In other similar games, there are more NPCs along with those you can marry, and that can limit the options of the player connecting to someone in town. Some may note it may seem slightly few compared to other games but the number of people in the town never bothers me if there are done well. Characters you meet are fully fleshed out and as you befriend them and see events you can gain what each one’s likes or dislikes are along with their personality. It is better than nothing to me, there is also an option to have the Japanese voices instead of the English. The game is somewhat voice acted as most vocalize actions with some phrases but the complete sentences are not done constantly. The game seems somewhat less pixilated than the 3DS version but this may be from the screen size.
I think this mostly divides up encounters and made it easier to run on the 3DS at the time. Many may fight each segment too short as you travel from area to area, its seamless with a fade to black style transition but can be annoying as it happens a lot. Most of the world’s music and designs are based on different seasons. Everything is bright and colorful with suiting music to different areas. In almost every way if you enjoy anime then you will enjoy the story, looks, and feel of Rune Factory 4’s fantasy world. It can be simple but fits perfectly with the world you experience. The story goes through a few arcs with some breaks in between but brings changes to the town. This is quickly corrected by the arrival of the actual prince that welcomely lets you be the prince here as he takes other duties in town. Your character has no memory from their past life in this accident and soon you are mistakingly taken for the prince that is meant to arrive and take over duties in the town’s development. During the end of your trip, you fall from your airship and onto the town’s guardian and a dragon god Ventuswill. Rune Factory 4 Special is about a boy or girl of your choosing that is traveling to the town of Selphia.
Rune factory 4 review series#
Rune Factory 4 got the re-release as it was the last major one on the Nintendo 3DS before the series fell silent. Working a farm, living in a town, experiencing the events and holidays, and adventuring out to fight monsters and experience a fantasy story all encompass all the Rune Factory games. The appeal of Rune Factory isn’t just with the Anime RPG look and feel but it also mixes the casualness of Harvest Moon to bring an enjoyable game. I am very excited about the upcoming Rune Factory 5 and its nice to play this title again on my switch. Rune Factory 4 originally released on the Nintendo 3DS back in 2012 and there hasn’t been a large release on the series since then. The Rune Factory series is a spin-off of the Harvest Moon series that I have enjoyed throughout its releases.
