Of Mice and Sand -Revised- is a positively charming title. It’s a cute and entertaining world that I would love to come back to if Arc System Works could find a way to make a second trip more compelling with additional gameplay options.

Of Mice and Sand: Revisited is a fun resource management game. Building up the mice’s sandship to produce ever more complex goods requires thought and a good understanding of how the game operates. However, requirements to progress can slow it down and lead down the path of repetition. Even upgrades designed to maximize production capacity can’t fully address the pacing. Interface concerns dog the experience throughout. Still, it’s a fun diversion in short bursts and a welcome companion to TV, but finding the entire path to El Dorado might take a little too long for its own good.

This game might start out slow but after the tutorial it becomes a fight for survival in all the good ways

Charming is the word. The music is nice and country is really an appropriate style, the sounds can get a bit overwhelming on a big ship, but it shows the energy you would expect of a mice colony. The graphics are unexpectedly cute. The UI can get a bit clunky at times but that's just something to get used to. The story is inconsequential and goofy, I would have liked something a bit more serious, I guess, but it goes well with the look of the game I guess... Tip to run a tight ship : don't use the feature to assign mice to rooms. You can do a lot with fewer mice if they're all doing whatever needs to be done.

Of Mice and Sand -Revised- does a lot of things right; a mixture of quests, resource management, and a necessity for clever thinking result in a decent experience for the most dedicated fans of the genre. Unfortunately, though, a lack of clear direction and a tricky-to-master workflow mean that it likely won’t quite click with everyone else; these games work best when you find yourself addicted to their menial tasks and, this time around, that sadly wasn’t always the case. Not a bad option to consider for fans of tactical management, then, but be wary of our warnings if you do choose to give it a go.

The bigger screen and better resolution of the Switch makes Of Mice And Sand the game it wanted to be. The extras added into this edition makes it the definitive version. It’s a very pleasant, enjoyable and entertaining little game, but its biggest problem is hard to get past; I wanted it to be far more memorable. It simply struggles to take its excellent foundations and turn it into something truly special.

Of Mice and Sand is a little resource management game that requires a huge amount of time (and previous knowledge) to begin with it.

The concept is intriguing, but with this execution it just scratches the surface. This survival strategy relies too much on grind and not enough on storytelling.

Let's be real here, the games alright, it definitely offers something to do and something to work towards, but the game as a whole is poorly optimized, and I can't really recommend this game to anyone.
