Ever Oasis is a decent game for a younger audience to get into, but it doesn't do a lot that's completely new. It blends the adventuring with town management nicely and is a well made game, but at the same time there's nothing that really thrilled me while playing it. It's a shame really, as there's nothing necessarily wrong with Ever Oasis, there's just nothing particularly special either.

Although Ever Oasis is a beutiful and well designed action-rpg it's feels extremely simple and has nothing new for the genre fans.

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.

Ever Oasis is an intriguing blend of genres that serves as an interesting proof of concept, but is far too bland and repetitive to be a classic of the ARPG genre.

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.

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.

Ever Oasis is a perfect blend of management simulator and action-RPG.  Despite being on a handheld, this deep RPG's stylish presentation and many gameplay systems come together in a way that few games do.

Unlike the deserts that surround your civilisation, Ever Oasis is far from barren.

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 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.

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.

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.
