In this particular case, the app was a free online mobile game that ran for quite a number of years, so most people are going to be paying for it on a sunk cost fallacy. If you devoted a lot of time to the game, it's the only way to save your progress.

However, if you've never played Animal Crossing before, I don't recommend starting here, as it's a more watered down entry into the series.

With that said, $10 is a pretty low barrier for entry to see if any of it appeals to you.

Keep in mind that yes, you're saving $10 by buying it during the introductory period, you could be saving an additional $10 by not purchasing the game at all.

It is nothing like the mainline games. The gameplay revolves around leveling up villagers by wandering around a few small zones to obtain insects, fruits, and materials. As you level up the villagers, it contributes to your player level.

I think the closest the game gets to the regular titles is to happy home designer. You can't customize the actual map, you can only customize your campsite and your RV.

The original pocket camp game was designed as a typical mobile game where you do a couple fetch quests every day and slowly make progress, using money to speed things up.

yes very good deal considering that it will include all premium items that users have had to pay micro transactions for over the last couple of years to obtain for just one payment of $10. There is not going to be any online features like sending friends gifts or visiting their camp, but animal crossing isn't really seen as a online social game anyways

I love New Horizon and will by the next Animal Crossing themed Switch successor but this game just didn't appeal to me. I had more fun playing Cozy Grove (free Netflix game)

I could see it happening holiday 2025. Can't believe it's been four and a half years since New Horizons.

Been playing since the beginning. I'd say give it a try for the next month and see if you like it. The nice thing is almost all items from the game will be available in this version plus a year of new items. I hate the multiplayer is being stripped but this is better than completely shutting the game down.

I played this when it first launched, it is nothing like the main game. A lot less things to do and you can't really explore around. Basically just doing some daily tasks and some other small things to do. You can only build your own tiny village and invite other people to come, not much more to do. So completely not worth the $10 imo.

I remember playing this in the middle of the night while nursing my first baby 🥹 Wii and DS versions are obviously better but I still enjoyed this as an animal crossing fan

I might have to try this. I hope they make a version of Mario Kart Tour like this.

Go with the Switch version. It's made to be played practically forever.
