"Tales of Terrarum: Fantasy Life Sim Now Open for Pre-Registration"

If you went back decades and told someone at the dawn of video games that one of the most popular genres wouldn't be shooters or platformers, but life-simulation games, they'd probably think you were crazy. But if the huge crop of them already released wasn't enough, we have another name to add to the roster: Tales of Terrarum.

Set in the enchanting fantasy world of Terrarum, you step into the shoes of a descendant of the noble Francz family, inheriting a piece of land ripe for development. As the new mayor of your burgeoning town, your primary goal is to nurture its growth and prosperity.

Tales of Terrarum isn't just another Animal Crossing-esque life simulation. It challenges you to expand your town's businesses and industry, requiring careful financial management and fostering strong relationships with your residents. As your town flourishes, you'll have the opportunity to form adventuring parties and dispatch them into the wider world. These brave groups will confront enemies and return with valuable loot, further fueling your town's expansion.

To the terrarumWhile Terrarum does have a few areas that could use polish, such as the somewhat uneven localization in promotional materials, the game's fresh take on the life-simulation genre is undeniably exciting. The fantasy setting, often underutilized in life-sims, adds a unique twist that appeals to those dreaming of crafting their own charming, fantasy-inspired town.

You can pre-register for Tales of Terrarum on either Google Play or the iOS App Store!
