This is a guide for Tap Tap Fish – AbyssRium, with only the June Pirate Event (2018) information. See the main guide for a more comprehensive set of information. Feel free to add any of my guides to your homescreen for easy access, and offline loading of guides you’ve used (on supported devices)!
This Event has ended.
Update 2018-06-03: This event/guide’s been so popular I had to pay to upgrade my server! As always contributing to my Patreon can help me make even more, higher-quality guides & articles, and it keeps the lights on of course!
I streamed the event earlier with my thoughts, and you can see a video guide instead below if you prefer:
Makai Wars (魔界ウォーズ ) released on Android and iOS (in Japan only) in February! As a huge fan of Disgaea I started a guide to both get you started quickly and also detail the more intricate details, all without knowing Japanese. The guide will be expanded over time as new info comes in. As always, you can donate to my Patreon to support my guides!
Makai Wars is a simplified Strategy Roleplaying Game much like Disgaea (and half of NIS’ other games), and it’s Asagi’s very own game! For real this time! No really, stop laughing!

2018-02-19: Added Elements and other gameplay info
Makai Wars (魔界ウォーズ) is a long-running gag in the Disgaea/NIS community. Originally it was announced as a PSP game for E3 2004 and Asagi was to be the protagonist. It was a no-show. It was later re-announced as a PS3 game, which also never materialized.
Since then Asagi has shown up in a majority of NIS tactical games making cameo appearances, usually searching for her game, Makai Wars. She even got a full “Asagi Mode” side story in Prinny 2: Dawn of Operation Panties, Dood (yes that’s a real title).
Finally, in the fateful year of our Overlord 2018, Makai Wars is a real thing and Asagi didn’t lie about it being her game; though it’s basically a Disgaea spinoff title featuring her. It’s a mini-SRPG playing like a simplified version of many of NIS’s other titles, specifically Disgaea.

If you have complaints about this event, email [email protected], the Cheetah Mobile PR person responsible for abyssrium
A Valentine’s Warning
So this event is basically the shark-jumping moment for AbyssRium. This event is exploitative beyond anything AbyssRium fans have seen before. This seems to be the point where Cheetah Mobile has completely consumed the original dev team’s intent and wants to milk us for every single penny by destroying the core game unless you pay.
I posted a comprehensive list outlining 19 problems with this event on reddit. I am not in the mood to repeat it here, but suffice it to say, the devs think you are both an idiot and gullible. Song of the Moon was disabled for candy gaining, wait times and an illegal (in Japan and China anyway) gachapon were introduced, they wanted to delete all of our stored candies at the end of the event too. And that’s just half of it at most. It’s all garbo.
Lutie RPG Clicker is an extremely cute but rather byzantine RPG Clicker game with very high quality art. It’s a bit hard to keep track of which Guardians have which skills in the game itself, so I decided to make a guide starting with a searchable table of Guardians so you know which ones have the Skills you’d like to upgrade.
As always with my guides, feel free to post in the comments if you have any questions or info to give. I’ll expand this guide if I get more important information of if lots of people want more. I’m a fair ways into Lutie RPG Clicker myself (stage 1,000) so ask anything you like.
Lutie RPG Clicker is the story of an angel in the middle of a great war after Ragnarok. The story is unlocked as you progress the game, though the latest bits of the story are still only in Korean. It plays a fair deal like Politicats and Star Tap, a bit more complicated twist on the usual prestige-focused Idle Game template.

Almost A Hero is an RPG style Clicker/Idle game that’s a lot heavier on the RPG than most idle games. You lead a team of up to 5 (almost) heroes who have major flaws but interesting gameplay mechanics as you try to raise them from an unruly crowd of useless idiots to the real heroes every game needs.
I’ve had a ton of fun with this one so I wanted to start a guide even though Almost A Hero is quite complex, so it’s definitely a work in progress! If you have any questions or info to share please post them in the comments. There will be major updates to this guide in the coming days/weeks, see the Updates section to keep track of significant changes.
You can help me prioritize my updates by letting me know which sections/info you want to see first!

Dig Station is a short but fun Idle/Clicker game that has a proper ending (unlike most) and almost no push for advertising and no IAP. It’s also got a lovely, grim atmosphere and fittingly gritty pixel art. You’ll likely be done with it in a few days at the very most, but it’s a fun break.
Note this guide is for App Version 8, there are many resources out there for older versions of the game.
In Dig Station you take the role of a small drilling drone sent to an alien planet. Falling deep into the ocean, you must drill up all the Resources you can to augment your production capacity and go on Adventures™!
Here you’ll find a brief walkthrough of the main mechanics and how to make the most of what the game gives you. As always, feel free to comment with any questions!

