Hello Kitty Dream Village Reviews

by Kittybean420

i don’t even know where to start. first, the chat board is unmoderated and extremely DANGEROUS for young people. this game is rated 4+ but has plenty of dangerous people on it who i especially wouldn’t want anyone under 18 interacting with. the chat board is unmoderated and for the most part, people who do shockingly harmful things in chat are not banned from the game. it seems like actual hate speech, racism, homophobia, etc. is just not going to get you banned. how do you get banned from the game, you ask? well, people who speak out against scammers and people who speak out against harmful chat board posts, people who attempt to get a refund after being scammed by this game, and people who speak out against bullying, all have been banned before in front of my eyes. this game will STEAL real money from you. they don’t care to apologize or refund you either, they just ban you. i don’t even know how to leave a decent review with enough warnings in it, i’m just so angry. this game is completely backwards and they do not care about their supporters or fans. if you haven’t already started playing this game, stay away from it unless you want to get robbed and ignored and see actually traumatizing things on the wildly unmoderated chat board daily.

NOT 4+ as it promotes gambling in the game with no way to realistically achieve any kind of free to play activity without getting extra frustrated. The language and bullying in the board is extreme too and no way is it even for under 13 years old. On top of that, the developers take your money and run with it. BEWARE. I am not the only one. Others have spent hundreds of dollars of real money too and gotten no service support for game crashes and bugs. The game makes multiple unauthorized charges and the management claims no responsibility. When a player tries to contest the charge ($1k! x2) with the credit card issuer, the game developer suspended her account as retribution. Not a single of their “management team” in HelloKittyDreamVillage has bothered to respond properly and take responsibility for all their fails. So yes download and play HelloKittyDreamVillage if you wanna encourage gambling in young ones and want them to learn how to be an online bully and be vulgar online. You can also get defrauded too. Wheeee

I’ve officially had it with this game. Cocone is being incredibly greedy and today is the last straw. They do not care about creating a safe space for players, there are no mods, and this game is absolutely NOT free to play friendly. Cocone you have become a horrible company offering absolutely nothing to paying players. The interface is dated. And the strawberry milk “perks” are a joke you’re literally paying 100 to get access to content you still have to pay for. I will no longer be playing HSD and I encourage all that are considering it to not be baited by the cute Sanrio characters because this game will leave you completely broke with their horrible pricing. Not to mention the random 48hr content they shove down your throat to pressure you to spend more. It is cruel and honestly vile considering the state of the world since the pandemic hit. Many people are still struggling to get by and want to find things they can enjoy for a time this game did just that but I soon learned they were just money hungry. DO NOT PLAY

Dont get me wrong, I love love love this game. But the price point for these gachas as well as the coins is overpriced. In order to do a 7xpull you need to at least spend 1k coins and getting thise coins is not easy. I have to grind in the game literally all day in order to do a 7x pull. Each quest gives you 2 coins. Watering gets you even less! 1 coin? And to put a 100 earning cap each day is ridiculous. Also, they have a reward tier system in which if you spend a certain amount of money ($100) it brings you to a tier with benefits as well as having access to a Sweets Collection gacha that other users who dont spend money in game, dont have access to. HOWEVER, your tier resets every month. So once the Sweet Collections gacha theme is gone for the month and a new one begins, you have to spend an ADDITIONAL $100 that month in order to be brought back up to the tier again to pull from that special gacha. PLEASE! Lower the prices of coins, make the ability to earn coins easier, get rid of the tier system OR better yet, not reset it every month for your players. It saddens me that this is a big money grab game targeted towards 4+ yr olds who might have access to their parents money. I want HelloKittyDreamVillage to be successful but your players will feel better about spending money in game if its made to be more affordable. Players need to play in order for HelloKittyDreamVillage to be successful right? Make it more affordable AND fairer for your users

I’ve been playing hsd since last june, and I’ve enjoyed it. however, it is very clear that the devs do not care for/listen to their playerbase, and the game is slowly becoming less and less f2p friendly. just recently, the amount of parties you can attend has been limited to 50 a day, meaning that players trying to make coins from attending are now limited to a certain amount each day. no one asked for this. it is not necessary and only hurts the players.
surveys for the playerbase to fill out are sent out regularly, yet it seems as if our thoughts are not valued at all because no meaningful (and needed) changes have come to hsd. this game has a lot of potential but the lack of communication between players and devs seems to hold it back exponentially. I genuinely hope for improvements in the near future, but from the looks of things i am not too confident.

