Deiland: Pocket Planet

It's a alright game but, suffers from game breaking bugs that will probably never be fixed.

Deiland Pocket Planet is a mild and relatively short farming game, with many planting seeds, a few sheep and bees to watch for, some basic gadgets to develop and upgrade, some mostly friendly folks to meet and help to (and to receive help in return), and also, to ease up the stupid nightmares, and shoo away the 'monsters' from under the bed. In other words, it's a small indie title, well approved for kids of nearly any age, to play in short sessions and take it easy. The game was in the long development, and suffered 2 recreations, while the developer was training his arm to make all things right. Thus, many people who saw the first two iterations, wrote some disappointed reviews. But since I only saw the last version, and it worked fine to me, without any considerable bugs, or something really unpleasant, I can fairly vouch for this game as a 'good experience'. There is not much going on, though, and the technical side of the game, as well as its complexity, is somewhere on the level of games I played about 20-25 years ago, so... My mark is 6.5/10. Give it to a 3-10 y.o. kid, or play it yourself, as a rather easy to complete and mind-relaxing amusement, for the times when you're not ready to conquer the worlds.

I liked the gameplay, mostly. Unfortunately, it was really buggy. It kept spawning me in the middle of nothingness when I would go into the mine, or onto the first planet, and because you can't manually save before doing these things, it automatically takes you to the end of the action and then you have to wait for ages for the next opportunity to arise to try it again. And after applying the recommended fixes, it wouldn't register my controller most of the time. So, I never actually got to see if those fixes actually worked. After 5 hours of patiently waiting for the next opportunity to try things, over and over again, I had had enough. It was so disappointing. If you can play without bugginess, I only got to see whatever happens storywise prior to the first planet, but it was simple and cute and probably would have been right up my alley. Farming, fishing, exploring, quests, a tiny bit of simple fighting, advancements, crafting...

Deiland: Pocket Planet is a good farming game with some nice graphics and a relaxing ambiant. I recommend it!!! 💗💗💗

[h1] Невероятно уютно [/h1] Замечательная расслабляющая игра, с которой началось моё знакомство с проектами студии Chibig. Жаль, что у игры много отрицательных отзывов, она совсем такого не заслужила. Это бесконечно добрая и уютная игра, явно вдохновлённая известной сказкой о Маленьком Принце, которая погружает игрока в волшебную историю о защите необычайно маленькой планеты. Да, во многом игра по-детски наивна, но в этом и заключается вся её прелесть, игра совсем не нагружает и в некотором смысле даже дарит чувство погружения в беззаботное детство. Эта игра особенно хорошо подойдёт для прохождения в тяжёлый период жизни, здесь всё просто и при этом невероятно душевно. Заваривайте ароматный чай и насладитесь этой чудесной сказкой.

Die Rezension du Deiland:Pocket Planet fällt mir wirklich nicht leicht. Ich bin ein großer Fan der Chibig Spiele, und vor allem Deiland hatte ich noch von damals gut in Erinnerung. Denn : Deiland fing einmal an als Handygame. Das Spiel hat sich seit dem nicht so sehr verändert. Die Story ist ein bisschen größer geworden, es gibt mehr Charaktere und das Energie Design wurde geändert. (Früher war es so wie in anderen Handygames, man hatte nur begrenze Energie und musste dann so und so viele Minuten warten bis man wieder einen Energiepunkt hatte). Grafisch ist Deiland eher weich gezeichnet. Selbst die Monster sehen jetzt nicht sonderlich böse aus. Ganz der Charme der Chibigs eben. Im Prinzip würde ich Deiland als Cozy Game bezeichnen, wenn ich zwischendurch nicht absolut genervt von den Quests gewesen wäre. Denn um an neue Quests zu kommen,oder alte abzuschließen, seid ihr auf den Besuch der verschiedenen Charaktere angewiesen. Und das kann im schlimmsten Fall EWIG dauern... Ebenso verhält es sich mit den Jahreszeiten. Auch wenn diese sehr hübsch umgesetzt sind, und auch das bestellen der Felder oder die Pflanzen auf eurem Planeten sich den jeweiligen Jahreszeiten anpassen, ist dies manchmal auch ziemlich anstrengend gewesen. Der Planet ist ja nun auch nicht der größte, um ihn komplett zu "Erkunden" reicht ne Minute. Nach und nach werden noch einige weitere Orte offenbart wie z.B neue Planeten. Die Story ist anfangs noch liebevoll geschrieben, die deutsche Übersetzung passte auch ganz gut. Die Quests der verschiedenen Charaktere waren anfangs auch noch nachvollziehbar. Aber alles änderte sich, nachdem man die "Hauptquest" beendet hatte..zumindest kamen mal Credits. Offenbar wurde dann die überarbeitete Version einfach hinten dran gehängt..Plötzlich war die deutsche Übersetzung der Quests stellenweise absoluter Müll, der Inhalt der Quests wurde immer Skurriler und der Ursprung allen Bösen des Games bis auf eine Randbemerkung einfach totgeschwiegen. Kann man so machen, muss man aber nicht. Da ich ja immer versucht bin alle Erfolge zu sammeln, hab ich mich da halt so durchgebissen....fast 20 Stunden! Wirklich Spaß gemacht hat es irgendwann nicht mehr. Sehr schade denn Deiland hätte wirklich viel Potenzial gehabt sich in die Erfolgsgeschichte der Chibig Spiele einzureihen. Lange Rede kurzer Sinn, eine wirkliche Kaufempfehlung würde ich hier nicht 100% aussprechen. Aber trotz der vielen Bugs, der zum Ende hin seltsamen Story und allem anderen liebe ich dieses Spiel und würde es mir jederzeit wieder kaufen, einfach wegen der Kindheitserinnerungen und weil ich die Chibig Spiele super finde. Eure Entscheidung <3

