A polished, feature-rich underwater city-building game based on Greek mythology.

How to play

A whale visits Atlantis.

The object of Atlantis Fantasy is to create a functioning metropolis with complete infrastructure including housing and other buildings, agriculture, production and management of resources – all the while keeping the population of the underwater town happy. Any production unit’s manufacturing time can be accelerated using premium currency. Players can give the Atlanteans, depicted as little mermaids and mermen, specific tasks and prioritize development.

The game has a multitude of resources: Apart from the premium currency Pearls, there is soft currency Gold Coins, happiness, player level, population of the city and an energy bar. Around 200 missions aim to keep both new and hardcore gamers busy – missions include ruins restoration or finding hidden treasures.

Crops in underwater agriculture include sea strawberries and sea cucumbers.

Atlantis Fantasy’s lush graphics live up to social games’ risen standards; the underwater world is impressive especially when majestic whales and other sea dwellers are gliding gently through the waters.
