In most games, this is represented as a skill tree, which allows the player to allocate points to increasingly more potent abilities and upgrades as they progress through the game. Once you start playing you will find yourself caring about your villagers like they were real people.One of the hallmarks of a great RPG is a well-designed system for acquiring new skills and powering up a character. The sound effects and music are great and help create an immersive effect to the game. The graphics really add to the island theme and stay true to it. The graphics are 2D and pretty out of date, but that doesn't affect the gameplay. Some of these are things you will accomplish by advancing in the game but some require you to explore and solve mysteries. There are several challenges to accomplish. Children won't work until a certain age, but they still consume food and resources. The villagers will eventually age and die so you will need to continuously replenish the population with babies. Food is gathered or grown and feeds the villagers when they are hungry. Tech points are earned by scientists and can be used to upgrade things like construction, farming, science and even dendrology (this helps you save the tree). Tech points and food are the only consumables in the game. To start a villager on a certain action you hold down the left mouse button on them which will pick them up and drop them near the activity you want them to perform. There are several mysteries that you need to solve as well as things that will help your villagers out.Ĭontrolling the game is very simple and only requires the mouse.

The other goal besides staying alive is exploration. The villagers will continue doing what you have told them to most of the time, but occasionally they will explore or eat. The longer a villager performs a task the better they get at it.

You will need to tell your villagers to perform tasks like gather food, research and build.
