The game's animal residents become repetitive quickly. The only slight differences you'll get are in the form of mismatched, garish colour palettes and odd accessories. If you're willing to overlook the game's rather creepy characters, however, the slightly smoother graphics at least makes the world look pleasant on Switch.Īs well as looking uncanny, Hokko Life's characters are lacking in variety, and you'll see the same few species during your playthrough. Unfortunately, despite the animal characters being reminiscent of Nintendo's own, their vacant eyes and oddly humanoid bodies are slightly off-putting.
DAYLIFE BACKPACK PLUS
On the plus side, the buildings and furniture are all relatively detailed, and it's nice to see your crafted items looking that extra bit nice. While the landscapes do look pretty good, they don't showcase as much detail as other life sims. On the whole, Hokko Life's visuals are a mixed bag. Getting settled in takes around six to eight hours, but following this, there's no real drive to keep you engaged.Ĭaptured on Nintendo Switch (Handheld/Undocked) Mechanics, character design, and gameplay all feel heavily influenced by the series, yet Hokko Life lacks the same level of charm and struggles to provide enough content to fill up a day. The comparison itself might seem trite, but from the get-go, it's impossible to look at Hokko Life without comparing it to Nintendo's life sim. Arriving at the train station and being immediately thrust into a sleepy town with no explanation recalls early Animal Crossing titles.
It's dark and slightly ominous, with only two buildings to welcome you. In the beginning, you're transported to a quiet, somewhat dishevelled town that seems utterly void of life. This intriguing animal-filled life sim echoes one of Nintendo's most popular titles but leaves us wondering what makes it a unique experience.
