Whatever they do, they do with the main purpose of having fun, and only then completing the mission. They float in the outer space without the space suits, toy with grenades and big guns, poke one another and drive complex machinery without ever getting hurt. One of the reasons the minions are so popular is because they’re little, goofy balls of laughter. I appreciate how EA made every structure description suitably minion-esque and fun to read. You can also build decorations, and they come in a great visual variety. Pinata and hammock are the simplest of distractivities you unlock pretty soon, but the rest are quite expensive and take some grinding to build. These are the points needed to level up, and further you go, the more points you will need to level up. Unlike the goods generating structures, distractivities generate party points. It is easy to miss this part behind the continuously repeating routine of collecting goods and ordering more goods, but it’s worth checking out the little nice touches EA added to its beloved characters. One gasped in awe, like “who did this?” Another started dancing, the guy I think is named Kevin said “Hello!” They laugh, say short words in their gibberish minion speak, throw their teddy bears in the air and cry when they don’t catch them, pee in the fountains and have all sort of funny accidents at work. I did not expect them to be interactive, so I had a couple of surprise giggles as they started responding to my taps.
If you are looking to interact with minions directly, you can tap them when they hang around without doing any work. However, it’s a cut scene you can skip due to the lack of the meaningful action in it whatsoever. These wish lists usually contain an X number of the regular things you build on the island, and filling in each new character with these fun things will add you the in-game currency.Įvery time you level up, Phil throws a party and you can watch the minions dance. In order to keep them happy, you need to fill in their wish list on the message board. First, there are new arrivals – the minions swimming to the shore.
The monotony of the goods crafting routine is disrupted by several fun activities. While the production of the basic goods takes 1 to 3 minutes, and you always have enough minions to accomplish the tasks, the rec center and weaponry items take a while to craft, 20-30 minutes and up. Both recreational center and the weaponry have about 8 types of goods they can produce, but they get unlocked at quite a slow pace.īesides, the goods production is tied into a tight knot of timers. The Weaponry will produce more interesting stuff like the grenades, and you do remember the minions’ passion for guns, right? Besides grenades, the Weaponry also produces blades of several types. So, you will use the bamboo planks to produce skateboards. At some point, you unlock the Recreation Center, which produces things like totems and skateboards. These are the basic elements you will need to produce more complex things in other different structures. For example, you get the coconut tree to generate coconuts, a gas swamp to generate gas, a bamboo tree to generate the bamboo planks and the giant razor shell to generate razors. The goods crafting structures come in a welcome variety, but you unlock only a few of them before the progress slows down. Build structures, activate them to produce the goods, assign minions to work on the production of the said goods, collect goods, use them to craft more complex items, repeat the circle. From there, your activities will circle around the same pattern. As Phil arrives at the island, he gets a small tiki bar, with coconut water and stuff. If you have ever played any island or city builder, you will feel quite at home in Minions Paradise. Why, it’s a game any city building fan can enjoy, irrespective of age. Not all things will be clear to kids, especially those who can’t read, so parents’ assistance is advised. The game is well optimized, quite balanced in its monetization system, and offers plenty of city-building fun for free.
I must admit EA did not limit the game to select locations for nothing.

Whoever got the news early and installed the game within the first 48 hours should have gotten a free beginner pack, or something. EA showcased Minions Paradise during this year’s E3, then soft-launched the game in select locations to test whatever they needed to test and balance whatever they needed to balance, and last Tuesday Minions Paradise launched worldwide.
