Dinkum: The Australian alternative to Animal Crossing now free on Steam

In the world of life and farming simulators, few experiences resonate as much as Animal Crossing, a game that has left an indelible mark on both casual players and enthusiasts. However, for those looking for an alternative on PC, the good news is that Dinkum, a charming farming simulation game, is available for free until April 7 on Steam.

Beware of Australian Nature

Dinkum is set on an island inspired by the Australian outback and offers a vibrant and unique experience. Unlike Animal Crossing, where the neighbors are adorable little animals, Dinkum features human characters in an environment that promises to be a bit more dangerous, as the wildlife can pose a challenge. But the little animals, although dangerous, are also adorable. This has led to positive comparisons with established titles in the genre, as can be seen in player reviews, which highlight the fun and variety of familiar mechanics for those who love Animal Crossing.

Users highlight that Dinkum captures the essence of life simulation in a more dynamic world, where half of the wildlife wants to eat you and where you can explore mines and engage in farming activities. This approach offers gamers a new layer of challenge and excitement. One review encapsulates this idea: Dinkum seems to be what would happen if Animal Crossing and Stardew Valley shared a special hug in Australia.

Additionally, until April 10, Dinkum will have a 20% discount for those who decide to purchase it after trying it during these hours. With reviews positioning it as the best Australian game on Steam, Dinkum stands out as a solid and refreshing option for all fans of life and farming simulators.
