User blog:NinSuperPlayer/Tribal Island Review

Tribal Island, the new Island added in 1.3.5 is pretty great. The way how this island works, you need someone to create a tribe. It could be you, or a friend. You then recruit members and add up to 29 friends for your tribe. Each player gets to choose one monster that has not been chosen alerady. Each member's goal is to feed their monster to as high of a level as possible, and reach level goals for the accumalative total of levels in the tribe. The higher level your tribe, the higher up you'll get on the leaderboards!

I love this island for how well-thought out the system is. Making sure that if anyone takes up a spot without feeding, you can kick them from the group. This island revolves around feeding (I'll  get to it in a sec), but no coins are earned here. One of the only things that bothers me about this island is that the rewards seem a bit small.

Here is my only real complaint; the feeding prices are extremely unreasonable. Pretty fast after level 15, it costs way too many coins/gems/food to level up your monster. The only sane method of feeding is with shards. Not to big of a deal, but I currently only play on my New Game. I haven't gotten any ethereals on this game yet. But I can wait for the next Breeding Bonanza. :)

I love the song. It sounds great. Feel like the Congle is stealing the glory by singing for absolutely no reason, haha. I like the rythm in the beginning, and almost everything about the song sounds great to me. It actually makes me like the scups for once! I like Kayna's contribution to the song, sounds much clearer and more refined than it did in the Tribal Island Teaser Trailer. Currently my favorite song in the game! :)

Last but not least, the animations. This island is kind of different with it's animations. Nice extras like the toe jammer getting kind of googley- eyed, clamble getting dizzy, pompom a little over-excited, and scups almost falling over. There's tons more, but I'd need a bigger list to fit them all. I really adore that aspect of this island. What bugs me about the animations is that it seems like they were a bit rushed. Riff's doesn't loop very well, Entbrat's mouth doesn't sync to well, and pompom jumps really fast at the end of the song. I can overlook that, though.

The effort and skill of the monster handlers at BBB was definetely well-spent on this island! Overall I give this update a 9/10.
