Our Expert Score

87/100

Various Daylife is a fascinating experiment from the creators of Octopath Traveler and Bravely Default. It’s a hybrid of a 'Life Sim' and a traditional 'JRPG,' and it works surprisingly well for mobile play. Instead of spending your time exploring dungeons, the bulk of the game is about 'Work.' You choose daily jobs that raise specific stats, but they also cost stamina and have their own unique storylines.

The combat is turn-based and features a clever 'Chain' and 'Change' system that emphasizes status effects and teamwork over pure power. The art style is gorgeous—colorful, soft, and full of character. It’s a game meant for slow, steady progression. It’s less about the 'epic quest' and more about the daily life of an explorer in a new land. It’s charming, unique, and deeply satisfying for fans of the genre who want something a bit different.

■Story

In the year 211 of the Imperial Era, a new continent was discovered. Explore its every last corner as a settler of Antoecia, while living your life to the fullest in the city of Erebia.

■Features

• Character growth through everyday work

VARIOUS DAYLIFE features over 20 job classes and more than 100 types of work for those jobs to perform. Since you’ll be able to increase your strength through physical labor or improve your magic with more mentally taxing tasks, you can shape your character how you see fit depending on your choice of work.

• Overcome dungeons with skilled management

Choose what limited rations, items and camping gear you can pack in your bags as you leave the safety of the city to confront the unknown. You'll battle monsters, bad weather, and food spoilage out on the various frontiers of Antoecia. When the going gets tough, will you press onward, or retreat to explore another day?

You’ll have to make these kinds of decisions as you trailblaze a way across the continent, where none have trod before.

• Innovative Battle System – The Three CHAs

Introducing a twist to the traditional job-and-ability, turn-based battle, with a unique system that relies heavily on working together with your allies. CHANGE your foes' conditions, build up a CHAIN of attacks and seize your CHANCE at inflicting heavy damage!
