Oh man, where to even start with this? So, Weekly Famitsu decided to sneak in a review of this game – “Fantasy Life i: The Girl Who Steals Time.” Maybe I’m just nostalgic, but the fact that LEVEL-5 keeps cranking out these games for the Switch? Kind of impressive.
Okay, so their Cross Review (which sounds fancy, right?) had four reviewers tossing in their two cents. Well, actually, it’s more like four-time nine cents because, math alert, they gave it a whopping 36 out of 40. That’s like, almost perfect. Guess they were into it.
This game thingy kicks off in Mysteria Island. Sounds mysterious – pun intended. You’re living on this rundown island, but there’s a twist: you can adventure back to the olden days. Time travel, anyone? You get to build a city, pick a “Life” that suits your mood, and hang with friends. Crafting is like the thing to do. Feels like a simulation of life but with more magic, right?
Anyway, LEVEL-5 spilled the beans on what makes this game tick. Here’s the scoop:
First, you’ve got the avatar creation. It’s like dress-up for adults. Tweak your face, mess with your hair… all that stuff. And then you’re off to Reveria!
Next, they’ve got this “Life” system, which sounds suspiciously like jobs but fun. Each “Life” offers its own vibe and things to do, just to keep you entertained.
Then there’s this whole island renovation project, where you gather junk—or uh, resources—from a thousand years ago to fix up your spot. Create your own little paradise, basically.
And hey, if solo ventures get boring, you can rope in up to three pals for some multiplayer magic. Band together, collect stuff, and enjoy. Simple, right?
There’s also some mystery element with these weird “Strangelings” creatures. Are they spirits or people from the past? That’s your job to figure out, Sherlock.
The game claims to serve up danger and thrills while you’re unraveling island mysteries. So adventurous, right?
Mark your calendars: this big ol’ adventure lands on the Nintendo eShop on May 21, 2025. And if you’re waiting for the Switch 2 edition, hold your horses – that’s for another day.
And there it is, the chaotic little slice of gaming life.
