Level-5 Announces Roguelike DLC for FANTASY LIFE i: The Girl Who Steals Time on Nintendo Switch

Level-5 has officially revealed the latest free content update for their Nintendo Switch title, "FANTASY LIFE i: The Girl Who Steals Time." Titled "The Sinister Broker Bazario’s Schemes," this major downloadable content (DLC) introduces a brand-new roguelike mode and an array of exclusive items.

The update is scheduled to launch later this month via the Nintendo eShop, further expanding the imaginative adventure for players worldwide. Launched on July 27, 2023, "FANTASY LIFE i: The Girl Who Steals Time" marked Level-5's return to the beloved life simulation RPG series, which originally debuted on Nintendo 3DS.

Developed and published by Level-5, the title builds on the franchise’s signature blend of RPG mechanics, creative quests, and community-driven gameplay.

With the introduction of the latest DLC, Level-5 brings additional depth and replayability to the experience. According to official details provided by the developer, the "Bazario’s Schemes" DLC centers on the arrival of a mysterious character named Bazario at the game’s Base Camp.

Players will find themselves transported to “Snoozaland,” a surreal dream world operating under roguelike principles.

Each session begins with characters at level 1, devoid of gear, requiring them to gather resources, learn new "Lives"—the game’s unique job and skill system—and defeat shifting enemies and bosses. "Players can expect a new adventure every time they enter Snoozaland, with procedurally generated maps and enemy types," Level-5 stated in their latest announcement.

Clearing missions unlocks further progression, culminating in high-stakes boss battles, including the area’s "Nightmare Mastermind." Victorious players will earn rare crafting materials and items, which can be traded for mounts, equipment, and decorative objects exclusive to this DLC.

Notably, any items acquired within Snoozaland can also be transferred for use in the main game. The update doesn't stop at new areas or gameplay mechanics.

Players will also encounter novel companions, such as the Drowsy Mimic, which rewards the first player to interact with it, and the Alchemy Robots, offering randomized item creation opportunities in exchange for surplus materials.

The DLC teases a challenging boss fight against "The Primordial Dragon," set to appear in a future update. "FANTASY LIFE i: The Girl Who Steals Time" continues to evolve on Nintendo Switch, showcasing Level-5’s commitment to rich post-launch support and player engagement.

As the game’s community anticipates the free launch of "The Sinister Broker Bazario’s Schemes" DLC later this month, Level-5 reinforces its reputation for delivering imaginative and value-driven expansions to its fan-favorite titles. Players can find the update on the Nintendo eShop and keep up with the latest news from Level-5 through official channels and the ongoing Nintendo Direct presentations.
