Prices
Each in the currency that store quoted — not converted: the gap between two rows is the publisher's pricing, not an exchange rate.
Charts
Each storefront's own chart, in its own country — the closest public signal to sales where none is published. A country missing from a list is one we don't collect there, not one where the game doesn't chart.
No United States chart position — it charts only in the markets below.
Discounts
Every price cut of more than 20% we have observed, in each market that quoted one, with this game's chart position on either side of it. These are episodes, not a model: a sale is one event, and one event cannot tell you what the next one will do.
Reviews, worldwide (the counter carries no country): 0.14/day in the week to Sep 3 → 2.14/day in the week after.
For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Brazil over the last 30 days: the 26 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 7 places towards #1, and the 2,402 moves with no price cut behind them went 2 away. One store, one chart, one country — it is the only place we have enough observations to say even that.
Prices outside the United States have been collected since 6 August 2026 and chart positions since 19 July 2026, so a cut older than that has no market to compare and a market that joined later has no history yet. Nothing here is converted between currencies.
About
The Celestial Collapse—a calamity caused by a colossal object crashing into the eastern lands known as Azuma. The devastating impact sent fragments of terrain to the skies above and the seas below. With the earth shattered, the power provided by the runes ceased to flow. The gods of nature vanished soon after. Mountains crumbled and fields withered, leaving the people with nothing…not even hope.
You awaken, startled by a dream of dueling dragons. You don’t remember how or why, but a voice resonates within you.
"Accept the power of an Earth Dancer. Use this power to save the land."
Experience Rune Factory reimagined! Guardians of Azuma is an all-new adventure that takes place in the never-before-seen eastern country of Azuma. Embrace your Earth Dancer powers and fight against the corruption spreading throughout Azuma to bring hope back to this once-prosperous land.
As an Earth Dancer, use the power of dance, sacred treasures, and fresh weapons like the Bow and Talisman to purify the land, your farms, and undo the Blight’s damage.
Don’t just mind the farm—rebuild entire villages! Construct and place buildings, enticing people to return to the villages and contribute. Revive the gods to bring vitality and valuable resources back to the plagued lands.
Experience beautiful Japanese-inspired character designs and aesthetics—from festivals, events, and monsters. Explore Azuma’s natural landscapes and its seasonal-themed locales steeped in tradition.
Choose between male and female protagonists, then befriend or romance any of the eligible candidates in fully voiced scenarios. Recruit these new friends to aid you in battle, too!

한국어 없는것도 좀 짜증나긴한데 문제는 말이 존나게 많아.. 열받아서 스킵을 해도 스킵을 하고 스킵을 하고나면 농사랑 전투 하라고 던져주는데 농사는 딸깍딸깍하면 되긴함 근데 전투가 너무 재미가없음.. 적당히 회피하고서 콤보도 필요없고 평캔 쥰내 하면 다 녹음 이게 무슨 게임인지 현타가옴
This has so far been my favorite Rune factory title. Its close to RF4 complete edition. The combat is more fluent the 3rd person perspective is less overwhelming like it is in RF5.. Yes the gathering is simpler and less time consuming once you get to mid game. But some people have jobs and family so they dont want the grind, thats not to say the grind is completely gone there will still be times you have to hunt down certain monsters or ores for things. I do have a few complaints the biggest one being Monster taming why not just make the people monsters and keep the same system... I feel like the romanceable characters have less effort put in them then other titles all of them fill shallow. I find myself hitting skip alot more than in other titles. lastly decorations... just why its such a waste of time

Great fun, chill and no stress.
