They need to get there first and that involves having buses laid on to bring them to the zoo. That comes from the pockets of your visitors but again this needs to be managed. To get anything in this game, you need money. This is a thing in Let’s Build A Zoo, you need good people and lots of them. It turns out that the undertaker was a lazy bastard and so we fired him and got a new one with more of a work ethic. Our incinerator (which is staffed by an undertaker) was up and running but the corpses weren’t clearing fast enough. We had a nightmare when our snake and duck enclosures began to look like a battle scene from Game of Thrones. Managing each species’ numbers and having enough staff to cover everywhere is an ongoing, evolving process indeed. If an enclosure gets overrun, you end up with animals dying of thirst, lots of corpses (that’ll really upset your visitors) and animals that really don’t want to breed. So, if you’re trying to get those rarer variants you’ll need lots of breeding stock and that means lots of feeding and looking after. At least that’s as close to an end goal as you’ll get. Essentially, this game is really about creating one of everything. Each animal from chickens to lions has ten variants and to get them you can either hope for the right variants to breed and maybe create what you want or you can give them a hand by moving them out of the public enclosures and into your breeding centre. They want the cool variants that you can only get through breeding the animals and hoping for new species to evolve from them. Now, these zoos don’t care about the basic geese, ducks and snakes that you’ll initially start with. You can’t just order the animals you want off of a menu, instead you either have to wait for the ones you want to show up in the rescue centre, which refreshes daily, or trade with other zoos. In terms of the animals, the game has a strong focus on conservation and ecology. The focus of the game is split between two key elements of running the zoo: the animals themselves and the infrastructure of the zoo itself. The thing is that you can’t massively go wrong so it’s not really about success and failure but rather the sort of improvement-based progression that will appeal to the OCD in us that wants us to create not just a great zoo but also an efficient and optimised one. The tutorial is brief for sure and only explains a small portion of the systems that the game employs but it gets you started.Īfter that you’re on your own though and for a while there’s a lot to learn and it’s not clear how you should proceed. A brief tutorial explains the basics by teaching you to build your main office block, an enclosure for your first animals and the supporting buildings you need while also teaching you how to get the animals and staff you need to open the zoo up and start selling tickets. Well, this game starts you off with a scrap of land and presumably some sort of license to open a zoo. The thing is, this genre works great on a PC with its mouse and keys set up but how does it fare on consoles?
