Hooray, hooray! The Smurfs are in here! Get ready for the smurfy cuteness to invade your iPhones and iPads! If you enjoy games like We Rule and Farmville, you’ll love Smurfs’ Village even more. It’s a universal app newly released by CapcomMobile. Based on the original cartoon and comic art, this game brings back a lot of childhood memories for some of us.
Gargamel, the Smurfs’ evil villain, managed to find and destroy the Smurfs’ village. Now the Smurfs are scattered all over the forest! Your job is to help Papa Smurf rebuild a new village and reunite the others.
You start out with a plowed plot of land where you can grow berries. These berries grow in a certain amount of time. Some will grown within minutes, while others grow within a few hours. When they’re ready, harvest them to collect gold coins and gain XP. Each time you level, Papa Smurf has a new task for you. Complete his task — whether it’s building a new mushroom house, adding paths, or fences — and earn even more XP points.
What makes this game stand apart from the others is the addition of mini-games to help you earn more coins and XP. Some of the mushroom houses you can build are specialized for specific Smurfs and contain mini-games. For example, Greedy Smurf’s home is a bakery where you can help him bake cupcakes and cookies. Papa Smurf’s house is where you can make magic potions. These mini-games are available once a day. Just tap on the houses and walk inside to play. You’ll also find Jokey Smurf walking around the village. Tap on him once a day to see what sort of surprise he has in stored for you!

Smurfs’ Village is a fun feel-good game that’s near and dear to my heart (as well as Smurfy fans). It brings back memories of our childhood Saturday morning! The best part is that this is a freemium game. You can spend real money to buy smurfberries which allows you to buy extra special houses, grow your crops faster, and decorations for your village, but it’s not necessary to enjoy the game. This game is highly recommended for Smurf fans crop-harvesting-game fanatics. Have a smurfy good time playing!
