authors also prepared various events connected with the four seasons of the year, which, when they come, change the island beyond recognition.

Castaway Paradise focuses on Animal Crossing while adding great features from Harvest Moon to make a perfect new entity.

Nintendo Life: 4 / 10 by Kate Gray

Castaway Paradise is hardly the first game to take inspiration from Animal Crossing, and it certainly won't be the last - but its unoriginal adherence to the Animal Crossing formula is bad enough, without the added veneer of in-app purchases, hastily reskinned and demonetised for a full-price release. It began life as a Facebook game back in 2014, and it still feels like one seven years later.

Xbox Sector: 6.8 / 10 by Jordan Smith

If you thrive on sim like games and you’re looking for a different game to play from the norm, then Castaway Paradise is for you. It has been quite some time since I thoroughly enjoyed one of these type games and it really brought back some memories from experiences like this in other games. Games like this are always down to how they speak to each individual player. For the low asking price (L8.83 here in the UK), it’s well worth picking up, even if games in this genre aren't usually your thing.
