    Meh

    Not really my cup of tea for an rpg. Graphics are awful in my opinion, I know it’s a switch but they seem pretty outdated for 2022-23. Combat and movement is clunky. UI isn’t very seamless. This is my first time with a rune factory game and probably my last.

    Fun at your own pace.

    The farming aspect is fun and fleshed out. The combat side of things is okay, but not as good other games more foucsed on combat.

    A Farmers Life For Me

    Half RPG, half farming sim, this is a game that has it all. An easy introduction to rpg elements but has the farming life goodness you crave.

    Its good

    So this is my first rune factory game and i love it. Some things are hard to understand because i’m not used to how things work and the mechanics of the game are what first gen players are used too. Example knocking fruit out of the tree with your bracelet. I would’ve have known that if I didn’t ask Allegra Clark on her stream for some help. I like the dungeons and the farming balance, the voice actors are amazing and add in good depth to the game. - Ruby’s daughter