I love Sanrio so I was very excited to play this game.. took some time to figure out tbh. I got it and didn’t play for like a week but when I started I got really into it.. This game should be five stars but it has a lot of features I do not like(unfair). Basically they just want money and do not care about players. Just the fact that you have to pay up to 200 a month to get the sweet collection is ridiculous!! The most to spend is 500 a month to be at the top which is strawberry cake. You don’t have to put money into the game to play but you’d have to play all day to even get a 7x on the happy bags, and then do it again and again because you get A LOT of the same items. Now let’s talk about events they’re basically just to get you to spend money because the prices on the items are just too expensive so you have to as they say in game grind for coins all day all the time. Now the actual game play with the characters are just them asking you to get them ingredients. It is very boring and completing them will only give you 1-5 coins. That is not a lot especially when you have to use cookies to get them the items and you only have five of them. This game just has a lot of work to do also it’s always glitchy!! I hope they listen to players and fix things in the future because I want to enjoy the game.

by It Doesn't Work :(

This game looks perfect for Kawaii and Sanrio Lovers on the outside but unless you plan on spending a ridiculous amount of money on a regular basis I don’t really recommend it other then a background app you forgot you have and check up on every few months. Most things in this game our pay real money to get and it’s hard to earn in game currency too. Trading in this game is also abysmal and there’s no option to get rid of items you have no one need or want for. They used to have some kind of daily gotcha ticket thing but after that ended there was really no point in playing since I have no intentions on spending literally hundreds of dollars for a virtual dress or stuffed animal when in all reality I collect sanrio in real life and would rather spend that money on collectibles that are going in my actual room! I would recommend you do the same as well.

i love this game, the community is amazing, and the bags are super cute, but there is many things i hate about it. first off, STOP OVERPRICING THINGS. how do you expect people to spend 500+ dollars every month for a special bag? HelloKittyDreamVillage is supposed to be for children, and children obviously don't have that kind of money. you also add paywalls and short deadlines for events and bags, what's up with that? it's hard enough for f2p players to make coins as it is. second, this game is VERY buggy at times. many people including myself have complained about the game crashing. the main problems with crashing is when someone is decorating their house or when multiple pop-up windows occur, restarting the game. it makes the game so hard to play because it could crash at any time. this company only cares about making money instead of making their game actually playable. another thing, there's no moderation. on the chat board, multiple trolls and scammers get away with ruining the game for everyone. there are no admins and they almost never get banned. other than this, the game is okay. i recommend it if you love sanrio, but beware.

by Gingrujbg

This is a very cute idea, I love sanrio and decorating and dressing up. I like all the items that i have and I feel like its not forcing me to spend my money. Theres one major issue however, crashing. This game crashes A LOT. For example, I load in the game and press the quest button. All of a sudden the sound glitches out and just exits the game. I’m pretty sure its not my fault considering other people have experienced this too and none of my other games do this. Its come to a point that I dont even know if its gonna work half the time I open it. Also if I were to put a video on the side of my screen and open the game it just immediately crash. The second major issue is that whenever there is an event and I press on it, It just freezes and gets stuck loading. Meaning I cant participate in any events. Theres also tiny issues like how when visiting houses it takes a long time for them to load in, and how the translation is off. Overall the game is great but I cant keep playing it if it crashes everytime I open it.

I attest to the good things written about this game BUT I also agree with the sentiment that the game's currency is WAY to expensive. Even more so the prices in which they compare in-game currency to real currency is insane. $1 for 60 coins that take you approximately 3 hours to achieve in game is unreasonable. The $1, $5, and $10 only gives you 1 extra bonus coin which is not even a bonus. And getting coins through the game takes way to much time, max stamina = 100, 3 stamina = 1 coin. So in 1 hour you COULD possibly get 33 coins? This game just goes to show that it is obviously encouraging you to pay to play as it put in clear signs that gaining coins would take a lot of your time. If they adjust the rates and the ratio to be more fair to players who don't choose to pay, I would update my review.

So, I have a couple problems with this game. I have no idea what the Japanese version is like and I know the US version is still new so maybe that’s why.

Issue 1: Strawberry Club
While I understand money has to be made and there are no ads (thank you for that), the pricing for Strawberry Club tiers is ridiculous. I could see it if it was something that accumulated and stayed over time, but paying $500 a month just to have it reset the next month? Insane. While I’m sure there are a few that might, the average person is not going to have that to spend each month. Especially on a game lacking things like a proper way to chat and a decent trade system. I was going to put money into it but not if it’s basically going to waste.

