- Fixed a bug on certain generations of iPad devices where the game screen could be cut off due to the width of the top and bottom side designs.
- Fixed a bug where, during battle and in other situations, holding down a skill button could cause the skill assigned to a single press to activate repeatedly, preventing Charged Attacks from being activated.
- Fixed a bug where setting "Auto-Select Target" to OFF in the Options menu on the title screen would not be reflected in-game.
- Please visit the official website for other fixes.
FANTASY LIFE i: The Girl Who Steals Time brings back everything fans loved about the 3DS original while meaningfully expanding its scope. The core loop of changing jobs, gathering materials, crafting high-tier gear, and venturing into the wild remains endlessly addicting. Adding island customization and terraforming gives every action a tangible sense of progression, as your home town steadily grows from a deserted rock into a thriving hub.
The time-travel mechanic adds a clever layer to exploration. Traveling back 1,000 years into the past to solve puzzles or locate rare ingredients feels rewarding rather than repetitive. While switching jobs mid-game can occasionally feel overwhelming due to the volume of menus, the sheer freedom to play at your own pace makes this one of the most delightful cozy RPGs available on mobile and handheld platforms.
Switch between 14 unique Lives (jobs) on the fly.
Time-travel storyline spanning 1,000 years of mystery.
Full island terraforming and town customization.
Cooperative multiplayer with friends online.
After arriving on the mysterious deserted island, establish your home base. Pick your starting Life (such as Paladin, Woodcutter, or Miner) based on your preferred playstyle. Early questing focuses on gathering basic materials like wood and ore to restore the initial settlement structures.
Progress through the main storyline until you unlock the ability to travel 1,000 years into the past. Use past visits to alter the landscape, gather ancient materials, and complete quests that directly influence the present layout and prosperity of your island.
Switch seamlessly between 14 distinct Lives at any time. Train as an Angler to catch rare fish, pivot to a Blacksmith to forge strong gear, and dive into combat as a Mercenary using your newly crafted equipment.
Reshape the island's landscape, decorate your house, and place buildings anywhere you like. Invite villagers to move in and help manage resources as your town expands.
Yes, online co-op allows you to explore, gather, and fight monsters together with up to four players.
I was skeptical at first because the App Store page didn't reflect the game very well. I'm glad I gave it a shot because it has genuinely rewarding and satisfying RNG + PvE elements plus much more content than I had initially anticipated. It has many mechanics similar to Animal Crossing but goes way farther in depth in a much more interactive experience. There's crafting, a bunch of different skills (lives) to level up with their own unlocks, you get your own island to build and decorate, and there's tons of different monsters (including bosses) that all have different drop tables that include rare items and gear. I am not exaggerating when I say this game is absolutely filled with content. The price is definitely worth it for this PC/ console game that runs surprisingly well on an IPhone.
This is a straight port of game that released last year on pc and consoles, at a fraction of the price! Anyone interested in this game just needs to search and read/watch reviews - there are plenty. In short- the game is part Rune Factory, Animal Crossing, and RuneScape with a sprinkle of Zelda. The touchscreen controls work very well in my opinion and it’s a perfect game to play for both short and long bursts. It’s a great fit for phones and having the ability to play this game truly anywhere on the fly is great! It also has cross saves and cross play with the pc and console versions. The price of $25 may be steep for the mobile market, but you’re getting a full game that has all the same content as its $60 base game counterpart on pc and consoles. This is a steal!
This game is amazing, I have the switch version so I was excited to see that a mobile port was available. The game supports external controllers and has online play. In my opinion the game is well worth the prices especially considering the amount of content. You can easily get 100+ hours out of the game if you’d like. 10/10
I’ve only played a couple of hours, but this already has it’s hooks in me. Gameplay loop is fun - good for longer sessions to just relax and also for shorter spurts when you’re out and are killing time. Bonus points for cloud saves between devices which is always nice.
Great port! Even better than switch 2 in quality and performance. The only issue is the on-screen controls. They bloat the screen on the right side when trying to move the camera etc. Hopefully, we can get an update to resize and move the buttons wherever we need them to be in the future.
I have played over 300 hours on the pc version. I intended to play through another 100 at least on my phone haha. Controls could be improved but not problematic. (I would use a controller/backbone if it bothers you). Haven’t tested but controller works flawlessly on pc.
It’s a really good port and you can play it offline. Lots to do in it and it’s a little grindy but only if you want it to be. Like RuneScape and animal crossing combined, has exploration and a rouge like mode little into the story.
I love this game visually and it’s extremely fun but I only complaint is that the developers need to have the option to replace the buttons cause I’m using a controller and please remove the bars. I like that you can enhance the resolution
