The Island Castaway Lost World
SCORE: 69
The Island
Castaway Lost World is a game that is free to download and free to play.
The balance in The Island Castaway Lost World is where the problems
begin. Play for thirty minutes to an hour, and then you use up all your
emeralds. Come back tomorrow for a small amount of the emeralds. Or pay
real money to purchase more emeralds.
The problem with the setup of repeat pay to play apps like The Island
Castaway Lost World is you have to keep paying every so many minutes to
keep playing. Or you come back the next day, do one thing, and repeat
that process until you have enough of that resource to move forward.
The model of the freemuim app is why so many users have complained to
Family Friendly Gaming about them. All the time we hear: "I would be
willing to pay one price to buy the game and play it." Yet the industry
seems bent on going this direction. One reason is it gives them more
money.
How can The Island Castaway Lost World give them more money? Most people
in this day and age are impatient. They get addicted to a game like The
Island Castaway Lost World, and pay over and over again to keep playing.
Others will advertise it on Facebook for a few resources.
There is another group of people who will not even touch apps like The
Island Castaway Lost World. They resist letting the temptation into
their homes in the first place. Those people already decided in the
first couple of paragraphs that The Island Castaway Lost World is not
for them.
The hunting, cooking, gathering, and quest completions from the previous
games are in The Island Castaway Lost World. By the way the previous
versions were not modeled like this one. There are characters in The
Island Castaway Lost World who could use more clothes. Magical elements
with things like a witch doctor are present. They really like to use
some bad language in The Island Castaway Lost World too. At times I was
not clear what they wanted to send to hell, but they kept saying that
word.
Family Friendly Gaming was provided a modest iTunes gift card to review
The Island Castaway Lost World on the iPad. This is referenced in full
disclosure. It is interesting the government wants that said, when they
ignore the value of the work we do for reviews, news stories, etc. Its
like the government does not put any monetary value on our time/work,
just what we are given.
