About the Game
G’Day there! Get ready to start a new fair Dinkum life and build a home on an Island inspired by the wild Australian outback. Explore tropical eucalyptus forests, survive scorching deserts, relax at cool billabongs and discover scrubland filled with adorable Aussie inspired wildlife. Collect valuable resources by hunting, mining, fishing and foraging to expand and customise your town and attract new townsfolk and businesses. Share your new home with friends and protect each other as you explore beautiful landscapes filled with dangerous predators.
Go from starting out sleeping in a swag under the stars, to a sprawling town with farms, businesses and attractions. Eventually, you’ll draw in visitors, who might decide to stay and make it their home too.
Keep your neighbours happy by customising your town with fences, flower beds, street lamps, beehives, windmills, hedges, fountains and more. The happier your townsfolk are the more likely they are to settle down, bring their families and set up stores with unique items.
Invite your friends to visit your town where they can help you construct buildings, shop at your stores, go fishing, race Emus, fight crocodiles much more!
The island is Choc-A-Bloc with insects, fish and minerals. So grab your thongs and go track down and collect them all for your personal museum collection, or sell them for a tidy profit!
Care for and breed chickens, cows and sheep as well as Dinkum’s iconic Giant Wombats! The Wombats might seem intimidating at first, but really they are sweethearts.
Cultivate crops for your town across the whole island, choosing the best spots for each type. Not only do the seasons change, but the temperature shifts depending on where you are on the island
Hunt animals for food and defend yourself from deadly predators who are just as hungry as you. Those Roos might seem friendly but they pack a punch!
Attack creatures head on or capture them with traps, it’s up to you how to survive.
Customise your character in Dinkum to be the True Blue version of you. Buy that shiny pair of sunnies or wide Akubra hat in the shop, or seek out rare items through exploring the great outdoors and through chinwags with fellow townsfolk.
Make your house your own cosy abode. Craft a huge range of furniture and decorations, choose where everything goes and invite friends over to show off your interior designer creds.

I've heard about this game for over a year and finally decided to get it and I'm so glad I did. It is so fun, I just started playing a few days ago and already have 12 hours. It is definitely similar to Animal Crossing, so if you like that I think you would love this too.
If you're wanting a new twist on an animal crossing like game this is IT. It's pretty fun and cozy. Grinding and foraging lovers will love this.All around super fun game. Also rewarding to see your town expand from all the work YOU put into it. Excited to see more content in the future but for now there is PLENTY to do!
I've put 5 hours into this game and I feel like it only revolves around acquiring more money to have more shop owners move to your island. There is a town donation box that puts your town into debt every time you want a new shop owner. So I go to grind, harvesting anything you can to sell, just to pay off the debt. Not to mention your energy bar depletes so quickly, just mining 1-2 rocks tires out your avatar completely. I'm guessing leveling up the mining skill/eating food would help with the energy bar, but I've just lost interest in the game. I really wish I could get a refund of this game.
I started out liking Dinkum, but due to a few frustrating issues, I had to stop:
-Prices are way too high and need to be scaled down, at least for single player.
-Having to pay to build the mine and then buy a one-time use pass (that is 25k) every time to use said mines is really frustrating. This is where I stopped, the game just became too grindy at this point.
-Only being able to get the starter tools at the shop and unable to craft them yourself. Plus the store closes at 4pm, so if your tool breaks after 4pm but you still want to keep going, you're out of luck.
-The shovel only being able to move one block at a time. It's not really fun to design a town if you constantly have to run back and forth to find a place for the dirt block you just dug up. Maybe you could just put the dirt in your pocket and be able to place it or trash it somewhere else later? I don't know, just an idea.
-If the stamina system is meant to be used alongside the cooking system, it be nice if the cooking table had more early game recipes?? I didn't hunt a lot, because I wanted to save my metal bars, so I mainly relied on foraging for fruit. It be cool if there were some fruit recipes you could only do at the cooking table.
This game has a lot of potential, so I really hope the balancing issues get resolved in the future.
