"Fantasy Life" was a notable role-playing video game developed by Level-5 along with the assistance of Brownie Brown and h.a.n.d. for the Nintendo 3DS handheld released in 2013.
It has sold over 300,000 copies in Japan and was patronized by most 3DS users worldwide. Since then players of "Fantasy Life" had been clamoring for a sequel.
Yesterday, a sequel of the game called "Fantasy Life 2: Two Moons and the Village of God" has been confirmed at Level-5 Vision 2015 event in Japan.
But Nintendo 3DS owners may not be happy about the news. It was announced that the game developers have decided to skip the release on the handheld device. The game is set to be released on smartphones in Japan this Summer, Siliconera reported.
Meanwhile, Attackof the Fanboy added that there will still be similarities on the original game especially on its visual art style, reported first by Siliconera.
''As far as the gameplay is concerned, there will certainly be similarities to the last game in the series, though a number of alterations have been made both for the mobile platform and in general. Fantasy Life 2 will feature a heavier emphasis on the new 'Village' mechanic, where you try to collect villagers as you build your city. There iwll still be 12 different Lifes to try out though, so classic gameplay should still be present. Familiar characters will return, and you can try to team up with them or others to take on monsters that lurk nearby. The art-style is reminiscent of the first Fantasy Life game, so fans shouldn't be disappointed here,'' Attack of the Fanboy wrote.
"Fantasy Life 2: Two Moons and the Village of God" release date has been confirmed to be available for download on PlayStore and iTunes, while the game developers are still mum about its international release.
