    The game is otherwise exactly what you expect from the series if it was mobile. The graphics look really good for a mobile game, the characters are friendly and cute even if simplified for phone, and the gameplay is the fetching of items that make up animal crossing but without anything else.

    Story there isn’t anything to say as it is mostly just a tending to a camp, but you don’t play these games for a gripping story. Basically if you like animal crossing this is a taste of it or a version aimed at very little kids to introduce them to it. No, it won’t keep you entertained long and it isn’t a full animal crossing but it does what you’d expect of it.    … Expand

    This is a great mobile game!
    It's charming, addictive and just adorable.
    The customization system has improved alot! It's super easy to edit your camp.
    If you have played an animal crossing game before, you know that it's kind of difficult to edit your house. Here they have fixed everything.

    Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp has been out for just over a week now and the game has just started its holiday event. I just hit level 16 and pretty much know what this game's about, and I completely love it.

I just hit level 16 and pretty much know what this game's about, and I completely love it.

    While it's a very watered down version of the game, it's been incredibly fun so far. The game's a little grindy and repetitive, but what AC game isn't? In this rendition, you're in charge of a campsite and it's your job to furnish it. You craft your furniture with crafting materials, which you get from the animals around the campsite in exchange for fruits, bugs, and fish. This is their only purpose as you can't sell them for bells. The more you level up, the more animals and furniture become available for your campsite. Your house in this game is a camper, which you can upgrade to make it bigger or have a second floor.

    The game's premium currency is abundant at the beginning, but if you're impatient you'll burn through it. That being said, if you're a fan of the series, you won't mind waiting a day or two for certain items to be completed - it's a lost less annoying then Nook's closing down for a day.

    The animals definitely have less personality than a full game, I'm noticing phrases get repeated quite often. It's a mobile game and I'm not surprised. What was a pleasant surprise was the little cut-scenes that happen sometimes after you fulfill an animals request. I won't spoil anything, but these are downright adorable and fun when they pop up.

    The game may not be for everyone, but it's a great placeholder until we get a full game for the Switch whenever that may be.    … Expand

    Simple fun.

    This is basically animal crossing lite or a mini version of animal crossing. No, it has less to do and see than the main games, but it is a free mobile game so what did you expect? It does fall into the traps that other mobile games do with a heavy amount of in-game purchases, but the game is totally playable without them and most of the purchases are for cosmetic things    Simple fun.

    Overall it is just really harmless and an OK into to animal crossing if you aren't already familiar with the series.    … Expand

    Отличная игра! Мне она понравилась,
    В игре очень мало доната и прочих микро транзакций. Для тех кто не играл в игру, в ней вы должны строить и развивать свой лагерь.

    I played this game for a bit and if you don't own new leaf or horizons then it's fine i guess

    Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp is a fun and cute game for everyone willing to either pay up or be patient. Expecting this game to give you more than a decorating sim is simply a mistake.

    Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp has a lot going for it and does a lot right. It has some elements that looks really promising and can take the whole franchise in exciting new directions in the future. However, a lot of the soul of the franchise has been removed by becoming too punctual and predictable. The player knows exactly everything that is going to happen at exactly every time of the day.

    Pocket Camp is worse than main renditions of Animal Crossing in every aspect. Nintendo took a great franchise and taught it nasty mobile habits. [01/2018, p.51]