Bisher mein erstes Rune Factory und ich muss sagen, dass sowohl die Story als auch das Gameplay absolut überzeugt. Die Charaktere sind sehr detailliert und machen das Spiel so liebenswert. Das Kampfsystem mit den unterschiedlichen Fähigkeiten und Waffen ist auch sehr abwechslungsreich und leicht zu händeln. Es wird nie langweilig, denn es gibt genug Nebenquest und auch das Gestalten der Dörfer hat mir richtig Spaß gemacht. Vielleicht hätte ich mir noch etwas mehr Auswahl am Charakterdesign gewünscht wie Frisuren und Kleidung, aber darauf kann ich gerne verzichten. Umso schöner ist die gesamte Atmosphäre, hier hat man sehr viel Herzblut reingesteckt!
Tatsächlich meine erste Rezension... Ich liebe Farmsims...hab mit Harvest Moon auf SNES damals angefangen. Bei der RF Reihe bin ich aber tatsächlich erst vor kurzem eingestiegen mit RF 4S. Super Story aber etwas veraltete Mechanik...aber sehr wertvoll an sich. Dann war ich getriggert und hab RF 5 gespielt. Ich persönlich fand das eigentlich ganz nice wobei die Story so lala war. Kein Vergleich zu 4 wo man schon mitfiebert. AAAAber GoA ist Hammer. Kann man nicht anders sagen. Ich und meine Kids lieben Anime und das Japanische authentische Setting hat so richtig gepackt. Die Story ist wesentlich durchdachter und mitreißender als bei Teil 5 allerdings höchstens gleich auf wie bei Teil 4 würde ich schätzen. Ich persönlich wurde wunderbar unterhalten. Es ist ein Spin-Off also sind meine Kritikpunkte eher ungerechtfertigt jedoch würde ich mir wünschen an Spielmechaniken wie farmen etc aus den Vorgängerteilen festzuhalten. Hier wird man mit Items wirklich überschüttet. GoA hat sehr sehr viel QoL Features...Tasche voll? Items gehen gleich in Aufbewahrungskiste die quasi gefühlt endlos Sloty hat. Die Stacks sind viel größer....sowas halt alles. Was mich aber wirklich immer aufs neue lächeln lässt sind die Charaktere welche unfassbar liebevoll gestaltet wurden. Die Detailverliebtheit ist wahnsinn. Z.B. ist die Sprachausgabe Englisch jedoch gibt es eine quasi "Eingereiste" aus einem fernen Imperium die einfach stumpf "Guten Tag" auf deutsch ausspricht...Deutsche und Japanische Verbindungen werden auch hier, wie in vielen Anime gepflegt. Das finde ich toll! Unterm Strich absolut empfehlenswertes Spiel!
Amazing game with an amazing story with in depth characters 10/10
pretty good game, maybe the best rune factory in terms of content
Not a bad game by itself but for a rune factory a bad knockoff. This reimagening stripped it off any resemblance with the other runefactory games. It is really without any character of its own.
Если бы не большой ценник за игру и отсутствие русской локализаций то у нас бы игра имела бы приличное комьюнити ибо проект топ и заметен прогресс с тем что было в прошлом. Порадовало ещё то как вымахала Хина и это уже не маленький ребёнок которого надо было спасать. Радует так же наличие парочка бесплатных дополнений хоть и до младшей помощницы я ещё не добрался. А из партнёров на вечерок близкий тут уже что со стороны парней играя за девушку что со стороны дам (Хина в их числе) за парня разбегаются глаза а можно поди и закомансить походу и с тем кем могли бы играть не поверни курсор мыши чуть в другую сторону). В общем игра отличная и мечтаю о русской локализаций. Но поди нейронка будет в последующем этот вопрос.
Having beaten the game in full all I can say is, it honestly just feels like a very OK game. Most, if not all, systems don't have any more depth than a puddle and that does not change throughout the game. It does at least have a few cute characters, but even then, the bond/romance system offers no depth either. The story likewise was kind of just there, it did its job, neither terrible nor anything to write home about. Relatively cliché and without any real surprises. While the game did run smooth throughout my playthrough, it had a habit of freezing up entirely once in a while only to resume as normal shortly after. If there was a neutral option, this would probably be it, but I can't honestly recommend the game like this.
