Is Walk of Life worth it for you?
We tell you who should skip it, too.
Play it if you…
Good fit- Groups of up to six friends who want a competitive party game
- Solo players who want to compete against computer-controlled opponents
- Players who enjoy board-game-style turns with role-specific objectives
Skip it if you…
Saves you a refund- Players seeking a story-driven life simulator may find the competitive race and board-game turn structure restrictive
- Players who prefer stable progression may bounce off the random events and changing life circumstances
- Players looking for a large-scale strategy game may find the focus on personal health, education, work, and hygiene too narrow
Our take on Walk of Life
Players who want direct control over a long-term career path may hit a wall when random events and role-specific bonus quests begin redirecting the match. The turn-based competition prioritizes reacting to changing circumstances over building one carefully planned life.
What is Walk of Life?
In this multiplayer life-management game, as many as six players compete in matches with friends, computer-controlled rivals, or alone.
Each participant picks a role with its own style of play, then uses turn-based, board-game-like actions to balance health, schooling, work, and hygiene. Earnings may come from occupations such as cooking at a fast-food restaurant or managing a bank, or from lottery winnings. Chance events can shift circumstances during a match. Available roles include the Workaholic, Scavenger, and Mystic, with separate play approaches and quests that award bonus points. The aim is to place first while making choices about routine needs and career development.