Juego muy entretenido, con un estilo visual simple pero atractivo, que destaca por su larga duración si quieres acabarlo por completo, pero que puede resultar algo tedioso para aquellos que no tengan paciencia a la hora de ir recolectando poco a poco todo lo que se va necesitando para hacer avanzar la historia y los personajes, que me han parecido muy simpáticos. Todo lo demás, incluyendo efectos de sonido y banda sonora, excelente. Recomiendo comprarlo... y disfrutarlo, porque le vas a echar unas cuantas horas. Te lo aseguro.

Giving a positive review, but the game has flaws. Overall you will experience 10-15 hours of mostly fun and easy grind, with base building, farming, fighting, etc. Recommended for kids. Good music and art. Clearly inspired by "The Little Prince", which is great. Main plot is not finished (hooks like this probably mean game part 2... which will never happen), although each character storyline can be cleared. Feels like the game could be way bigger with more planets to go.

Deiland: Pocket Planet Edition is a gentle and imaginative life-simulation adventure that centers on the simple but endearing idea of living on a world small enough to hold in your hands. Developed and published by Chibig, the game invites players into a relaxed, story-driven experience where farming, crafting, exploration, and light combat all unfold on a tiny spherical planet. Rather than overwhelming players with complex systems or dense mechanics, Deiland focuses on creating a calm, almost meditative rhythm that emphasizes routine, growth, and the quiet satisfaction of shaping a world through small, deliberate actions. The game places you in the role of Arco, a young boy tasked with caring for a mysterious pocket planet. From the beginning, the sense of scale is immediately striking: your entire world can be rotated at will, allowing you to view and interact with every corner of the terrain. This physical intimacy with the environment gives the game a distinctive feel, making each tree chopped, crop planted, or stone mined feel personal and tangible. Progress is steady rather than rushed, encouraging players to settle into a daily routine of tending crops, gathering materials, and preparing for the arrival of visitors who drift in from the stars. Visually, Deiland: Pocket Planet Edition leans into a bright, colorful art style that reinforces its cozy tone. The environments are simple but expressive, with clear shapes and cheerful colors that keep the planet feeling alive despite its small size. Seasonal changes, growing crops, and expanding structures gradually transform the planet, giving a strong sense of visual progression over time. The soundtrack complements this presentation with soft, soothing melodies that fade naturally into the background, helping establish an atmosphere that feels comforting and unhurried rather than demanding constant attention. Gameplay systems are broad but intentionally lightweight. Farming allows you to plant and harvest a variety of crops, while mining, fishing, and woodcutting provide the resources needed for crafting tools, weapons, and structures. Combat exists, but it is clearly not the main focus, functioning more as an occasional obstacle than a central pillar of the experience. Enemies are simple and encounters are brief, reinforcing the idea that Deiland is more about coexistence and stewardship than conflict. As Arco gains experience from daily tasks, players can level up and choose perks that slightly shape their playstyle, adding a mild role-playing layer that rewards consistency and long-term planning. One of the game’s more charming elements is its cast of visiting characters. NPCs arrive sporadically by spaceship, each bringing quests, personality, and fragments of a larger narrative that hints at a broader universe beyond your tiny planet. These interactions give purpose to many of the game’s tasks, as fulfilling requests often unlocks new mechanics or story beats. However, the unpredictable nature of these visits can sometimes disrupt the pacing, as progression may stall while waiting for a specific character to return. This design choice reinforces the relaxed tone but can occasionally feel restrictive for players eager to move forward. As the hours pass, the game’s limitations become more noticeable. While the core loop is pleasant, some systems lack depth, and certain activities can feel repetitive once their novelty wears off. Combat remains simplistic throughout, and some mechanics could benefit from clearer explanations or additional refinement. The story, while charming in its presentation, unfolds in a fragmented manner and may leave players wishing for deeper character development or a more conclusive narrative arc by the end of the journey. Despite these shortcomings, Deiland: Pocket Planet Edition succeeds in delivering a distinctive experience defined by warmth and simplicity. It is not a game designed for optimization, challenge, or endless progression, but rather one meant to be enjoyed slowly, in short sessions or relaxed stretches of play. Its charm lies in the act of caring for something small and watching it grow, not through dramatic twists, but through consistent, gentle effort. In the end, Deiland: Pocket Planet Edition stands as a cozy, heartfelt life-sim that prioritizes atmosphere and accessibility over depth and complexity. It may not satisfy players seeking intricate systems or long-term replayability, but for those drawn to calm routines, charming visuals, and the fantasy of nurturing a tiny world of your own, it offers a uniquely soothing and memorable experience. Rating: 6/10
