Our take on the Fantasy Life i: The Girl Who Steal - Nintendo Switch

Fantasy Life i is a slow-life RPG for the Nintendo Switch. You switch freely between 14 Lives, which are jobs like fishing, cooking, crafting and combat, and build up a deserted island by gathering, building and decorating. A time-travel story links the present island to its thriving past 1,000 years earlier. It suits players who want a relaxed life sim with light action rather than a story-driven RPG, and it leans more on job variety and town building than the 3DS original did.
