Pretty Princess Magical Garden Island (Switch)

Product Information

You and your three princess friends are going to Carrot Isle to savour the delights of the Princess Cake. The talking rabbit butler, Asbel, transports you to the island. But, oh no, the island is deserted, except for Rabbit House and the old town square. No fruit, no animals, no shops and no recipes. But fear not; you and your magical bracelet will be able to restore everything as your happiness level rises. I always overthink when it comes to decorating and tend to leave it until the end. Perhaps I’m just not the decorating kind of gamer! Unfortunately, my indecisiveness meant that when I presented the Princess Cake, and everyone commented about how far the island had come and how wonderful it looked, my island didn’t look that much different from when I first landed. So if you want some great end-of-game photos, decorate just south of Rabbit House! Now I’ve decorated it as pretty as a picture! There is a timer to making items, however. The base time is five minutes, though they can be up to ten minutes. These timers apply to crops, the animals, crafting buildings, and restaurants. When I first encountered this mechanic, I thought it would get annoying fast. That wasn’t the case, though. I found that there’s enough to do around Garden Island that I’d get swept up in something else and not even realize five or ten minutes had passed. The whole game revolves around completing the requests to receive gratitude points. Gratitude points increase the happiness level. The higher the happiness level, the more buildings, décor, outfits, seeds, and recipes are available. You must get to level 15 to complete the main objective of making the Princess Cake. Each happiness level is around 500 gratitude points more than the previous one – enough of a challenge without being ridiculously hard. If the request is too difficult, you can decline it, though you’ll have to wait 5 minutes before declining any more. Shopping Yum… fresh juices!

There is no touchscreen functionality, but at least the font size is appropriate for handheld play. The game autosaves, but there is also a manual save, so you can exit whenever you wish. There is only one instance of the game per user, but each user on the console has their own island. The game works in real-time, but no night/day or season cycles exist. When you first arrive on Carrot Isle, you’re introduced to the townsfolk – who are mostly rabbits. You also meet your fellow princesses, who each run their own shops on the island.In its style and presentation, Pretty Princess Magical Garden Island is aimed at a young princess-type gamer. I don’t fit that description, but I still enjoyed my time on Carrot Isle. It’s a stress-free dip in and out of the game, which is bright, colourful and full of sweetness. Aina The End Releases New Single 'Diana,' Studio Live Performance Video Featuring Anime Theme Songs Also Released You receive lumina (money) and gratitude points (increases happiness level) for each completed request. The requests vary; some might be a flower, whilst others might be 3 or 4 crafted items. Obviously, the more complicated the request is, the larger the reward. The rabbit NPCs are cute, and I wish their name appeared when they collected their items. Isle of Man, Isle of Wight, Northern Ireland and the Scottish Highlands) may take longer to reach you. With all of that in mind, Pretty Princess Magical Garden Island is an incredibly simple game where there's really not much to its easy-breezy gameplay. It can even be a bit tedious if you're not in the mood for mindless relaxation and I also found some parts to be rather limiting. For example, why can't I alter buildings in interesting ways or give my princess a prominent snout and a shiny coat of fur? 🤔 Seeing bunnies get this excited is worth the price of admission

Once you’ve created your princess, the game briefly overviews what happened before and sets the scene for the new adventure. The beautiful island getaway, Carrot Isle.While the game seems pretty empty at first, that soon changes when you increase your Happiness Level. This sense of progression makes the game much more enjoyable, rather than it just being a standard decorating/farming simulator. Game Progression The map shows where Rabbit House, bridges and stairs are, as well as your location. Although you start with the same rivers and hills, terraforming (granted at happiness level 10) allows you to create the Carrot Isle of your dreams. Build, and They Will Come The design menu wheel. So much choice! There are over 1500+ décor items, ranging from plant pots to lookout towers, lampposts to phone boxes. Some of the décor is out of keeping with a garden though, for instance, beds and bookcases. Pretty Princess Magical Garden Island certainly targets a demographic of gamers who love to take part in customisation. With a wide variety of clothes, hairstyles, and makeup options, players can easily create a princess that reflects their own stylistic tastes. However, these options can’t be bought outright.
