Level5, the beloved Japanese developers behind Ni No Kuni and Yo Kai Watch, have released Fantasy Life i: The Girl Who Steals Time. The RPG-life-sim is available now on Steam PC, PlayStation, Switch, and Xbox, and will release for Switch 2 as a June 5 launch title.
Fantasy Life i is the sequel to the original Fantasy Life, which released on Nintendo 3DS in 2014. The Girl Who Steals Time introduces a new time-traveling aspect to the story.
Gameplay blends Zelda-like exploration and combat with the familiar trappings of a life sim: gathering resources, crafting tools and furniture, and engaging in minigames.
Fantasy Life’s signature feature are its 14 lives. The “lives” are basically classes or professions with their own set of skills and progression, such as hunter, miner, cook, and farmer. Players can customize their characters and freely swap between lives at any time.
The open world of Ginormsia features monsters, dungeons, materials, and treasure. Players can freely customize and shape their own home island of Reveria.
Fantasy Life i supports co-op multiplayer with up to four players, and features a limited two-player local co-op feature. However, in “Family Co-op,” the second player cannot customize their own character, and plays more of an assist character.
After less than a week, Fantasy Life i has proven a smash hit, selling half a million copies as of May 24. To celebrate the milestone, Level5 is giving away special items via a Gift Code (above), and hosting a social media giveaway though Twitter/X (below).
