⭐️ Review: B - Tier ”Good”

Not the greatest Rune Factory title but really good regardless. Still the best farming franchise by far (looking at you Stardew Valley 👀).

This game actually inspired me to start reviewing and making tier lists back when I completed it. Wrote an entire 30+ paragraph review back then but now it’s lost to the world. Just know that I really liked the story, the dungeons, the characters, and the music, but at the same time, all these things are just not quite good enough and could use some work and polish.

Completed on hard difficulty and it was kinda fun grinding between each area. The weapon and armor system is too complicated and bizarre though, probably the worst part of the game.

Farming loop / reward system is as perfect as a multi-decade farming sim franchise can be. Furniture, housing, and decorating is a bit bare bones. Marriage is good and I’m glad they have the alternate gender outfits so you can have the
allusion of an LGBT+ relationship.

8/10

100% = ☑️ | Soundtrack: ”not rated”
(good ^ enough) - don’t want to marry every single character and do all the newlywed modes.
