As a seasoned Pokémon fan who has been playing all of my life, Pokémon Café Mix feels more like a gateway game into the Pokémon universe, perhaps for a parent or older sibling looking to introduce the younger generation to gaming. While I thoroughly enjoyed this game, I feel that I am not its target audience. This is hardly a huge issue, but definitely something to consider if you’re debating playing on Switch or smartphone. Normally this wouldn’t be an issue for me, and I love this game style on my phone, but playing on a Nintendo Switch Lite created an awkward way of holding my Switch and was not the most comfortable. One aspect that I found particularly annoying was that the game has to be played on touchscreen. The only things you can buy in game are lives and extra moves, so Café Skills, menu items and new staff members are earnt, and cannot be bought. The overall difficulty of the game means it will be quite rare to run into that situation, but it’s up to you if you want to wait to try again.įortunately, you don’t need to pay to progress through the storyline, and nothing is locked behind a paywall. You can also buy more lives, if you run out of the allocated five, however these do regenerate, one life every 30 minutes.

You can buy more Golden Acorns using real currency, as is common with free-to-play games. These are the in-game currency, earnt through play with 50 per completed round with an extra 5 Acorns per extra move remaining at the end of the level. To fill up the Skill Bar, you simply need to create chains! Simple enough, right? I thought so too, but as the game progresses, you find some levels are far more difficult than others.ĭon’t despair, because you can pay 900 Golden Acorns to gain 3 extra moves. These usually involve clearing a specific area of icons and gimmicks, whether it’s a circle, to the left, right, or above, or below. On top of this, you can combine two of the same Café Skills to give it an extra boost in power, and increase the affected area.Ĭafé Skills are unique to each Pokémon staff member, who join your staff if they decide they want to help out at the café. The Burnt-Caramel Vulpix Sundae and the Hot Litwick Cocoa are the ones I’d love to try in real life they look so appetizing! Using my previous examples, Whipped Cream, when found on the board needs to have a chain made adjacent to it three times in order to break it, whereas Nuts need to have Café Skill used on them.
