Introduction

Animal Crossing is a game where you are at the head of everything. You are the leader of a island and your goal is to create and have fun!

And what’s more fun than sharing an island with friends? I mean, animals…That are friendly! Scroll down to find out more 😈

The newest version “Animal Crossing New Horizons” allows the player to freely design, manage, run around and create their own version of paradise!

Gameplay

In this game, you are the representative of an island and apart from the Resident Services, you are in charge of everything from welcoming new villagers to cutting down trees. You can do whatever you want, like growing money on trees, digging up fossils, or even just running around terrorizing the residents. Unfortunately, you will soon realize that you will need money, time and dedication for everything…

Villagers

Animal Crossing villagers are divided into 8 different personality types: jock, lazy, cranky, smug, normal, peppy, snooty, sisterly.

They are the ones who will move from island to island and potentially become permanent residents on your island if you cross paths with them. They will stay as long as you allow it.
