Pro: +cute details, likeable characters, fitting soundtrack, the desert graphics +managing the economy of your oasis is addtictive: recruiting villagers, helping them to open their shops, harvesting, crafting + fun dungeons, clever puzzles + convinient travel system, like warping + fun combat system cons - i whish there were more oppurtinities to customize - only 3 different tribes - you're only allowed to take 2 villagers with you to fight- while everyone has one skill, some dungeons require more skills and you have to return to clear the dungeon completely - plot might be too shallow for you if you're a fan of jrpgs Okay, first of all, I'm a huuuge fan of simulating games with rpg elements: Fantasy Life (favorite game), Rune Factory, Harvest Moon or Animal Crossing. I love collecting stuff, crafting and building cute little economies while I'm able to customize my world. So of course I picked this game up! I'm not disappointed. I'm a **** for cute details and this game has tons of them! I think they put a lot of efford into making the world so beautiful and the characters so likeable. The story somehow reminds me of Final Fantasy: Crystal Chronicles. You're defending your oasis from the evil (the chaos). In order to do that, you have to make your oasis grow by getting travellers to stay in your oasis and built their shop. You're the one providing their stock, btw :D The bigger your oasis, the stronger you get and you get to explore more places, as you recruit more seedlings with different skills (digging, mining etc). The dungeons are fun and clever, without being frustrating. I enjoyed solving the puzzles and fighting the monsters. I'm only at 12 residents right now but about 20hrs in because there is so much to do and I love that you can decide what you want to do: exploring, collecting materials, doing requests, crafting and so on. Only thing is, I whished they gave us more oppurtunities to customize our oasis or character and made the other characters a littler deeper- sometimes it feels too shallow and I can't even tell who is who bc no one really stands out- but this is of course only my opinion. If you liked the games I mentioned in the beginning of my review, you'll love this game! It
