Customers are saying

Customers often highlight the enjoyable gameplay, captivating story, and beautiful art book and steelbook included in the Earthmate edition of Rune Factory 5. However, some customers reported performance issues, including frame rate drops and occasional glitches. The difficulty of placing furniture was also a common complaint. Despite these drawbacks, many players found the game to be worthwhile.

    Nice addition for the collection!

    Very fun game! I'm a long standing fan of this series and was a little upset by how the graphics were initially, but after playing more than 100 hours of it I understand that it was optimized to play the game for long hours in a sitting (6-8 hours) without the switch dying. One of my biggest issues with SMT5, one of the prettiest open world game on switch, was the fact that once you got into the story (2-3 hours in) the battery would be drained while docked. Don't let the first look turn you off from the gameplay. The story doesn't take itself too seriously and you will laugh at the awful memes when you least expect it. It improved a lot of the quest confusion from the last game in the series and is definitely worth the fun as a hybrid of both farming and role playing game. The art book in the earthmate edition is nice and acts as a cheat sheet for villager likes and dislikes and the steel book case is very beautiful. Comes with a mock officer manual that is a nice touch. The Cd included is not the soundtrack for the game though, I was happily surprised to find out that it was a collection of the the most memorable tunes from all 7 games.

    Collector's box was in great condition. The booklet that came inside had really nice artwork of the characters and places in the game. Steelbook was really nice as well.
