While many simulation games focus on farming or city management, Apico's beekeeping puts an adorable bee-themed spin on mechanics. Farming and management simulation games are a great way for gamers to relax and take a break from fast-paced adventures or real-life struggles. Additionally, it can be a great way to learn about biology, shop management, and ecosystem preservation. While Apico won't have combat or dungeons to battle through, many may find the chance to keep and learn about bees a relaxing and educational change from other games.
The gameplay of Apico will be familiar to fans of titles like Stardew Valley and Minecraft. Players leave their stressful city life behind and embark on a journey to farm and revitalize vulnerable bee populations. Using numerous tools, players will be able to build hives, breed bees, harvest honest, and make products, as well as explore vast, unique biomes. Apico is similar to Minecraft's Forestry Mod, offering a similar level of complexity and attention to detail.
