FANTASY LIFE i: The Girl Who Steals Time is capturing the attention of gamers and is poised to consume many a free hour. This new title from Level-5 serves as a successor and prequel to the original 2012 Fantasy Life, which introduced players to a unique blend of RPG mechanics and life simulation elements.
Set on the island of Reveria, the game invites players to adopt one of 14 different life classes, allowing for a range of experiences from farming to adventuring. The mechanics encourage not just sticking to one path, but switching between classes to tackle various tasks and unlock unique rewards. Players embark on a quest to rebuild a fallen island by journeying 1,000 years into the past, featuring leisurely activities such as cooking, crafting, and fishing.
The plot unfolds as you join an archaeologist named Edward and his team, where you’ll uncover the mysteries of this deserted island by following clues linked to a dragon’s fossil. Players are tasked with navigating both the prosperous past and the present to understand the causes of the island’s downfall.
FANTASY LIFE i has already made a significant splash in the gaming community, particularly on Steam where it achieved an all-time peak of 34,318 concurrent players, a commendable number for a cozy title. This success might suggest a positive reception and interest in relaxing yet engaging gameplay experiences.
The game is available on multiple platforms, including Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, PC, and Xbox Series X/S, with a version planned for the upcoming Switch 2. Given its unique approach and growing popularity, FANTASY LIFE i presents an inviting escapade for both fans of the original and newcomers alike.
