Like any good farming adventure game,Coral Islandgives you a chance to be so much more than a simple farmer. You’ll have the opportunity to complete all kinds of quests as you work to improve the island and grow your farm, but no matter what you choose to focus on, odds are you will have to visit the mine.

The mine can be dangerous, however, and you’ll need to be proficient with a sword as much as a pick if you want to survive. The Band of Smiles is a guild of monster hunters and adventurers who are dedicated to keeping the inhabitants of Coral Island safe from danger, all while keeping a smile on their face.
