“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 5 to 10 minutes a day transforming a barren desert island into a vibrant, thriving habitat — all at your own pace.
You're here 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 must 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: Just watching animals roam the island is its own kind of therapy.

・100+ animals: Desertopia features over 100 unique creatures and 25+ terrain types. More than 15 legendary creatures 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 slowly revert into a barren desert.

・Multi-layered music: Enjoy rich, layered background music that shifts based on the area of the island and the wildlife within it.

・Events: Cruise ships bring various people and events to the island. Each comes with both benefits and drawbacks. How your island evolves is entirely up to you.

Ratings and reviews

The game is extremely cute, but heavily geared towards microtransactions. I would pay for a "full" version, where energy and other items are easier to get through gameplay, but I don't like spending money on in-game items. I understand the point they're trying to make with pollution being permanent, but it's a bad gameplay decision. There should either be a way to remove pollution without paying real money, or tourists should give you a lot more gems. Gorilla killed my yak. I miss you, Yakov.

If you enjoy watching ads nonstop just to find one tiny animal that you probably already have then this game will be perfect for you!!! Takes wayyyyy too long and the reward is not even close to worth it. I've tried to get into this game many different times because I loveeeee the concept, but the game mechanics aren't where they need to be to make this game amazing.

Good game concept with cute illustrations. You can unlock everything without paying. Before upgrading the windmill severally times the game demands you to watch countless ads to make any progress. -1 Star The balance of the game is also off. The Gorilla kills all animals in the surrounding tiles and is best taken only once and instantly killed after getting the entry. Tourist are best to be avoided entirely because you get paid so little and pollution is permanent. -1 Star
