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 2,515 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!

Completely surpassing RF5, a great game with a good combat system, although it has its flaws, i know it's a spinoff where the important thing is the development of towns, but i didn't like that the farm was so diminished.
Good, characters are actually adults this time thank god
This is my new favorite entry in the Rune Factory series. It has everything I love in a Rune Factory game and more. I love the story as far as I've played it, I'm 100+ hours in and still haven't beat the main story. I'll update my review when I finish. I bought the game day one when it came out and have loved the updates they've made to the game, some very much needed like the expansion added in the Summer Village. For the amount of content to burn through in this game I'd say it's worth full price but if you can get it on sale definitely snatch this one up. I've been waiting for them to cover this area in the Rune Factory series since it was first mentioned. Big fan of the eastern themes. The ability to place decorations and buildings and assign villager or take away jobs from those villagers (Stop harvesting my crops and selling them you hooligans!) has been a really nice and time consuming addition. I saw some people complain about the bonding episodes not being lengthy enough and I don't feel that way at all yet. You see so much about the characters through the main story, festivals, party dialogues, bonding, etc I'm not sure what more people could want except for their waifu/husbando to come to life. I've seen some people complain about two of the romance options locked behind a paid dlc and although that probably should have been included I personally havent been super interested in those two characters. I dislike Pilika and Cuilang reminds me of my platonic friend so it feels weird to date him XD There are sooo many other games that add so many more paid dlc garbage that I didn't mind this one ultimately. The free Sakuna and Story of Seasons dlc is a big plus :3 Keep making great games! I'd love to see more Rune Factory's like this one.

you can be lazy, flirt with men and woman and even cheat the seed system within the game while enjoying an open world where you fight monsters, find shines while being with a floating sheep dragon. 10/10
The exploration with monsters, and cooking is similar to breath of the wild for me. Cute game. Nice dragons.
Great calm game
Really a beautiful game. A bit different from the core Rune Factory games but in a relaxing way.
Really fun new game in the series that sucked me in. I enjoyed the building the villages aspect because it reminded me of the Dark Cloud games from PS2 and the fact that each was a different season to grow crops year round. Really fun take on the cozy farming sim meeting adventure game.
best game ever
I love this game. I had it on my SW2 but bought it to share with the family group since I want more people to be able to try it out. It might not be a typical RF game but as a spin-off it can still hold it's own very well. For people looking for a more action oriented game with a lighter, simplistic take on the farming/sim aspect, this might be for you.
