Ever Oasis presents a wonderfully captivating tale that, despite the sizzling desert heat, enchants like no other. Magical, entrancing and beautifully presented, it’s playful looks may scream with a childlike appeal but, make no mistake, this is an RPG with tremendous depth that all ages will enjoy exploring.

Ever Oasis got me back on my 3DS for some hours and besides some not really user friendly gameplay elements the game offers a solid start for a new series. Fans of The Legend of Zelda or Animal Crossing will definitely have their fun.

Looking for a mixture of town management and hack and slash RPG? Better head on down to the Oasis for a while.

Most of the PSVG crew have opted to not try Ever Oasis in favor of Miitopia later this month. I am the exception to the rule and downright ecstatic to be so. The past few weeks have been spent beating story mode (within a week's time) and chipping away to satisfy my urge to complete all quests imaginable. That's right, the 100% run. When I dove into this game, I knew it would be a matter of boosting your oasis and gaining residents, but I had no idea how obsessive collecting the whole roster of residents would be.

Despite its clever concept, quality combat, enjoyable ARPG gameplay, and attractive art direction, Ever Oasis gets buried beneath a series of small but grating missteps. Another engaging adventure on the 3DS, but one that'll quickly be lost to the sands of time.

Ever Oasis is all about trying to be as happy as possible and making a happy place for others to live. This is definitely a cute game and it's refreshing to be able to sit down and really enjoy a game with only minor things you would change. Between the peaceful music as you walk around the Oasis and the cute penguins who purchase items from the town, it is sweet and nice. Battles, puzzles, quest. This game offers so many great features it's hard not to enjoy.

Ever Oasis is a masterfully crafted piece of gaming software that manages to introduce a lot of original town management elements into an action RPG without feeling overwhelming or too hard to understand even for younger audiences, all while offering a solid experience gameplay-wise, as well as visually and audibly.

With anticipation comes fear of a letdown, but fortunately Grezzo succeeding in alleviating those fears by delivering a truly superb experience. It's filled with so many things to do, but in a way that feels anything but forced and overwhelmed. Instead, everything works together in harmony to make a truly deep and engaging game that's easy to recommend to anyone.

Ever Oasis is a queerly engrossing game that melds subpar yet thoughtful town management and puzzle RPG elements into a one-of-a-kind adventure.

There's room for Ever Oasis to further refine its basic formula, but its vision is a refreshing one that indulges the strengths of the video game medium.

With a heart-warming storyline that exudes charm and love, Ever Oasis is a stunning title in stereoscopic 3D. What it lacks in customisation and build, it makes up for in dungeon exploration. It just needs more substance to create the RPG simulation package that Animal Crossing and Mystery Dungeon fans crave. It’s like Pusheen; a bit lazy but really damn cute.

I highly recommend you play Ever Oasis, and to keep your eye on Grezzo as they have crafted a superb title that grasped me in a way I haven’t been in a very long time. Stick through some of the issues, and you will find yourself a magical adventure well deserving of your time.

Ever Oasis is a little dreaming adventure, perfectly suited for players of all ages and experience. Its being so user-friendly and easy to approach, unfortunately, comes at the expense of depth of every in-game system.

Ever Oasis exceeded my expectations. I've never been that much into Monster Hunter or Animal Crossing but Ever Oasis strikes a chord between them that bizarrely- works. Amazingly well. I can easily see myself continuing to play this game for a long time to come. Get yourself a copy now!

In an industry that so often asks you to destroy your surroundings, a game requiring you to build them up is like a glass of cool water on a hot day. But Ever Oasis is the videogame equivalent of bottled water whose label shows mountain springs even though, in truth, it's filled with local municipal tap. It's not as fancy or original as it would like you to think. But it quenches just the same.

Whether in combat or solving puzzles, as well as in management of your oasis, Ever Oasis does a nice job of being accessible yet avoids being shallow. This is not a tough game to learn the mechanics nor is it hard to make steady progress, hour after hour, and that's a good thing. It provides a charming atmosphere and a pleasant presentation that's fun to get into and hard to leave. If you're in the market for that, GREEZO's Ever Oasis makes a strong case for itself.

By mixing proven Action-RPG recipes with inspired puzzles and a slice of good-hearted life simulation, Ever Oasis already makes a refreshing cocktail. But there is more to discover under the sand of the desert than it seems, since the powerful stream of cooperation injected through the game's strata adds depth to this captivating adventure. Despite the inexplicable lack of multiplayer, such journey can be seen as a humanistic, ecological allegory from Koichi Ishii, and surely a benevolent experience, something rather rare these days.
