Gamer reviews for Family Island™ - Farm game adventure
Showing all reviews:
I have really enjoyed playing this game but once you get above level 42 it is almost impossible to play unless you spend copious amounts of real money. Tasks require ridiculous amounts of resources and long time frames to make items. The amount of energy required to obtain items is outrageous. I am lucky to send off one boat each day. This game will send you broke if you decide to take the easy way and spend real money. Otherwise you sadly will probably never complete or win an island competition. Very disappointing after all the time and effort I've put into playing it for the last three years.
I have been playing Family Island for a couple of months and it is WAY too addicting. I never want to stop playing it and I have spent a LOT of money getting extra energy to finish an island event. The further you go in the game, esp with island events, there are less opportunities to get energy AND the amount of energy needed to get to the next island increases SIGNIFICANTLY. I would stay away from this if you can. I never thought I would be this addicted to a game and it's not worth the financial costs. The people who designed this game know what they are doing and greedy on top of it all.
Fun and engaging, but the $ cost to go very far in any and ALL adventures is extremely high. There are countless "pop-ups" as you progress, which may be helpful for newbies, but for me and likely anyone else who's progressed significantly in the game, they are super annoying and interfere with navigating quickly. It would be super to have a setting to control whether they appear or not. The most annoying of all is the constant offer to buy more energy EVERY SINGLE TIME you get low.
Fun but costs money to get anywhere in the game.
This game is outrageously pricey, I'm 900$ in debt because this game cost too much to play. Everything on all the islands are over priced, u mean you have to buy a lot of energy or jems to complete the island your on. Also when you do finally get a win of ruby's, if your lucky you might get 3 ruby's but paid closer to 20$ US & I'm in Canada just for 3 damn ruby's. Same when a win of energy, its not the amout you expect to win. Great game good graphics, but put a person in debt. One star from me until they lower the prices on the energy & ruby's or give a worthy amount in a win.
I love this game. You can take your time with it or go quicker. The choice is yours. Would recommend definitely
Great graphics and fun game, but it takes long to accumulate energy - why not make it 2 per minute?
The jerking when trying to get through a story is aggravating. But I guess people need to see where to go, step by step lol Other than that I even with this game for 5 years now
Love this game just having a few blips trying to figure my way around?
I really enjoy this game. It is the first and only game that I have played for several months daily and used real money on. I just wish the islands wouldn't need so much energy for each item you make and a lot of the items to move through with so little places to get energy compared to what is needed or the gates needed less to help.
I really like it but I dont have patience so I spend too much $
Brilliant game keeps me entertained all the different islands & twists & turns are great
I love it but it costs too much money to complete events .
I really enjoy playing the game, and have spent a lot of time (and money) playing it. I am, however, backing back a lot from the money thing. The adventures, as someone else has stated, are pretty fun but are impossible to complete without blowing $$$. My approach now is simply to leverage the initial few challenges to build up some energy, then devote it to "growing" home island resources.
I love the game, but it is getting too frustrating to complete tasks. The higher the level, the more energy and tools it takes to complete an adventure. It's a nuisance to have to gather a bunch of costly items to make 15 potions to complete a task. To get gifts, it takes a lot of saws or keys, which are the hardest to get, unless you want to keep paying. I have plenty of picks and shovels. Sadly, I will have to end this game; at least not play the challenges, which is the fun part.
It's okay, but kind of seems like a money grab. Just one resource can cost a ton more energy than the max energy I can have. It really makes it so you have to spend money to complete tasks.
There should definitely a button to empty the table and/or the kitchen. I have more than 10,000 energy and can‘t solve food related quests. No, I will not spoil my energy to make it work again!
Delete your app- not worth it as you are expected to pay more and more as you move on.
I think this game is a very great game love to play it I'm addicted
I like this game, but it costs way to much real life money to buy the extra energy needed to complete the timed adventures, which are near impossible to complete without extra energy!!
Like the different island. Also playable without buying stuff
I love it, but it can get quite frustrating waiting for your enery to refi
Complete divorce. I've been playing this game for a long time, I was happy, but lately it's not possible to play. There is enough energy to cut down exactly one tree, £100 is not enough for one adventure - guard!!!
The games is eventful and fun-colored. The graphics are great. The story line is meh.
