Fantasy Life 2

Android, iOS

This lightweight but agreeable 3DS job-juggling game gets a follow-up for mobile platforms, Level-5’s CEO explaining the studio is shifting platforms to follow the adult audience. Largely similar to the original, there’s more of a town-building focus, with you recruiting NPCs to your village, though you’ll still be able to adopt up to 12 roles yourself. You might be the woodcutter who builds up the lumber stock, say, before becoming the knight that tangles with the monsters outside your enclave. Hopefully this mild refinement on the formula won’t be aggressively monetised; the original was already a little heavy on the grind.
