Ancient-style family life simulation
Splendid Life, developed by Mibai Games, is an ancient-style family simulation game where players take on the role of a family head. The game focuses on improving your abilities, guiding your family’s development, choosing a wife, educating your children, and making decisions that shape your family’s future. Its premise centers on family management, life choices, and building a lasting legacy across an ancient setting.
As the head of the family, players are responsible for leading each family member toward prosperity. The growth of family members and the choices made throughout the game influence the family’s development and destiny. These decisions affect different outcomes and basic stats, giving the game a strategic layer beyond simple life simulation. However, because the gameplay centers heavily on decision-making and family progression, some choices and events may start to feel repetitive during longer play sessions.
Guiding your family through meaningful choices
Professions and dynasty progression
The game is set in ancient times and allows players to choose from a variety of professions. Each profession has its own promotion path and corresponding ranks, with hidden ranks that can unlock special quests connected to a change of dynasty. This gives career progression a larger role in shaping both the character’s status and the broader direction of the game.
Building wealth through shops and trade
Wealth management is another major part of Splendid Life. Players can operate different businesses, including a general store, blacksmith shop, apothecary, and pawn shop. Hiring staff helps increase income, while cross-country trading can significantly boost the family’s wealth. These systems give players more resources and options when facing life events.
Family legacy in ancient times
Splendid Life brings family management, character growth, career progression, business ownership, and trading together in an ancient-style life simulation. By leading a household through important choices and unexpected events, players can build prosperity over time while shaping a family legacy that carries across generations.