DInkum is awesome to play and very relaxing. If you're looking for a fun and creative game where you can build your own world and design how you want. This game will be for you, it is so much fun and as I said very relaxing when playing. It has a huge charm to it.
I would Absolutely love this game if we didn't have to go to the mines.. I hate going.!!. It's so dark , especially having poor eyesight, I get lost, defeated by everything down there, so expensive for pass, torches, upgraded pickaxes, which you need a lot of. It's actually ruining the game for me. Especially when we are just starting out, spending that kind of dinks to do something that isn't enjoyable and not really profitable in the beginning.
I adore everything else about the game!! The graphics, the NPS, setting up my space, grinding for resources.. it's one of the best games out there..it's amazing in every way!!
Please think about allowing us to grind for resources.. all resources.. ORE especially, because you need it for EVERYTHING, on the island. Make a special island or area where you can get copper, iron and tin in abundance so we are NOT forced to use the mines!! Please 🙏🙏.
I would be so disappointed if I don't play the game anymore because of this.. it's just not enjoyable.
I have been playing for hours every day since I got the game and I really don't want to give it up for something else, but it's just too frustrating for me and I don't want to play a game I don't enjoy .
Hopefully there will be a change of some kind to make it more fun 😊
I'm a little on the fence with this one. I got this game over two years ago and felt like it had great potential. Over two years later after coming back, it feels like not much new is added (same biomes, same wildlife, same wild plants).
Also, the multiplayer is a disappointment. It's only useful if your friends wanna visit and check out your farm, but you can't progress together, only the host can do quests for granny or build/move buildings. They can still help you with a few things and keep their items, so it's not the worst either.
Absolutely love this game. I really enjoy being creative and designing fun spaces on the island.
The game has a lot of Animal Crossing-like mechanics, which I really enjoy. It’s very relaxing, and it doesn’t feel like you have to grind much since the game rewards you for almost everything. Personally, I’d love to see more dialogues, the possibility of romance, a global daytime feature for multiplayer, and the option to send items by mail. That said, the game is awesome—it delivers a great experience, and I absolutely love some of the silly things you can do. Highly recommended!
Underneath what should be a charming and relaxing Animal Crossing-like experience are punishing health / stamina mechanics, multiple micro FPS stutters per second after ~20 minutes, near constant crashes, both in single- and multiplayer, and endgame materials being requested in early game missions.
Can't recommend in it's current form as long as the dev(s) don't address these very problematic issues. Once they're fixed, then the game will be tons of fun to enjoy with friends.
I had fun the first 10 hours or so when i was still discovering more things and progressing but then everything came to a halt and i everything turned into a chore.
This game will be amazing if the pacing is fixed, otherwise i can see it becoming good with some more content added.
still felt like i got my moneys worth and it definetly hooked my attention from the get go.
I just thought it was sad that there was little to no guidance in how to progress, main goal is to get people to move in but they dont move in.
Hope it turns out well, i might return
When I first played this game, it was accessible, fun, and animal-crossing-like with an Australian twist. I started playing this game close to its release, so I have enjoyed the updates immensely over time and really enjoyed watching the game progress and grow—especially the additions of seasonal weather and plant growth.
However, the change in the health and stamina mechanics has made the game almost completely unplayable for me.
It seems that the creator wanted the players to use food more; using buffs to offset a very punishing regeneration system that impacts the gameplay so much that you can't even chop wood or run around without a full debuff getting in the way.
Running across hostile animals used to be a fun surprise; now it's game-breakingly difficult. With the new mechanics, even WITH food, you can be killed multiple times on an EASY level mining expedition.
I'm really disappointed. I was hoping to explore Dinkum and its updates for a long time to come; but now the game has become inaccessible to me.
This game is addicting, doesn't get boring, lots to do. This game has farming, combat, mining, cooking, ranching and you can change outfits, change hair styles, decorate you town, you can save money in a bank, commission for tools, gadgets and more furniture. Best of all you can do adventuring!