Dark Witch Story: COMBAT is the Collectable Card Game/RPG bonus game that comes with Brave Dungeon’s Switch release. It’s a supplemental and not as balanced or deep as Brave Dungeon so it should be played after the main game, you’ll get the most out of it if you’re familiar with the regular Dark Witch enemies anyway.
I didn’t see any other guides at all and Dark Witch Story can be a little confusing so I thought I’d make a guide for it as well, since I already covered Brave Dungeon and The Legend of Dark Witch 2. As always feel free to comment to ask questions, offer corrections, or just discuss the game.
Game Info
Platform: Nintendo Switch Digital
Series: The Legend of Dark Witch
Price: $9 (bundled with Brave Dungeon)
Genre: Trading Card RPG
Game Modes: Singleplayer, Vs CPU, 2 Player Vs

This is a guide for Animal Crossing Pocket Camp (or ACPC), available now! This includes a villager list, how to play events, information on the best use of all the areas, walkthrough information and more!
Submit any questions or corrections in the Comments section below and I’ll get to them as soon as I’m able! You can also hit me up on my Discord Server.
2018-07-28: Added most of the new fish/bugs. I’m no longer going to be updating for each new villager (there are too many, too often, and the info’s all in the game already now) or each individual event due to the volume of work.
2018-04-18: Loot boxes…
2018-04-09: Gulliver was added to the game. His rewards are terrible, don’t bother (1 candy worth 1-2 friendship points for handing in ~10 furniture of “good” rank).
2018-03-14: There’s a new update that adds size records for bugs/fish, the ability to water/plant/harvest multiple flowers at once, added 50 more Collected Item storage slots (max of 300 now instead of 250), 20 free leaf tickets and some bug fixes.
For some reason dialog options are smaller and harder to tap as well. Previously caught fish don’t have size so only new fish add to your records.
2018-03-10: There’s a Super Mario Crossover event!
2018-03-09: New villagers added! Introducing the Harmonious Theme and Amenities.
2018-03-01: Added missing Requested Items for animals thanks to StLSeaWorldGirl in the comments!
2018-02-27: The events in ACPC never end do they! Leif’s Spring Flowers event is on!
2018-02-22: Some misc info added for the new update. A bugfix update was added to ACPC.
2018-02-21: Terrain Editing for your camp site is here!
2018-02-19: Updated list of new features in 1.2 (it’s really huge!)
2018-02-16: A bugfix update is coming soon that fixes the bug where some people can’t open ACPC since the last update.
2018-02-01: Lottie is visiting with a Gothic Rose Festival event! Ends Feb 9th so hurry up! It’s easier than Rover’s Garden Disaster.
2018-01-30: New animals, new essense (hip), new furniture, and another Host The Most event!
2018-01-23: Discovered level cost of Snow Park and max level (2 levels, 100 then 150 Snowflakes). Total cost of the event is extremely cheap.
2018-01-22: Rover event over, Winter Sports event started! Info coming soon. Found images of a post-event Rover scene you get for completing it, added it to the guide for those of us (me) who didn’t complete it in time. Thanks, @musiquenonstop!
2018-01-18: Major guide update! Clothes crafting and a new event are now in Animal Crossing Pocket Camp! See the Game Updates for full details.
I stopped editing for a bit since I was bored with ACPC, but the guide is updated now! See headings marked with (New) for the major updates.
2018-01-07: New animals! Guide update soon.
2017-12-26: Christmas event ends, New Years event begins! Lots of Japanese New Year themed items. Works identically to the Christmas event. Also, an option to change gender at any time was found in the settings!
2017-12-21: 7 new animals, a new Theme: Rustic! Also includes respective amenities, and new furniture! Most info on new villagers added to Animals List. Also the Holiday Stocking item was discovered in the Catalog but it’s unknown how to get it. Probably gifted on a certain day near Christmas.
2017-12-20: Updated the Campsite section to include info on the new better rewards Hosted Animals give. Can’t find out much about Cross Pollination, seems almost totally random.
2017-12-17: Gardening update is here! I’ll update the guide as I get info. Maintenance is over!
2017-12-15: Big Bro’s Hat event info added to Active Events. Also the Retweet Rally succeeded so everyone gets 50 Leaf Tickets.
2017-12-11: Snow has come to Animal Crossing Pocket Camp! Gardening Update Announced, a new villager (very likely Bob) teased. Close Crafting coming soon. Friend Frenzy timed goals added for 60 free Leaf Tickets total.
Also for reference, I finished the Holiday Event in about 8 days, less than I expected.
2017-12-06: It appears Request costs may have been reduced. Added sections below for listing currently Active Timed Events for quick reference, and a section to keep track of all of the special days in ACPC.
2017-12-05: New Animals released! Bluebear, Phoebe, Antonio, Raddle. If you’re high enough level they’ll just already be in your contacts list and start showing up randomly. They come with new furniture to craft as well.
2017-12-04: Various minor corrections. Tried to make it clearer how to change animals at your campsite.
2017-11-30: The Christmas Event has started, read all about it! No app update required! Android Users also got a free Rainbow Hat/Rainbow Shirt (in Isabelle and KK styles) in their mailbox.
2017-11-29: Thanks to Paul David Mabbitt in the comments for confirming there’s no penalty for messing with the clock! Updated Quick Tips section stressing the importance of inviting villagers ASAP. Christmas Event coming at 10 PM Pacific tomorrow!
2017-11-28: Answered some common questions regarding weeds (there are none), whether the nook twins’ store upgrades (it doesn’t) and a tip about fruit (you can leave it on the ground for “storage”, it won’t rot).
2017-11-25: New game update
2017-11-22: Added Video Guides section. Added “postgame” section to Walkthrough. Demoted a couple of less-useful headings to make the table of contents simpler. Removed section on moving your My Nintendo Account to Australia since it’s no longer needed.
2017-11-21: Animal Crossing Pocket Camp is now released worldwide! Android and iOS should be available. Version was updated to 1.0 and a few launch bonuses were released, but otherwise this guide should be perfectly accurate to the full game!
Added Early Game and Quick Tips sections to Walkthrough.
Server issues seem done for now! Note that due to the rush of players, the servers are slow or even failing. Error 802-7609 appears to mean a server overload issue and isn’t your fault, that I can tell.
2017-11-20: Animal Crossing Pocket Camp is releasing worldwide November 22nd! If you’re already playing you can link your My Nintendo Account/change your account back to your local region once it releases.
2017-11-18: The fall colors got more vibrant ingame today! Must be a later stage of Fall.
2017-11-16: Finally added the Walkthrough section! Found that starting at level 15 Villagers give triple the Crafting Materials in requests and potentially as gifts.
2017-11-14: More clarity for Login Bonus page. Clarified Resets section, apparently resets occur at different times in different timezones. Completed the Shovelstrike Quarry section with full info on how to get in, rewards, mechanics etc. Added recommended stockpile counts for Collected Items in the Collected Items heading.
2017-11-10: Finishing up the Animals List. Added some very rough Shovelstrike Quarry payouts for refining later. Discovered Amenities have a cosmetic change on their “max” level only.
2017-11-07: Completed the list of Camper Paint Styles in the Camper section. No images yet, let me know in the comments if you want more images in the guide. I generally avoid them because of mobile data/loading times/etc. I may make separate “inventory guides” with images if there’s demand.
2017-11-06: If you’re wondering how worth it KK Slider/Tom Nook’s chairs are, I made a short video to show Nook’s. More Market Box advice. Discovered inventory maximum (250 after 20 upgrades).
2017-11-03: Minor text improvements. Added some total theme/material counts to the Villagers/Animals List. Bought Nook’s Chair. Turns out Special Items suck.
2017-11-02: Added section on linking non-Australian My Nintendo accounts to the game! It was surprisingly easy. Cleaned up My Nintendo Rewards section to include text info. Minor info additions. A datamine of the game with major spoilers of potential unreleased info was posted. Added it to the addendum. I won’t be including much info not already in Pocket Camp in this guide as it’s meant for current players. I reached level 36 and it seems there are no more new villagers beyond 35 unfortunately, so Villagers List info is mostly complete now.
2017-11-01: Completed the Cooldowns/resets section with all the information on how Animal Crossing Pocket Camp changes gameplay based on the clock. Estimated total count of free Leaf Tickets (916).
2017-10-31: Added Mini-Review for those waiting for global release before playing. Added Leaf Ticket info. More Villager info. Removed level 7/20 rewards from Villagers to declutter since it’s predictable (their shirt/picture). Turns out level 10 villagers may give double base Crafting Materials (6 instead of 3)!
2017-10-30: Lots of new info and corrections. Thanks to the comments for some new info! Added Friends and Camper sections. Added some Amenities and Villager info. Added tip that LLC has random fruit, and that one random non-fruit tree will drop Bells each day. Started adding Villagers guaranteed materials.
2017-10-29: Began filling in next major section, Villagers List!
2017-10-28: I have a ton of info to add but was too busy streaming today, look forward to a big update soon. Thanks to everyone in the comments too!
2017-10-27: Goals section completed, some reordering of the guide. Login bonuses listed.
2017-10-26: Item collections info added. Added a “what’s different from normal Animal Crossing” FAQ.

