3DS: Ever Oasis (Nintendo)

Here’s what the expert jury had to say: In a building simulation of sorts, the player must help an oasis grow and flourish by diligently managing the oasis to attract desert dwellers, who in turn help create an increasingly colorful and attractive settlement. The necessary resources are obtained through expeditions into the treacherous desert, which take the form of a classic action role-playing game interspersed with combat. An enchanting Oriental fantasy tale that never overwhelms the player and rewards them with many hours of play for their attentive and thoughtful efforts.