Wish the adventure island quests were a week. I cannot finish in the time available
The concept of the game is really fun, and I like the story, but there are a lot of frustrating and annoying parts of the game that make gameplay difficult. Firstly, the constant pop-ups of dialogue from all of the characters is out of hand and happens so frequently that sometimes I just close the game out of frustration. I don’t need every single moment of the game guided like that with comments from the characters. It makes you lose interest. Secondly, the tasks that the game asks of you are essentially unattainable unless you want to dump copious amounts of real money into the game. Otherwise, you’d get nowhere and the tasks (primarily of upgrading all of the different machineries) pile up and just sit there and that makes you feel like all the time you’re putting into the game to advance is not working and is useless. It’s very unfortunate that that’s the case, because it really can be a fun game with really cute and wonderful graphics. But it is obvious to see that at every step of the game you are expected to put money into it, as there are constant pop-ups of “deals” for you to purchase that are suspiciously cheap but they add up very quickly because that makes you think that you’re not spending as much as you actually are. It is a sneaky and evil tactic to use to get money from your customers. I wish so bad that this game was more user friendly when it comes to making it possible for the players to advance without putting in money, and making the tasks realistic based on how difficult it can be to attain the objects to complete them. My review would have been so much better if these problems weren’t present.
I've been on this game for many years. Hense the dopamine. I've spent soooo much money just trying to win in top 3 position. Don't do it my friends. It's truly not worth all the money to actually get nowhere. Find something g else to entertain your time. Don't spend money. You will regret it every time you purchase more in this game. There is more to life.
I think the items you need are a lot and cost a lot of energy that you can’t get so it takes forever to get through! Right now I’m trying to Break the pin yada by the Happy spirits house and I don’t even know what I need to do it when I click on it it just shows how much it cost to clear it and I can’t see what I need when the picture pops up so it’s very irritating
This is a fun game but the makers have restricted it too much meaning you can only get enough energy to do a few things then need to keep coming back regularly as in minutes all day and night if you want to get anywhere fast. They should consider making it so the player is able to have a fun time for an hour or so and then want to come back every few hours or a few times a day. It’s so so time consuming this way that although I’m on level 19 only because I got covid and had the time, now I’m better I don’t have that time to be checking into it regularly all day. It’s a shame because it it wasn’t so restricted I’d buy energy and things and keep playing once or twice a day. There’s so much to clear that this game would take me many months to clear an island …. So will stop playing now. I can see many others saying a similar thing about being too time consuming. The makers of this game need to remember that people have to do other things in life in between things like this game so to get people committing and recommending, make it far less time consuming and have the ability to get a good session not have to keep coming back within minutes all day every day.
There should be guide which answers vauge tips you get when game is loading.
Otherwise I love this game.
Pretty fun game and I love playing it pass time when I have nothing to do...
Very good, addictive game!!
But it's hard to get help
Family always full. Can't complete task or clear table. Seems like everyone is having the same problem.
Tedious game ever, throttles your progression, adverts are nightmare , in 10 min play have 7 ad pop ups, soon as game starts have to blast though 3 ingame money grab popups before hit with the ads which you have to see to get energy as everything is expensive on energy and becareful on miss hits, like mycafe they use the "hyper sensitive screen touch" method in hope of accidental clicks to wipe your energy. But the ingame pop ups are driving me crazy.
The continual popups are making this game too aggravating to play. Players know where to go if they want to spend money. Good grief, give it a break!!
Too expensive, why do we need to waste 255 energy to remove a big rock? 155 energy to chop a tree down? Cooking for energy is aggravating. Everything needs a saw, pick axe, key or excessive energy to play.
A smart game that gives me pleasure.
I never get bored with this game. All of my family members Love to play this game. Thanks developers for creating such amazing game.
The task is becoming too difficult to accomplish. I am a level 42 player and I quitting.
You should make it so that you can cancel making an item. I hate how you can want to make a rope and u accidentally click something else and you waste all ur items on something you don’t need to make and u can’t cancel making something.
Everygry takes forever to regenerate, if your storage if full when you clear something it makes these little gifts so that you can pick it up after you clear you storage. Except all these little gifts often land behind trees and you can't get to them without cutting the trees. Soooooo annoying!
I love this game though sometimes it takes ages just to get a product made. The father always seems to fall down! Why is this? Beautiful graphics and I love the sounds of the birds and waves.
The most annoying, frustrating and idiotic game I’ve tried to,play. You have to produce items which then removes them from other tasks and end up robbing Peter to pay Paul. There’s no respite, there’s too much going off all at once with diabolical energy limits. It’s non stop 24/7 is this game.
I love this game I think everything cost way too much Energy! Also the amount of items you need for some of the tasks, like 50 logs etc. it’s just way too much to expect! One other thing, if you don’t play this game for almost the entire time allowed in the events, you can’t even come close to finishing it…SO frustrating!
It is an entertaining, interactive game; however, it is ridiculous that there is never a cooling-off period between events.
Additionally, it would be great IF YOU ALL WOULD FINISH HOME ISLAND so we can get to the upper levels. Also, would it kill your bank account to include some way of speeding up item production without having to buy rubies?
The game’s infuriating as it doesn’t end the home island.
