- Still, this game was definitely successful overall. Due to the fact that it does so much, it’s bound to catch your interest in one way or another. And if the gameplay isn’t your cup of tea, it’s hard to say no those undeniably cute graphics.
Kenny McKee · Jul 07, 2017 Reviewed on 3DSRead full review - In the end, Ever Oasis demonstrates that the Nintendo 3DS can still deliver solid IPs. While the gameplay might be repetitive and clunky at times, the game encourages players to return, and the town building aspects are quite addicting. While the graphics are charming, they come across as dated. That said, the usage of the 3D feature was very well done.
Michael Chow · Jul 02, 2017 Reviewed on 3DSRead full review - Ever Oasis' tight blend of mechanics and activities are bound to keep you coming back for more well after completing it, if only to see what else you can do to develop your desert sanctuary. While the game's story isn't particularly moving, the consistent gratification of its incisive design makes it a satisfying adventure. Ever Oasis takes time to grow, but the return is well worth the wait.
Matt Espineli · Jun 30, 2017 Reviewed on 3DSRead full review - Yet with little actual challenge to speak of, Ever Oasis doesn't have much going for it. There aren't any tricky enemies to ward off, and the town-building simulation is shallow. It's the combination of several other genres whose best games are far, far, far more worth playing than this one. In its attempt to crib from the best, Ever Oasis never establishes its own identity.
Allegra Frank · Jun 29, 2017 Reviewed on 3DSRead full review - All in all, Ever Oasis is a neat addition to an already stacked library of games for the Nintendo 3DS. It does something different from other RPGs currently on the device through its action-styled gameplay and town-growing focus, and the end result is a unique and enjoyable romp. It’s not without its shortcomings, which appear to emanate from a lack of hardware power and the tedious nature of the various tasks – the latter of which will even appeal to some players.
Riley Little · Jun 29, 2017 Reviewed on 3DSRead full review - 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.
Autumn Fish · Jun 29, 2017 Reviewed on 3DSRead full review - In Ever Oasis you’re trying to make your oasis grow, and as you do, so does your strength, and your relationships. It’s a straight-forward, simple action RPG that takes some inspirations from Harvest Moon and The Legend of Zelda, but none of those are a bad thing. Ever Oasis feels distinct and unique enough to be its own, strong title – if you haven’t abandoned your 3DS for the Switch yet, Ever Oasis is yet another great 3DS game.
Dave Aubrey · Jun 28, 2017 Reviewed on 3DSRead full review - It’s no easy task, but Ever Oasis has managed to make me care as much about preserving my town as I do about saving the world. Despite the few odd design choices, there’s a wonderful blend of adventure and town-building where every task you tackle finds multiple ways to reward you.
Brendan Graeber · Jun 28, 2017 Reviewed on 3DSRead full review - Ever Oasis was able to blend two very different genres together well, surpassing my expectations to create one of my favorite 3DS titles in recent memory. While a few small problems did get in the way sometimes, both the oasis building and world exploring work really well.
Tomas Franzese · Jun 23, 2017 Reviewed on 3DSRead full review - 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.
