Highly anticipated farming and life simulation game Coral Island has received new details which excites everyone even more, and already earns an important place in this genre of games.
Coral Island was first announced in 2021, began on Kickstarter, and met its initial funding goal in only 36 hours! It includes many features of classic farming and life simulation games, but adds unique elements to the gameplay, such as exploring underwater and meeting mermaids, visiting other islands, and many more.
Much like Animal Crossing: New Horizons and Stardew Valley, this game will also offer many unique NPC’s with beautifully created designs, allow build up friendships with these characters, and some can even be romanced with a marriage system we are familiar with already. You will also be able to customize your own character and house, catch bugs and fish (and donate them to the museum if you wish), farm, attend special seasonal festivals, clean the waters around the island and help your neighbours. Interacting with farm animals will also be possible, as you will be able to own coops and barns that house different animals. If you are looking for some adventure, the game will also offer some combat in this game with dungeons you will get to explore through mining, similar to the style of Stardew Valley.
