Reviews around rpg (5.00 of 5)

  • A great RPG combining Harvest Moon with a blend of dungeon crawling
  • I've played Harvest Moon games since it was on the PS1, have played Rune Factory 2 and 3, and I love RPG and life simulator games like Animal Crossing games,
  • If you like rpg, storyline and fighting with the chances of love then this is for you.
  • I adore Bravely Default - but it has one of the blandest stories in a GOOD RPG I've played in awhile.
  • It's almost like a mix of Harvest Moon, Pokemon, and a classic RPG all rolled into one

Reviews around lot (4.56 of 5)

  • Cons-There is zero voice acting in this game other then the occasional "Hello" or catchphrase, which is weird because they have a lot of famous voice actors in it like Vic Mignogna, Melissa Fahn, Yuri Lowenthal, and so on.-The bachelors/bachelorettes can be pretty one-dimensional or cliche at times.-No homo
  • One of the best games I've ever played spent more then 100 hours on itThe plot and story is really good and made me cry a lot ( in a good way
  • There's a lot of friendship potential in this game, and I love that I have a choice of most of the townsfolk to bring with me into fights
  • There's also different difficulty levels, which I appreciate a lot
  • This is just the type of game I love, lots of RPG elements, a fun combat mechanic, and all that anyone would love in a Harvest Moon game

Reviews around story (4.42 of 5)

  • And the Game is AMAZING, beautiful graphic, great story line and characters
  • The game is very light-hearted, chock full of humour and great characters and the story is quite good as well
  • I fell in love with the plot line, the story that you followed, but then the actual game started moving forward
  • The art work is great, its humorous story and heartwarming characters pulled me into the game, the music is wonderful
  • You run from dungeon to dungeon freeing `guardians' and at points when the game could honestly throw the player for a solid twist... the story just seems to shrug it's shoulders in a big `eh

Reviews around series (4.26 of 5)

  • Even if another developer picks up the franchise, they might ruin the series - as so many other developers have done to other series
  • That being the case I also love the Animal Crossing & Harvest Moon series.

Reviews around factory (3.86 of 5)

  • If you love Harvest Moon and other previous Rune Factory you'll love it

Reviews around farm (3.82 of 5)

  • However, the farming and other boring chores are very much tempered by the dungeon's, storyline, and family fun adventure
  • It is very concise and developed having both easy and advanced aspects to farming
  • The battling is fun, the characters are hilarious, and the farming is fun.
  • I wanted to try a harvest moon type game but was worried the farming would get boring after a while and ended picking this up since it looked like there was more variety in activities.
  • Great characters, great farming mechanics, engaging combat and a fun story.

Reviews around thing (3.28 of 5)

  • It works much better than Rune Factory 1, where the player often had no idea where to get their tools or had to do silly things like tilling land in a cave to gain a permit to the next area
  • Great game real similar to animal crossing but some things are harder to accoplish like the whole marriage thing.
  • There are so many wonderful things about this game that I'd make this review super long if I listed and spoke about each one
  • One thing that I didn't take advantage of much in the other Rune Factory games, is befriending a monster and taking it with me to fight
  • It certainly wasn't the case, and I disliked the way in which I felt forced to have to fight in the game to gain more farming things

Reviews around dialogue (1.95 of 5)

  • The town in Rune Factory is full of interesting characters with funny dialogue sprinkled here and there
  • I'm starting to notice more of the humorous dialogue between my character and the characters of Selphia
  • One of the biggest problems is how completely simplistic and circuitous the dialogue is
  • The characters took a bit of getting used to, but now I love them just as much as in RF3

Reviews around enemy (1.00 of 5)

  • Kill enemies, fight bosses and find loot that you can sell off or use
  • The combos were redonk, you could stun enemies, throw them for even more damage and the ultimate attack sent you flying across the map out of danger
