Rune Factory 4 marks the return of the popular Harvest Moon spinoff that combines farming with dungeon adventuring. For the first time in the series, the player can select to play as a male or female hero, and potential suitors of either gender are also available in order to pursue love, marriage, and possibly a child. As the newly-appointed prince or princess, you can fulfill your royal duties of protecting the town from invaders, or take a more rural approach to governing by raising your own fruits and vegetables and helping townsfolk. Should some dungeon adventuring be on the days itinerary, you can select from the castles vast armament of swords, spears, and staffs along with magic for battle against dangerous foes, or even bring along a companion or friendly monster to aid you during your travels.

If you're considering diving into the Rune Factory series, there's no better place to start than with Rune Factory 4.

Good entry
I've played through the story of this game twice and if there's a flaw in it, it is that the story ends before you can actually form relationships with most of the rescued characters. Once you fly with the dragon and roll credits I sort of check out.

a caccia di rune
gioco carino e piacevolissimo, sebbene non il mio tipo. molto lungo e grosso focus sull'agricoltura, crafting e relazioni, che non è ciò che cerco in un gioco. dungeon carini, anche se il combattimento è impreciso. Voto: 7.8/10
