About
Two seasoned professionals of the farming and life simulation genre—producer Yoshifumi Hashimoto and artist Igusa Matsuyama—have come together to create WORTH LIFE, a side-scrolling fantasy RPG. Playing as one of 30 individuals summoned by the king, WORTH LIFE sees you set off on a journey to save the kingdom from a terrible fate. During your quest, you’ll be able to raise crops on vacant lots you come across, and build houses for people in need. You’ll even be able to take up your sword and bow to face off against monsters. Forge your own path to restoring prosperity and happiness to the kingdom!
Key Features
- Play Your Way – Choose your character’s look and then start exploring! You can switch your appearance anytime you want!
- Curiosity Sparks New Possibilities! Welcome to the Spark System – As you journey through the kingdom, you will encounter a host of colorful characters and unique experiences. Check out things that catch your eye to trigger a “Spark” and unlock a new skill.
- Spark New Skills During Your Quest – You can spark all manner of handy skills as you battle monsters and travel across the land.
- Find Vacant Lots and Use Them Any Way You Want – Acquire unused lots you stumble across while on your journey. You’re free to choose how to use the lots! Till the land and grow crops, dig out a fishing pond, or build a house to rent to townspeople!

- Choose Your Difficulty Level – You can choose from three difficulty levels when starting the game: Normal, Hard, and Master. Monsters have significantly higher HP and attack power in Hard and Master, so pick a level that suits your playstyle.
