The wait has been long since we learned of its existence, but now you can have your Tamagotchi directly on your mobile and take care of it and play with it wherever you are. This is My Tamagotchi Forever, a video game that evolves what has been seen to date of the best-known virtual pet in the world. Yes, drink directly from another hit game, the well-known Pou, but the formula will hook you like the first day.
This is a simulation game in which we will take on the role of loving father/mother of a Tamagotchi.Full-time caregivers who have to ensure the nutrition, cleanliness and fun of these demanding pets. But that's not all, the game comes with many extras compared to what we already experienced in the 90s (those that we played with the original physical Tamagotchi). Elements that remind us a lot of Pou and that extend the useful life of this application, in addition to allowing Bandai to offer paid content.
As soon as we start the game we find a little tutorial in which we take care of the most charismatic Tamagotchi of all. They are just a few bars in which to find out how the feeding system works, in which it is necessary to buy food with in-game coins before feeding it, the different options that it offers us to go through the bathroom, the need to have fun playing different mini-games or the essential requirement of rest.Of course, we are also shown part of Tamatown, the friendly and colorful town where these mascots live, and which can be customized with different objects.
Of course the game mechanics have evolved. You no longer just have to click on the food or bathroom button to carry out the action and keep our being happy. As we said, it is necessary to take into account the resource of the game coins, which are used to buy different types of food that are more or less satisfying ( although they also spoil more or less) to our Tamagotchi. Inside the bathroom we find the option of going through the toilet and squeezing the being until it evicts, or giving it a shower, lathering it and rinsing it if it is dirty. In addition, when playing we find different mini-games so that the activity is not boring, including an option to play with Augmented Reality in the Pokémon GO style. All these amusements reward us with fun for the Tamagotchi and with coins to spend on food.The same goes for outdoor activities, which are accomplished by customizing Tamatown with toys and items to interact with. If we complete the photo album with these activities we will receive extra coins and new objects.
Apart from this variety of activities, My Tamagotchi Forever has a level system that tries to engage the player The more love it receives our pet, either caressing it or carrying out activities with it, the more its marker will go up. With each new level, new foods and objects with which to interact are unlocked, thus expanding the possibilities of the game. A good strategy to tempt the player and keep him active, returning every day for more to find out what awaits him in the next level.
Now this is a limited game with the free-to-play system. That is, you can enjoy it for free, but in a limited way. If you want to access certain content such as special food, you will need to spend in-game diamonds. Which are achieved only by buying them with real money. Also, the Tamagotchi's energy is limited, so either we wait some real time for it to recover, or we end up paying real money to get extra energy and continue playing with it.
In the graphical aspect there is no but for My Tamagotchi Forever, and that is that it is a really striking, attractive and colorful title. All this with 3D elements and delicate modeling of these virtual pets that are the most adorable. All beings are recognizable despite having gone from 2D formed by a few pixels to a volumetric 3D full of detail. All this running smoothly and with minimal loading times.
The game My Tamagotchi Forever is now available for both Android phones and iPhone for free, although with in-app purchases and advertisementsto get extras.