This game is nice, but unfortunately like animal crossing it doesn't really have a lot of deep systems and mechanics to keep you playing after a few ingame weeks. There's plenty of stuff to do, but once you have all npcs and buildings, there's nothing to progress towards. I think (Steam) Achievements of some kind would be another "list" to complete to add a bit more playtime, or some sort of ambitious multiplayer mode where you can visit other peoples islands
This game is absolute bonzer, a real beaut, but it would need a few fixes. I have played for 76 hours now and I have enjoyed every single moment of it (except for when it has lagged, which was probably because of my computer, or when I passed out thrice trying to hunt down an alpha jackaroo).
What I miss in this game is more information. Oftentimes, you are asked to go to a specific biome in the game, but correct me if I'm blind, but there is to my knowledge no way of knowing what differs the plains, the forests, the tropics and the billybongs. I would like biome markers.
Also, it seems the NPC:s have different likes and dislikes. For instance, Rayne and Irwin do not seem to enjoy meat, but I would like that marked in their profile in my notebook.
I would also like an auto-sorting system. Do not get me wrong, there is nothing problematic with sorting everything the way you want it by hand, but I have been playing games like Traveller's Rest, Graveyard Keeper and the likes and they all have an auto-sorting-system in their containers. It would save a lot of time and unnecessary energy spent to implement such a system in this game too.
However, while you learn your mistakes in hindsight, that's how the world goes you know, so when I placed a deed on the first year that required ingredients I could not even get until the next year, I wanted to move it so I could fit a better building in its place. You cannot move unfinished structures though, so I had to build in the outskirts of my town which was a bit annoying.
But generally, this game is an absolute beaut. I really have a bachelor's essay to write, but I get lost in the serenity of this game instead and spend hours on end just gathering materials, tending to my crops, making dinks (money) and expanding my world. Who needs a degree when you have got this ey? Nah, for real, this is an absolute MUST HAVE for those who love sim town management. It's peaceful, serene, not too challenging but not too easy. It is almost everything I want in a game in this genre, although I would appreciate the above stated addons/fixes.
Once more, absolute bonzer!
Intriguing game, story driven & fun with friends. Gives off Animal Crossings vibes. The game is still very much in early access so there’s not much to do at the moment story wise, if that’s what you’re into I would wait for a full release! Otherwise, cool little game to play in the current state.
Bought this after watching LGIO's Josh play this game. Absolutely delightful. The progression of the story is very interesting. The map generations are top tier as well. 10/10 would recommend.
LOVE!!! kind of like animal crossing but also minecraft. so so fun!!! have been playing this every day maybe to an unhealthy extent but 100% try it out! looking forward to what the future brings for this game :D
everything i wanted in animal crossing and way more lol. absolutely love this game sm. deffo recommend.
This game has a lot of content and is very interesting. The fly in the ointment is that the music is not very good, and there are too few conversations with NPC. You spend a lot of time improving intimacy, and there don't get any special feedback. I think this social framework is just a decoration and needs to be improved.
It's a chill life simulator where you can do whatever you want. Hunting, foraging, fishing, building your settlement, you name it. Sadly the co-op is rather limited. Basically you just hopped into someone's island, but your progressions won't be carried over from there to your own. I hope the dev add the shared progression system so you can host an island with your friend and play, progress together at the same time. Otherwise i give it 7/10.
Genuinely one of the best games I've played in a while, chill aesthetic, low commitment but you feel like you can always come back for more, especially when there's always new content. Even though the development team is small(just one guy), there is always exciting new additions that come with each update, you can feel the love and dedication put into this game. I honestly hope that more people give this game the recognition it deserves. In a world full of fast-paced games and cash hungry gaming companies, i feel like this game is a breath of fresh air. 10/10 for me and I hope this review will give the game the shot it deserves, trust me, buy it and you won't regret it.
