  • Cute and relaxing gameplay with charming pixel art and adorable baby animals.
  • Addictive and fun time-killer with a good variety of animals to discover and zoo expansion features.
  • Well-crafted typical Kairosoft style management game that is easy to pick up and enjoy at a casual pace.
  • Animal negotiation minigame is frustrating, RNG-based, and lacks clear feedback, detracting from the experience.
  • Economy is difficult to manage due to high maintenance and food costs, causing slow progression and frequent money shortages.
  • Limited building opportunities as new facilities can only be purchased once per year, reducing zoo customization and satisfaction.

  • gameplay

    10 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    30% positive mentions, 40% neutral mentions, 30% negative mentions

    Gameplay receives mixed reviews, with praise for its addictive, simple mechanics and engaging design between menu interactions, but criticism for repetitive elements, unclear explanations of some mechanics, and frustrating or poorly implemented features like the negotiation minigame and lack of options to manage unwanted animals. Some users find it slow or difficult to progress, impacting overall enjoyment.

    • “I liked this a lot, just enough design and active gameplay in between the menu gameplay as well.”
    • “Typical Kairosoft 'making you addicted to simple gaming mechanics' games and they're totally worth the money.”
    • “Spent a good 48 hours of gameplay to reach a 5 stars zoo.”
    • “I just wish there was a way to sell or release unwanted animals, and there was a more clear description on how to get to most of the game mechanics.”
    • “Ooh I really wanted to like this one, but they centered the worst game mechanic that's ever appeared in any Kairosoft game: Cafeteria Nipponica's 'negotiation' minigame.”
    • “Gameplay is very repetitive without much to do between expeditions.”

  • story

    6 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    50% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 50% negative mentions

    The story element offers enjoyable exploration and zoo-building but is generally considered less engaging compared to other Kairosoft titles like Camp Story and Cafe Story. While fans of similar games or specific themes (e.g., hot spring or tropical resort) may appreciate it, the narrative lacks the depth and appeal found in some previous entries.

    • “If you want to play a Kairosoft game that's awesome, try the Tropical Resort Story.”
    • “Had more fun with Boxing Story.”
    • “If you like Hot Spring Story, you will like this.”
    • “It's cool to explore and find new animals and grow your zoo, of course, but I feel like compared to Camp Story and Cafe Story, especially this one falls short.”
    • “It's cool to explore and find new animals and grow your zoo, of course, but I feel like compared to Camp Story and Cafe Story, especially this one falls short.”
    • “I'm waiting for Kairosoft to return to the cruise ship story type of games.”
