Well, there’s no one in your party who can do that, but luckily the Aqua Gate will let us get back in a jiffy. That’s all well and good, but once you open the door, it turns out there are rocks you can mine. Instead of having to walk all the way back to the oasis, you can use the Aqua Gate to quick travel and swap out a party member. Like that chest behind the special door? You can’t get there without a specific party member who Metroid-style rolls into a ball to access the lock. Just like how players can assign residents to tasks around the oasis, Ever Oasis tries to accommodate to players by cutting down on time-wasting elements. It all begins with the Aqua Gate, a fast travel/bookmark ability that allows players to instantly teleport to the oasis at any point in the world. This is a good time for the most part, but the game quickly hits a ceiling on its own structure. The party management is even part of the draw, as you will be quickly switching between your party of three to use the most useful character. Dungeons have light puzzle elements, lock-on combat, and lots of secrets you’ll need to return for. In many ways, this is a spin on Zelda’s gameplay. ![]() As players continue, residents of the oasis can be added to your party and be used to explore the world, gain a leg up in combat, and provide side quests to expand aspects of the town– such as leveling up their shop. At first, the game starts off at a slow pace with many areas locked off, requiring special abilities to access. Going out into the desert world is necessary for players to overcome Chaos. These interactions are paper thin compared to the series they draw inspiration from, probably because as mentioned earlier this is only half of the game. There are also elements of Animal Crossing with the progression of the town’s growth and all the personalities of each new resident. Residents are capable of more than generating revenue, as they will have special abilities which can be used to progress through quests in the outside world, and can also be assigned to fulfill tasks that players may not have time for later in the game.įor the most part, managing the oasis is the Harvest Moon half of the game, where restocking the needs of shops, blowing sand off roads, and tending to the garden scratch that itch of keeping up with a digital zen garden. Make your oasis blossom! Passerbys will become new residents, and a Chief of the oasis, you will manage all the shops that they want to run in order to provide an income. ![]() It’s your duty as part of the seedling race, after all. ![]() The main character’s brother is a chief of one of these oases, and after a short introduction to the oasis, he has to battle a Chaos attack which overpowers him and sends you off on a journey of your own.įrom here, players will begin to create their own oasis. The plot is that there are oases throughout a desert world which is mostly lifeless thanks to an evil force called Chaos. Players will start out by creating a character, choosing a gender (this changes the default name between Tethu/Tethi), and adding some light customization before beginning the story. It’s more like I was interested in what the game had to offer for about half of the time. Does that mean that only half of the game is good? Not at all. Whether that’s too complacent depends on the person, but my experience with the game was similar to its ratio of genres: about 50/50. In the case of Ever Oasis, it’s definitely interested in testing those limits. It also begs the question of whether there’s such a thing as “too laid back” in games. The joint fight also increases the entourage in the level.Ever Oasis is Nintendo’s blend of casual town sim and casual RPG for the 3DS, a perfect combination for anyone looking to relax with a cute handheld game this summer. Only then can you complete many places in the first place. In addition, entourage can either be used as a grower, send them on expeditions, or make them part of the group to fight with them. This entourage ensures that the oasis can be enlarged. In the world of Vistrahda, you can find a variety of Seedlings, Serkah, Drauk, and Lagora, who want to settle in the oasis.
