Description

About the Game

The Celestial Collapse—a calamity caused by a colossal object crashing into the eastern lands known as Azuma. The devastating impact sent fragments of terrain to the skies above and the seas below. With the earth shattered, the power provided by the runes ceased to flow. The gods of nature vanished soon after. Mountains crumbled and fields withered, leaving the people with nothing…not even hope.

You awaken, startled by a dream of dueling dragons. You don’t remember how or why, but a voice resonates within you.

"Accept the power of an Earth Dancer. Use this power to save the land." 

Experience Rune Factory reimagined! Guardians of Azuma is an all-new adventure that takes place in the never-before-seen eastern country of Azuma. Embrace your Earth Dancer powers and fight against the corruption spreading throughout Azuma to bring hope back to this once-prosperous land.

Bold New Abilities and Weapons

As an Earth Dancer, use the power of dance, sacred treasures, and fresh weapons like the Bow and Talisman to purify the land, your farms, and undo the Blight’s damage.

It Takes a Village

Don’t just mind the farm—rebuild entire villages! Construct and place buildings, enticing people to return to the villages and contribute. Revive the gods to bring vitality and valuable resources back to the plagued lands.

Your Fantasy Japanese Life

Experience beautiful Japanese-inspired character designs and aesthetics—from festivals, events, and monsters. Explore Azuma’s natural landscapes and its seasonal-themed locales steeped in tradition.

Classic Romance and Relationships

Choose between male and female protagonists, then befriend or romance any of the eligible candidates in fully voiced scenarios. Recruit these new friends to aid you in battle, too!

Rune Factory games are my bread and butter. Hands down my favourite farmings sims, in a fantasy setting. However, I have rated this one down, not because I didn’t enjoy it or play it a lot, but I feel like these games

Went into this game with low expectations and now it’s one of my all-time favorites! It’s fun, laid-back, and a really good city manager game. Definitely recommend it if you like slice of life type anime with those

I'll preface this by saying that I have never played a RF game before, so I have nothing to compare it to with regards to previous versions. That said, I've rather enjoyed my time in the game (almost at 100 hours now)

As a stand-alone game that just happens to be set in the Rune Factory universe: this game is boring and generic. Combat is just button mashing. Bosses are a find-the-weakness-element minigame. Also it feels short, its
