Fantasy Life 2 announced… for iOS and Android mobile devices
LEVEL-5 has been teasing the idea of a sequel to Fantasy Life on Nintendo 3DS off and on for quite a while now, and they’ve finally delivered on the announcement today. Except it’s probably not quite what you were expecting: Fantasy Life 2: Two Moons and the Village of God is releasing this summer in Japan for iOS and Android mobile devices.
As far as we can tell at this early stage, Fantasy Life 2 doesn’t seem to much of a sequel at all aside from a new Village feature to collect villagers and build up your town, certainly a feature that gives off a mobile game vibe but also more of an Animal Crossing vibe. The graphics seem extremely similar and the game takes place in the same maps as well as the same 12 lives as far as we know.
Fantasy Life is a mostly great game on the Nintendo 3DS (more on that soon, my long delayed review is scheduled to go up this month) and truly deserves a full true-to-life sequel at some point no matter the platform with brand new maps and lives. For more information and screenshots on Fantasy Life 2: Two Moons and the Village of God, check out the official website in Japanese at LEVEL-5.