Weird new way to add local friends “send a tune” added.
You can ask up to 10 friends to help at Shovelstrike now.
Mysterious “text update”.
Balloon gifts added to the map.
They give Collected Items and rarely Fertilizer or crafting mats

There’s an ingame guide for how to play
Rover Camper paint job added to OK Motors for 150 Leaf Tickets (not time limited or tied to the event)

UI changes to make it clear who to talk to in Campsite.
Reese’s van is added to Market Place for a physical location you can use for the Crafting menu. It’s identical to tapping Craft, just makes it feel more Animal Crossing.
New minor Stretch Goals.
Other bug fixes.
2017-12-01: Version 1.0.3. “Bug Fixes”, seems to have added some new Animals and content for upcoming updates. Seashells seem to be more requested now.
2017-11-25: Version 1.0.2. The stock Camper furniture can now be crafted as well. Adjustments were made to daily/primary resets to reduce server load by having them occur within 10 minutes instead of instantly.
2017-11-21: Global Release, Version 1.0.0! Launch bonus released and a couple special IAP packages. No other apparent changes to game files. It’s now safe to switch your Nintendo Account back to USA if you switched it to Australia for the beta, or to link your account if you avoided linking accounts before.
2017-10-25: First release, Version 0.9.0, test market release.
Completing requests gives +3 Friendship instead of +2 for duration