Enjoyable. As a F2P player there's a LOT of waiting for Energy to replenish, and some resources take more than 15 minutes to be created (planks, clay bowls, meals, etc) and no way to speed it up without buying Rubies. So, even though I'm a bit frustrated I'm still playing, so that says something! I just wish there was a faster way to replenish Energy, I'm always running out and forced to stop.
Love it keeps me not going batty during lockdown
Fantastic - addictive - but a little perplexing when it takes so long to make the items required for certain game challenges.
It would be a lot better if you didn't have to wait days or weeks for the golden tools. I've been trying to get golden saws for a long time now. I can seem to get them. So I can't get my 8 ball thing.
I like the game but wish Main Island 2nd set of stairs heading up would actually work and players could have the ability to travel up there. Also up the energy rebuild. Not everyone is rich and keep buying the extra packages. Thank you!
Focus less on all the missions and finish the main Island.
I played this game for a while and I never had any problems with it up until the contemplation island I earned the gifts at the top of the island then I was told to go back to the home island and put up a tree there and I did and I still had a minute left to go back to contemplation island and the game kept going in and out saying "oops something went wrong" and I was unable to collect the gifts. When I contacted customer service they said there wasn't a way to bring the island back or give me the gifts even though I earned them. Don't waste your time on this game.
I love it. Especially the new spring island. Heaps of rewards and the graphics are amazing
It's a fun game. It's very interactive, and it's captivating. I enjoy building all the different production lines; I enjoy visiting all of the different islands, and accomplishing all of the tasks assigned.
Great game- have enjoyed playing. Love the island quests and the constant role play from the characters.
Love the game but there needs to be other ways of getting what you need. The shaman cheats you by giving istones
Very good game addicting wish you could get energy a lot easier
Love the game just need more time with the shamons
Good game but very difficult to upgrade machines
I have been playing this game for a while now and I’m about to stop playing! The goals are way to hard to achieve because you can’t get energy! The other islands that open up u can’t even enjoy them or get very far because once again u don’t get energy enough to complete the goals so it’s impossible! Like the game but I’m done with having to struggle getting things done! It’s a game it shouldn’t be this hard to be able to play makes me want to stop and find something else to play! Half a star just because I do like the game!
It takes way to much energy to do anything in this game almost impossible to complete all quests and also takes way too many materials to build things and keep fixing the toilet and shower grrrr
Starts off very good, but each level requires so many items to complete, makes it. Frustrating and slow waiting for energy to build up.
I like this game, but it got some problem, have to load in many time.
I love the game, there is always something to do. I do hate running out of energy so fast and having to use so many supplies for upgrades. Other than that it's great and of course that does NOT keep me from playing. I would play continuously if I could keep enough energy. it's highly addictive and so much fun.
I really enjoy this game. I wasn't sure about it at first, but now, I'm hooked.
Amazing graphics, great story line with interesting, cute, and relatable characters. This game has everything going for it except one... That nagging lack of energy we see in far too many games. This one tries to hide that by throwing energy at you often, but it gets used far faster than it is received. Still, a very enjoyable game that i plan to stick with for a while.
I really like this game, hours of fun playing.
No idea how to contact Melsoft, website is russian or something. Free energy not working “oops something went wrong”- same thing with opening chests for free. Meat from rooster is not added when collected from rooster. They’re too expensive too.
Was good until they started forcing more money from you. Literally require items from Palm Trees that you can't reach and are not available on any island. It's theft if you ask me.
Can’t give it a 5. Too many issues. Game won’t open most of the time. Love playing it when it does work.
I like this game, the energy doesn't last long at all, and no I'm not going to buy it. I also would like to know what the plants contain so I know what ones to cut down.
I love the game but I think it’s definitely made for use with purchases with real money.
30 items for one upgrade might as well be 100 ! When there’s two other items as well.
It’s disheartening so soon in the game. Same with the shamans trade shop.. 5 steaks! and only one rooster!!
I hope l don get bored
Love the game. LOVE it. Get a little frustrated trying to accomplish some of the tasks. They take soooo long. Not sure what to do about the disappearance of Treasure island
It is hard to make any real progress on the other islands... they are a waste unless you are grabbing resources for the main island
There is a loop in fixing the stairs & totem of happiness on level 19
There should be a guide for all the stuff in the game so we can understand from the begging what's going on and how the game works. Until now I haven't find anything complete online and I try to discover the game on my own.
I love it! It is an awesome game. Already addicted.
I love this game and it's addictive. There's always something to do to keep me busy and the music is wonderful.
Runs beautifully, just wish things were actually available when buildings say they're needed for upgrade, yet the island it says to get it from, doesn't exist. I.E. Time Spheres from Treasure Island. That island doesn't exist.
I love it. Just sometimes updating requires a lot of things.
its a puzzle you cant get the machines that are needed in that level i started over was on level 24 because they didn't give me the machine that makes butter or soap so far has a rate on this game its a one so far do to the problem with the machines