There are lots of things to like about Dinkum: cute animation style, simple game play, achievable goals in a given session. The only things that irk at all are the same as with other cozy sim type games - the endless grind of materials and running around to achieve even the simplest of tasks. Absolutely recommend playing with mods to eliminate the grind -- without them (I'm playing with WeMod mods but Nexus are great too) the game is just too much grind for me. That said, I'm recommending it because if you're a cozy homesteading gamer like I am, you will probably enjoy the hell out of this game.
Me and my girlfriend saw the game and thought it would be fun to play together. The co-op features are sadly very bad. there is no way to really progress together since you only really visit each other. i would love if there was a way to promote a visitor to part owner of the island so they would get permanent residency and be able to do everything the host is able to. i just spent a lot of permits to unlock the mine deed but cant place it as it isnt my island. this is a single player game, dont buy it if you are hoping for a fun problem free multiplayer experience.
Wonderfully cozy game. Perfect for those days when the weather isn't playing nice and you have nothing else to do. Or in my case is perfect for any moment and great for losing oneself in relaxation.
Super fun exploration/farm/life simulation game.
this is a way fun game! you farm go to different Islands get more people and it's engineering too
This game is a great time. I do prefer the older version more as the new stamina bar makes it so you can only do about half, maybe even less, in a day compared to what we used to be able to do. That being said, it is still worth the play. Over all still a fun game to play around in.
I love the game, it's very cozy and so relaxing. My only issue is the servers, sometime we get disconnected even though our internet are running well. For example my girlfriend and her sister both lives in the same house, and we play together, sometimes my girlfriend gets disconnected from our world (the owner is her sister), it's impossible that her reason for being disconnected is internet issues since they both share the same internet connection. Please fix this cause it's such a bummer whenever we've done a lot of progress and for it all to be gone cause we got disconnected accidentally.
The art style is what endeared this game to me, with a fun Australian vibe.
The game itself is a relaxing and enjoyable sim, emphasizing gathering first and then transitioning into more of a farm sim with cute animals and fun building options. If you like to explore, be careful for the adorable emu and crocodile hostiles, as they can surprise you with their quickness and lethality!
Super duper fun, with a good multiplayer system and somewhat forgettable but ultimately lovable NPCs.
So I have played A LOT of hours of this game lol. I got it the day it came out and I’ve been playing It since. I love it overall. It’s a game I can sit down to play and 4 hours goes by when it only feels like minutes! My BIGGEST gripe with the “new” system.. the stamina. I’m extremely upset that the stamina system has been all skewed. I get it, the game was early access, and still is, and things change! However, it doesn’t feel fair! I feel like I’m CONSTANTLY having to eat and it’s not right. I feel like cooking now is more of a chore than something I enjoy.. or I have to spend a ton of money purchasing food. It’s just not fair imo. I understand if the Dev wants to have the system like this, but it needs to be more balanced, currently it isn’t! And to be 100% honest, that one aspect has kept me from playing as much as I used to. I still love the game, and still play it, but I no longer sit down and sink hours into it at a time. Maybe that’s a good thing?! I could use more fresh air and exercise, Haha. Regardless this is a game I absolutely would recommend! It just really saddens me about the current stamina system.
Its such a good game! I love everything about the combat, ranching, farming, etc, also i love that the dev has been adding more and more decoration options i have been playing it for 60 hours and i still feel like i have so much more to do
It's a very wholesome game, you can chill big time while playing this game, the terraforming is nice, the graphics are lovely and the whole atmosphere of the game is great, you really feel australia coming to life in this game. You definitely feel the passion the developer has for this game.
Dinkum is a fun game to play! I only have 49 hours played, but I am excited to build a better island than what I have currently. This is not a simple farming game, but it is relaxing to play.
