Reviews: What People Think About DESERTOPIA
Pellzer T.
Rating: 4/5
This is a very cute and beautiful game. If you can push through the first week of gameplay, it gets to be more fun. It feels quite redundant at first and there aren’t enough explanations for consequences of certain actions or lack of actions (hint: don’t let the gorilla on your island), so it can be frustrating. You also have to watch ads to make it worth playing until you earn enough gems to power up your windmill. Much of the gameplay revolves around watering the tiles that make up the island so that plants will grow and animals will move back to the island. As time goes on, your work dries up and you have to re-water at least twice a day, but ideally more. It is frustrating to come back after a night of sleeping to find you have to use all of your windmill power to get back to the point you left off at when you went to bed, which then means either watching an ad or tapping the windmill a million times (which has an awful sound upon multiple tapping). However, it’s a pretty peaceful game and I like seeing the new animals. I hope they update it to fix some of these issues.

The game is adorable, and really fun. You don’t have to spend money to go far in the game and have fun, but it does unlock cool things and is worth it to me. I just don’t understand a lot of the game. I wish the instructions were more clear. Like it says that the picture of the mountains in the thought bubble means it’s not the right terrain, but the terrain is preset and you can’t change that? It doesn’t explain what the exclamation point in the thought bubble means, what it means whenever there is a sad/happy/surprised face, etc. I don’t understand the rain gauge? When I click a tile to either water it or make it sunny, the gauge doesn’t tell me at all if it needs more water or sun??? It seems like it needs more and more water, but then it says “this tile is *too* wet,” which I am under the impression that’s a bad thing? I wish their was a better legend/key and better instructions.

I really love this game, I do, and after spending a slow first week, I managed to breeze by getting most of the animals. The only thing that really bothers me is how we no longer can pick up 10 pieces of trash after the work ship update, and how they really don’t tell you how to get the oasis landform. Does it require a dessert to be changed to a wetland? Please tell!

“A simple game with a deep meaning.” — INSIDE
“Experience the role humans play in the ecosystem, and understand that we cannot take whatever we want from Mother Nature without repercussion. Learn how to cherish valuable resources.” — App Store Feature
///// Introduction /////
Desertopia is a relaxing and therapeutic idle simulator where you can spend just 5–10 minutes a day transforming a barren desert island into a vibrant, thriving habitat — all at your own pace.
Your goal is to care for the island and help restore its wildlife.
Occasionally, you’ll need to pick up floating trash to keep the environment clean.
You’ll also make decisions about events triggered by human activity.
Will you allow a tour group to visit the island? Should you build a resort?
Every choice you make will directly influence how the island develops.
///// Features /////
・Storybook-style art: Simply watching the animals roam the island can feel therapeutic on its own.
・100+ animals: Desertopia features over 100 unique creatures and 25+ terrain types. More than 15 legendary species may appear under special conditions — some only during festivals and holidays!
・Weather and water evaporation: Water evaporation is a unique gameplay mechanic. You’ll need to summon rain regularly to maintain livable conditions for your wildlife. If neglected, the island will gradually revert to a barren desert.
・Multi-layered music: Enjoy rich, evolving background music that shifts depending on the area and the animals inhabiting it.
・Events: Cruise ships bring visitors and special events to the island, each with both benefits and drawbacks. How your island evolves is entirely up to you.
