About this game

FANTASY LIFE i: The Girl Who Steals Time combines an island mystery with activities organised around different vocations. Fish, mine, cut timber or harvest crops, then choose a crafting vocation to make equipment, furniture, meals and other items. Quick Life Change lets you switch vocations instantly, while combat offers swords, bows and magic with offensive and healing uses. The island is also a place to build: reshape its terrain, erect buildings and decorate your house. Beyond home, explore Ginormosia by climbing, swimming and riding, or plant a Treasure Grove sapling to grow a dungeon whose layout changes after each clearance. The story brings these activities into a mystery involving a time-travelling Bone Dragon.

8.0 / 10Nintendo Switch

A natural fit for players who like giving gathering, crafting and adventuring a place in the same routine.

Instant vocation changes suggest room to follow a material-gathering detour or switch back to combat without committing to one role. Island construction and changing dungeons offer different kinds of goals, which may appeal to players who enjoy choosing their own focus.

Strengths

  • Gathering and crafting vocations can give collected resources a practical purpose in equipment and home decoration.
  • Terrain editing and house decoration provide personal projects alongside monster battles.

Who it is for: Players who enjoy alternating between making things, shaping a home base and exploring with different combat roles.
