• Rune Factory Review

Story The story begins as you wander into the outskirts of Kardia Village, a small town on the eastern border of Adonea Continent in Norad Country. You were tired and passed out in front of a house. The house’s door were opened and a woman came out ad saw you were lying down. After you’ve regained your consciousness you asked her if she could spare you some food and water, however, the girls gave you hoe and watering can. After all the misunderstanding finally she gave what you want. After you’re eaten, you realized you have amnesia, no memories of your name or how you get to that town. Out of pity, the woman earlier, known as Mist will lend you a house and land that has been abandoned for a while since she’s not using it. Then your story starts. General Information Rune Factory takes the typical Harvest Moon features such as raising crops and marriage, and combines them into a fantasy atmosphere of magic and monsters. Instead of buying cows and chickens, you must befriend the Rune Factory monster versions livestock in order to produce milk and eggs on your farm. The game also has a set story line to follow. There isn't a time limit to unlocking events so you can rush through and beat the game in as little as a year, or take your time and finish the main story whenever you feel like it. Once you've solved the mystery surrounding Kardia Village's caves, the story ends but the game continues on indefinitely. You also have a variety of weapons types to choose from for cave exploring, and can purchase magic spells for help. Each cave has a variety of monsters to battle against, with a boss monster at the end of the path. You must defeat the boss in order to unlock the next cave in succession. Besides farming and livestock, you can craft your own weapons with the workshops attached to your farmhouse. You must craft your own high-end weapon if you expect to successfully defeat the later cave bosses. Nevertheless the good aspect of the game, this game has a big problem with the inventory window. It will make anyone confused by the first glances even after you’ve played it for a while. This complicated inventory slots system is a major aspect that brings down the value of the game. Overall, this game is awesome, the idea of having farming-battling game is brilliant. My score for this game is 8/10.