Issue 2: Earning coins
I really wish there were more ways to earn coins. I’m not afraid to grind, but there’s really no way to do that (unless you want to spend money, of course). I wish there was a game or two to play. Or heck, even an option to watch ads. I don’t know, just /something/ else would be nice. Unless this is meant to be an idle game, I’ve started getting bored because I run out of things to do quickly.

Overall, I get it. Money has to be made. But because of these issues (and more that other reviews have covered) I’m kinda starting to lose interest. Please add more things to do :(

this game is so cute, i love sanrio and it’s the perfect comfort game for me. the bags are adorable, but I have one complaint. I get that you need to make money, but PLEASE make this game fairer for free to play players. the fact that you have to spend $100 EACH MONTH to get the sweet collection items and other items hidden behind a pay wall is ridiculous. this game obviously wants you to spend money based on how long it takes you to earn coins. at least make it easier, because it’s really annoying to grind all day getting enough coins to do the 7x pull and not even getting a single SR or R. even pulling once is expensive, and frustrating to get a duplicate item. let us be able to sell our duplicate items at least! please listen to your players and make this game fairer to f2p players since not everyone can afford these prices, especially for a game marketed towards children.

by Animalcrossing233

The game is good, and I’d like to see more Sanrio characters and possibly more places to move around in, but my biggest issue is the community. It can get really, REALLY, inappropriate… I report people for their actions, but it never really works… I’d like to see a quicker reaction on some people I report from the admins, because I know that the admins do have accounts to interact with people playing. When I’m out watering, I find it troubling when I see someone’s bio. It can have off-site websites, foul language, even personal info… I don’t appreciate the lack of ignorance to the rules that have been set, I can’t report people from their accounts, and I’d like to

So I been playing this game for a 1 year or month and I never experience this happening until now so when ever I want to put a plushie on my furniture it goes on the floor instead of the furniture and at first I was frustrated so I quit trying to put it on the furniture btw it was the teddy autumn scrapbook furniture and it only happen on one of the furniture so I didn’t mind since it was on one furniture then it I was trying to make it look like the showcase room of teddy autumn scarpbook and I deleted the bed of teddy autumn scarpbook to move it and I put it where I want it to be and I want to put plushie on the bed but it keep going on the floor and all the furniture of teddy autumn scarpbook was the same if I want to put a plushie on it goes to the floor and not the furniture so I want this to be fix if you can!

by OoFxp

The game is beyond adorable I love it sooo much! I can’t figure out the trading thing to save my life though. My only complaint is how long it takes to get coins and hearts with the little amount you receive after doing tasks it would be great if we could get more for doing things because the prices to buy are absolutely crazy. One thing about this game as well is the amount of words they are constantly blocking, like I understand why you do it but why not send out an email or show a section to what words have recently got blocked or something. It’s frustrating sometimes because when I go to make an items list and I’m literally putting the exact same names they put for the items on the game and it always tells me that “characters that cannot be used are in this post” and I can’t post it. Honestly makes me not even want to play the game at all. BUT Other then that it’s a very great game if you like cute characters and dressing up as well as designing your own adorable room.

by Miranda_2011

Don’t get my wring I love this game and I’m not the type of person to complain about something, but my only complaint is that the gacha pulls are quite the amount of coins and after you do one pull the price goes up higher?! And for the 7x pulls they are like 1K and it takes you almost two or even three whole days to get that much and watering only gives you one and helping the Sanrio characters only give you two for doing various tasks but asides that’s I rlly like the game and making other houses for ppl who have a lot of stuff because myself dosent have much also it’s just fun to build others people houses and getting a chance to win I also like my imagination flow out while doing so, at the game is very cute! My very have that it also has a English vers if I didn’t I prob would have downloaded it and then undownload it if I’m being honest but I love to play this game once an a while while I’m bored and I actually have a fun time doing so and I don’t think I will stop playing any time soon after this review is made but I really hope for future updates you could make gacha pulls less coins for people who don’t have as much coins

This game is amazing, there are so many things to do! One of my favorite things to do are collecting rare fruits to host parties, I like that you can get cute plushies from hosting parties. I also like that you can harvest fruits from other peoples flowers and not just yours, I like having a variety of fruit so I can go to other peoples parties! Since I can collect lots of fruits, I can go to 2 or 3 parties a day! I also like that you can trade duplicates because I have A LOT of them, it makes getting different things easier. The quests are pretty easy to complete most of the time which makes it easy to level up. I LOVE the items in the happy bags so far, I’ve gotten many cute things from the happy bags such as, clothes, furniture, etc. I’ve only had this game for a week and I’ve progressed so much without spending any money, but I would like to get more hearts for the quest that I complete or for the things that cost hearts to go on sale for longer than a week, because I barely have enough time to save up hearts for the items that are on sale for a week. I really hope that I’m encouraging people to download this game, It’s one of the best games in HelloKittyDreamVillage Store because it’s not like those other simulator games that get famous for no reason, The creators of this game put thought into this game and made it a fun game for everyone to enjoy, and I’m not planning on deleting it anytime soon.

