After selling over 1.5m copies and stealing most of my summer, Fantasy Life i is coming to mobile with cross-save

Fantasy Life i: The Girl Who Steals Time was one of last year's most pleasant surprises, successfully managing to suck up most of my summer with its brilliant mix of Animal Crossing-style life sim and swashbuckling RPG adventure.

And now it's coming to iOS and Android with cross-save, meaning you can take your existing games with you on-the-go.

Developed by Professor Layton studio Level-5, Fantasy Life i: The Girl Who Steals Time is the second outing for the Fantasy Life series, which originated on Nintendo 3DS all the way back in 2012.

Despite almost a decade between instalments, the fundamentals remain the same, meaning you're essentially playing as a classic RPG hero - facing the usual world-ending calamity - but one who needs to get a job to pave their way.

.

Or jobs as the case may be.

Back in the past, you learn new trades, becoming a trainee mercenary, perhaps, or a paladin, a hunter, a magician, an angler, a miner, a farmer, a woodcutter, a cook, a blacksmith, a carpenter, and more.
