Hokko Life Review: Yet Another Farm Game
Unlike some other games in the genre, Hokko Life does manage to cultivate a relaxed and pressure-free atmosphere, but it still struggles to stand out amongst an already bloated genre.

Rapid Reviews UK: 3.5 / 5 by Leigh Wynne
So, where to begin with Hokko Life? Let’s start with the similarities to a well known game from Nintendo: Animal Crossing. Both games have resource management, building a community from scratch and crafting various tools to assist in your endeavours. See, everything about Hokko Life screams Animal Crossing, right down to the beginning of the game, where we see our young villager taking a short train ride to a quiet run-down village in the middle of nowhere.

A bland alternative to a genre-defining game millions of people are very familiar with.

Hokko Life is a farming/life sim that tries to make a name for itself but fails to stand out in a genre of more compelling titles.
Hokko Life Description
Hokko Life is a simulator inspired by the Animal Crossing series, known from the Nintendo consoles. During the adventure, the player is taken to a colorful village, inhabited by anthropomorphic characters. Robert Tatnell is responsible for the production and release of the title.
Mechanics
In Hokko Life, the player starts life in Hokko, a village full of anthropomorphic animals. The main aim is to expand the village and help its inhabitants.
The game places great emphasis on crafting. The player explores the village and its surroundings in search of raw materials, which can then be combined with each other in order to obtain a specific variety of objects (including furniture and clothes for the residents). While crafting an object, you can adjust it to your preferences by, among other things, changing the shape of specific elements.
During the game, the player can also build new constructions with the help of a builder residing in the village. The newly built facility should then be furnished, which allows new residents to settle in it.
The player can also grow different types of plants and then sell the crops. This is done with fields that are selected by the player.
Hokko Life also allows you to collect items. The player can grab the rod and visit local fisheries to discover new species of fish and catch insects scattered all over the area with a special net.
Game modes
In Hokko Life you can only play alone.