HelloKittyDreamVillage is so freaking cute! I love it so so much as i just started playing it today. It is not like any other dress up/ story game apps Ive played. Not only can you interact with your cutely favorite Sanrio characters like hello kitty and my melody but you can also decorate your home, your outfits, and meet and trade items with people. I found it very easy to collect items! The in game currency is great and you can continue playing for free without paying a dime or too much money like other apps require. To get items you get mystery bags from something called happy bags which are themed sets to collect from and favorite is mint chocolate! Which has a bunch of cute furniture and outfits! I really love how much freedom there is when it comes to customizing the outfits!!!

by Pickleisdabest

I love this game so much! I play it everyday because it’s just that good! I love the concept of the game and the sets or whatever you call it are awesome! This is one of the best free games I have ever played! I love how you can play with your friends and throw party’s! Also I think it is so cool that there is a chat where you can take pictures in game and post stuff like real life apps! I love how the “sets” are always changing but you can always find one you will like. and I like that you can help the characters! The only thing that I don’t like is kuromi isn’t there she only comes when you have a party and you use the thing. Overall this is a very fun and cute game to play when you are bored but you do need wifi. :)

This game is wonderful and totally caters to my tastes in design and cuteness! As a beginner in Japanese, though, the game's lack of English settings doesn't do it many favors. I hope one day the game gets an English setting! I understand America may not be your biggest demographic for this, and not many Americans play it compared to Japanese, but I think it would do some great favors, and maybe attract more people, since the Japanese may turn a lot of people off. That's all to complain about, though! That and the fact that it's a bit difficult to get currency, but I understand the reason why. Thank you for making such a cute and colorful game! 愛あなた！♡♡

Edit: so, I recently found out about your trading system! It could be improved a little. Maybe you could make a place for people to trade instead of having to wait until you bump into someone, or an AI that can match you with people who have something on your wishlist! That's all!

by FleetingRevenge

Getting in the game takes forever, worse than old school dial-up. Sometimes you can’t get in the game at all.

by Skyfoogles

I downloaded this game because I saw that there is an English version release and I was so excited to play but my game is only in Japanese. In my phone settings for HelloKittyDreamVillage I have English selected but the game is fully in Japanese. I am not located in the United States, so maybe that is the issue but I hope that this could be fixed soon as I want to be able to enjoy this game to the fullest in English…

by Sno-Moofin

I really love this game and im so glad there’s an English version of it!! Very cute graphics and adorable clothes. My only problem is that the game keeps glitching/crashing whenever I go to water neighbor’s plants. It doesn’t do it all the time of course but occasionally. Could you please fix it?

by Ncknamrty

Hello! I’m not very good at Japanese but the game is simple enough that it is not a problem! I do think it would be worth it to have an English version as well though!

I know that HelloKittyDreamVillage would be very popular where I live, if more people could understand it! :)

I really enjoy HelloKittyDreamVillage though, it is so cute and peaceful. I would recommend it.

by SoTotallySAO

I really wish there were an English version! It’s nice to play what I can figure out and all the gachas are super cute, but quests can be difficult when you don’t understand what anyone is saying.

by Iamcheerytoday

The Sanrio character are adorable! If you like dress up you will like this game! But I wish it is more easier to get coins to get items ... Well it’s so cute so you should download it:)

by Luna Lapin

Cute & fun game for any Sanrio fan. Hoping there will be an English option in the future because I don’t understand everything. Still a new favorite though.

by Jdjrjrj

I want to play this game so bad but I can’t understand a single thing🥲

by 토끼 달

i don’t know any japanese, but i stumbled onto HelloKittyDreamVillage amd it’s so adorable.. i wish i could understand something! if i’m not too rude, could i please ask for some form of english translation?

by Waiting To Connect Like 24/7

by Mimimi-chan!

I love this game SO MUCH!! Very kawaii
