Hokko Life is a fun-to-play videogame published by Team17. Along with the Wonderscope team, who took a thorough part in the game development process, players are off to experience a captivating life within the Hokko village. The place you are yet to explore is waiting for a touch of creative people to make it alive again. Build up your own way of living to flood the whole world with masterful pieces crafted from the deep of your workshop. Make sure to get a cup of coffee and biscuits to companion a light, yet curious gameplay saturated with story and soul. At this moment, Hokko Life can only be thrilled by Windows users with no Mac being around. Whilst this may cause you to drop a tear down your face, we have managed to find a way to launch it on Mac regardless. Just follow the step-by-step guide to get over incompatibilities right below.
Play Hokko Life on Mac with Parallels
Hokko Life does not require lots of PC resources, and you can play the game on any Mac computer (iMac, iMac Pro, or Mac Pro), where Parallels Desktop can be a solution. This is software for Windows virtualization on Mac with the full support of DirectX and GPUs. It allows you to install Windows 10 on Mac with a couple of clicks and switch between MacOS and Windows instantly. You can run Windows just like on a regular PC, install Steam and enjoy the Hokko Life game on Mac.
Play Hokko Life with cloud gaming services
Update: Nvidia GeForce Now supports Hokko Life! AirGPU does not support Hokko Life to the date, however, this popular game may appear on their services soon! Register and explore cloud gaming now!
If you have an old Mac or it cannot satisfy Hokko Life game system requirements, there is an easy solution. Cloud gaming provides you sufficient cloud resources for a fixed fee. All you need is a small client program and a good internet connection starting from 15 Mbits/s. There are several great services, that provide such an opportunity, among the best are AirGPU and Nvidia GeForce Now. Both services may have Hokko Life in their game catalog soon, and you can play on any Mac computer (starting from MacOS 10.10) and even Android!
Play Hokko Life on Mac with BootCamp
This method is simple but time-consuming. If your Mac meets all system requirements above, this is probably the best way to play Hokko Life for now. You need to set up a dual boot of Windows and Mac via BootCamp. BootCamp allows users to choose the system to work in on startup, however, you won’t be able to switch between systems like in Parallels. You will need to reboot your machine every time you switch from Mac to Windows and vice versa. Remember that Mac is just a computer, that uses common processors, RAM, disks, and other components. So you can install Windows on Mac by allocating disc space of a minimum of 64 Gb (to be able to run Windows and a couple of games). To set up Windows via BootCamp, please, do the following:
For OS X El Capitan 10.11 or later
Mention, that for MacOS versions prior to OS X El Capitan 10.11 you will need to create bootable Windows USB.
- Download Windows ISO file
- Open Boot Camp Assistant (Go to Applications > Utilities)
- Define the Windows partition size, choose downloaded Windows ISO file
- Format Windows partition and go through all Windows installation steps
- When Windows boots for the first time, follow on-screen instructions to install Boot Camp and Windows support software (drivers)