A great alternative to animal crossing/ minecraft in my opinion
This game is honestly so great and such a comfy game. It's a really great mix of Stardew Valley mechanics with the look and feel of some Animal Crossing ones at the same time. On top of all of that, as an American playing a game with Australian roots, I've learned a lot about little things like lingo and food that I never thought I would know before playing the game. If you've got some time and are looking for a new world builder farming sim then definitely give it a shot! Just be careful otherwise you might end up needing to carve out a lot of time for it if your impulse control is as bad as mine haha
Charming Aussie-Inspired Life Sim with Endless Possibilities
Dinkum is an absolute gem for fans of life-simulation and crafting games. Set in a gorgeous, Aussie-inspired outback, it combines the best elements of games like Animal Crossing, Stardew Valley, and Minecraft into a fun and relaxing experience with its own unique charm.
From the moment you arrive on your island, Dinkum offers an incredible sense of freedom. Whether you’re farming, fishing, mining, hunting, or building your dream town, there’s always something engaging to do. The progression feels natural and rewarding, as you unlock new tools, attract villagers, and expand your settlement into a bustling community.
The art style is simple yet beautiful, with a warm color palette that makes exploring the island a joy. The outback-inspired wildlife and biomes add an extra layer of personality to the game, making it feel fresh and different from other games in the genre.
One of Dinkum’s biggest strengths is its multiplayer mode, allowing you to share the experience with friends. Building, trading, and exploring together adds so much fun and creativity to the game.
With frequent updates and an active developer who listens to the community, Dinkum continues to improve. It’s an incredibly charming and addictive game that’s hard to put down. If you enjoy relaxing, creative, and rewarding gameplay, this one is a must-play!
They can do so much more with dinkum! I love it as a relaxing game. I can binge play for while and then I get bored and wont touch it for weeks until I feel like it again. If there was more to do I would be more motivated. I hope they try to expand this game a bit and add more things to do that make the game more interesting!
Animal Crossing dupe in an Australia-type setting? Yes, please. This game should really get more traction. It's so fun and I love developing the town. The animals are so unique. There's even a komodo dragon! If you're an Animal Crossing fan and want to play something similar on PC, this is it!
I love this game. The game play is a lot of fun and I appreciate all of the ways you can change up the island. Also, the huge map is amazing! I am over 1,000 hours in and still discovering more things. My only complaint is that the NPCs seem very flat. I wish that they had more of a backstory and some interesting quirks that would make them come alive. Highly recommend this game. Very enjoyable and incredibly entertaining.
I love playing this with my wife and works well with her Steam Deck. There's a rewarding grind and it's never punishing. The fact that the game is still in EA tells me there is more to come and I'm looking forward to seeing what's next.
Honestly the best game ever, gives me Animal crossing,Harvest moon and minecraft vibes when playing this, totally recommended
If you enjoy animal crossing/stardew valley, this is the game for you. Super cosy and Australian themed. Very nice.
god help me when this game comes to switch. obsessed. love everything about it except that you can't craft using items in nearby chests (unless that was added in an update if so, ignore me)
Super cute game, if you like games like animal crossing or stardew give this game a try!
There's always something to do and setting up your town allows a good deal of creative expression with the large assortment of decor, pathing options, plants, lighting and fencing. And just when I thought I knew everything, I always seem discover something new. A lot of fun!
This is my favorite game. There is so much to do and the game can go in any direction you choose. Adventure, building, designing, and so much more. Everyone should give this game a chance, you will not be disappointed.
good game i enjoyed it a lot
not much of building or fighting even farming but it's not bad in any of these.
it's hard to get a deed and that very annoying 30 a hour r not enough to get all of them.
it's good for co-op u can do main quest that very good point but there is no much of main quest they r few.
in online co-op mode the first player must host a game then the others can join if the host left the server will stop , so the host must be online ever time u want to play , it wasn't problem for me .
If you've ever thought to yourself "Man, I like the idea of Animal Crossing, but it takes too long to get anything done. I wish I could just speed through the days", then look no further! This game is basically that. Take Animal Crossing, cut out the 1:1 IRL timer, throw in some Australia flare, and mix it all together to get Dinkum.
If you just want a chill time to build up your own little town in the Australian Outback, give this little gem a whirl.
A fun game that resembles animal crossing but make it Australian. its an easy game to just mellow out and waste time. Its not a game you start over but just pick up where you left off.
