The game requires a fair bit of patience, since tasks can take days to complete, most of it done without you, and it’s hard to resist the urge to micromanage. The music is soothing, and the in-game sounds are nicely subtle. There is no zoom mechanism, which can make it difficult to grab a particular villager, but the touch screen make it easy to get around the island, and I didn’t have any issues with the sensitivity. ![]() My one complaint is that everything is very small. One nice touch: the other villagers will collect up bones and give them a proper burial in the cemetery. Build a second hut at around population 35, first hut around population 10. Then let your population grow large by changing one 18-year-old mans preference to parenting. Let the population grow to around 15 until you are able to purchase level 3 farming. I was very attached to my villagers, and I was always a little sad when I booted up the game to find a little bleached skeleton. Change 1 villager to farmer and all others to science. The graphics aren’t anything ground-breaking, 8-bit sprites against a generic tropical backgrounds but they’re still plenty attractive, and your little people are charming in a blurred sort of way. The game is definitely a balancing act, except you’re managing people, instead of resources. Leave them alone for too long, and they might starve to death. The villagers will usually keep on working once you’ve set them to a task, but you have to keep an eye on them, since they’re not very smart. It’s your responsibility to make sure they get to work, either farming, building new huts, making babies (don’t worry it’s all very PG), or researching new technology. ![]() You are an invisible god-like creature looking after a tribe of primitive castaways on a tropical island. This isn’t necessarily a bad thing, since anyone who has ever played the original can tell you that it’s a very robust little game, but if you have played it before, you may be disappointed by the lack of new content for the iPhone port.įor those not in the know, the game runs in real-time, even when you’re not playing. Unlike the first Virtual Villagers iPhone app, Virtual Villagers 2 is much more faithful to the original computer version (read: identical). ![]()
