Hamsters, those cuddly rodents that are smaller than guinea pigs and more socially acceptable than rats, have once again captured the hearts of mobile gamers in CDO Apps' latest release, Pocket Hamster Mania. This delightful creature collector is currently available exclusively on the French app store but is set for a major international release soon. So, what makes this game so appealing?
If you're looking for a groundbreaking twist on the creature simulation genre, you might be slightly disappointed. Pocket Hamster Mania stays true to its roots, allowing players to collect hamsters and engage them in a variety of fun activities to earn seeds. Different hamsters are better suited to specific tasks, adding a strategic layer to the gameplay. As is common in the genre, there's a gacha mechanic in place, but it's the sheer volume of content at launch that sets Pocket Hamster Mania apart. With over 50 adorable hamsters to collect, 25 activities to participate in, and five diverse environments to explore, players have plenty to unlock right from the start. CDO Apps has also promised ongoing incremental updates to keep the game fresh and engaging.
