Initial Heartopia Thoughts
From what we know about Heartopia so far, I’m quite excited to check it out properly when it launches. Of course, I’ll see if I can squeeze in some time to participate in the final test event however, for the most part, Heartopia looks promising for the outside.
Without having looked at either of the testing events just yet, everything I know is based on the written content I’ve read about the game and the videos shared by the Heartopia Team. I love the theme for the game as well as it being a free-to-play game (with optional in-game purchases) but also that it will be multiplayer and cross-platform. Something I know many of my friends will be excited to try out.
The art style and overall graphics looks cute and adorable and certainly fit with the Heartopia name. I’m curious to see how the different hobbies work and just how much there is to explore. I do like the idea of the fact you just play at your own pace and there’s no added daily tasks or even stamina involved. You just go with the flow, ultimately. It does sound like a game you’ll be able to easily pick up and jump back into as and when you are able to with no concerns of falling behind.
Of course, that’s not all!
Building my dream home will be a must naturally, and I’m intrigued to see how the building mechanics work likewise with the various outfit choices we will have to be able to explore!
I’ll be doing my best to jump into the final testing event while I can, however, you can certainly expect more Heartopia content when the game launches!
