Ice Age Village

Basic

Gameloft's latest attempt at a free-to-play build-em'-up is set in Blue Sky Studios's increasingly popular Ice Age universe.

In Ice Age Village for Android and iOS, you assist Sid, Manny, Diego, and Ellie in their attempt to construct a village for some refugee animals, who have been left homeless following an unexpected cataclysmic rift.

It's your job to - among other things - pack your village with a variety of habitats, help your camp's inhabitants breed, and keep everyone entertained with recreational activities.

Anyway, this village isn't going to build itself, so let's get going.

The basics


As always in this type of game, there are two forms of currency available in Ice Age Village: Coins, which you'll earn in huge quantities; and Acorns, which are rather hard to come by.

You'll earn some Acorns as you level-up your village, but you can also nab the tasty treats by completing in-game special offers, such as watching videos. Just tap the currency bar at the top of your device's screen to get started.

You can spend Acorns to speed up a variety of processes and to unlock village expansions, but we suggest you save them to buy rare animals with. Expansions can be bought for coins, too.

Ice Age Village's in-game shop features four categories of items: animal, fun stuff, decorations, and special - all of which have different uses and unique benefits. For example, the game's special items allow you to play mini-games or watch short videos.

As you tend to your village, feed your range of stranded animals, and complete goals, you'll earn experience points that help you to level-up. Levelling-up gives you access to new animals and decorations.
