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 23 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 14 places towards #1, and the 2,420 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!

Reviews
It's a farming/life sim! Just kinda average. The only thing I really dislike about this game is the graphics. It feels like it was made with weak machines/consoles in mind. If they didn't have a great deal recently, I would have gotten this game on the Switch, and I'd probably be enjoying it more too. Like, everything's sharp, but it's also so bland, and the environments are very potato-y looking (mainly the ground. Any ground). I thought Rune Factory 5 was the same way: a little bland, but overall, enjoyable, with some pretty cliche writing. I do like this new art style, though. That's a step up. I'm glad they decided to experiment with this spin-off. If you decide to get this game: try to wait until it's on sale.
A little rough around the edges, but this offering of Rune Factory is still a good entry in an extremely solid franchise. Give it a shot for that sweet Japanese vibe.

i love this game more than i thought i would
史诗级画面以及技术力进步!
booba shake, booba good. dami approves of this beautiful game
I'm leaving this review out of spite for the game auto-swapping charas with trash stats into my party in main quests.
Okay, done. I don't married anyone yet, but done with all the date for iroha, matsuri, hina and ululuka. Kanata just start bonding and doesn't really do anything toward clarice yet. 1. wife ranking prob: iroha-hina-kanata-clarice(?)-matsuri-ululuka It's a tough battle between hina and iroha, but iroha swimsuit close the deal for me. As for clarice, it is my "expectation" of her character seeing the little interaction we have on msq. If it turn out meh, she prob gonna be below matsuri. 2. i like the story is a continuation of the main franchise (sequel), not just a one-off or oneshot, with different universe. 3. Combat is fine. I kinda dislike the combat turn into a "perfect dodge-sacred treasure ult-boss die" 4. The village management is the interesting part, it is good for casual play to mine and logging but it suck at the main aspect of rf which is farming. AI is stupid and slow af, they better of to do something else like fishing instead. 5. they simplify farming, cooking and upgrading. No time consuming tending farm with overhead view mode, no lv on cooking material like oil and such, no OP price for turning crop into food, and no more overdesign and complicated upgrade (which has its cons and pros) 6. I hate they lock pilika romance on paid dlc 😔 Time to play the real endgame of the game. Designing your village!!
💮 C'était mon premier Rune Factory ! 💮 Franchement j'ai bien accroché. J'ai beaucoup aimé le mélange entre les combats façon JRPG et la gestion de la ferme, ça change et ça fonctionne vraiment bien. Les personnages sont attachants, chacun a sa propre personnalité, ce qui donne envie de les découvrir. La gestion des villages devient un peu répétitive sur la fin, mais ça ne m'a pas empêché d'apprécier l'aventure. Une très bonne découverte pour une première expérience avec la série !
当初完全是冲着女主的脸来的,开局还纠结了半天选男主还是女主,毕竟选男主才能攻略女主,但最后实在不想长时间操作男角色,还是选了辉夜。其他女角色也都很萌,不过感觉对话的丰富度比前作少了一些,还是希望制作组以后能多加点。生小孩能根据父母有发色和瞳色差异这一点做得很好,希望能继续保持。建模质感一如既往地一般,属于日厂通病了,倒也能接受。唯一觉得遗憾的是对话框里没有立绘了,个人还是更希望能保留立绘。
