Remember not too long ago that Capcom released Smurfs’ Village on various platforms such as Facebook and iOS and that children were racking up the charges on their parents credit cards due to lack of a check before purchases went through? Well this is the same game.
Beeline Interactive is the mobile gaming division of Capcom that was started up a few months ago to give Capcom a better branding for mobile gaming. Well Beeline Interactive has launched Smurf’s Village onto the Android Market, complete with all the freemium features the other platforms have. The issue with the large charges being done by children has been fixed though so it’s alright to let your children play it.
Smurfs’ Village is essentially a re-skinned Sim City/Time Management game but wrapped up in a Smurf’s theme. You have to build a new village for the Smurfs to live in. You will be able to build pretty much everything you want including specialized houses, bridges, pathways (a.k.a roads), massive gardens and crops and much more.
