Rune Factory 4 ROM Description

Are you tired of fast-paced action combat games? Why not try a fascinating role-playing game combined with a farming simulation like Rune Factory 4?

Rune Factory 4 is a farming simulation RPG developed by Neverland. The game was first released in North America on the 3DS on October 1, 2013. Rune Factory is not just a simple RPG. It has many different gameplay aspects such as farming, combat, crafting, and relationships. There’s even a command system where you act as a prince or princess to upgrade and influence the world around you.

Story

After a stunning anime intro, a short sword fight, and a bit of silliness, the game begins with you falling from the sky onto the back of a dragon named Ventuswell. She manages the town of Sofia and is initially a bit cold, but you’re allowed to shorten her name to Venti because you’re so cute.

The sword fight causes you to lose your memory. Venti thinks that because you lost your memory, you are the prince or princess they’ve been waiting for, but you’re not. It’s actually Arthur, and he declines and says he’s busy, leaving the spot to you. And now you bear the important responsibilities of the kingdom.

Farming Aspect

We’ve had a lot of farming simulation games like Harvest Moon, Story of Seasons, and Stardew Valley. Objectively speaking, some games may simulate better than Rune Factory 4, but frankly, no game does it more adorably than this one. Actions like using tools, throwing items, or running around become fun. It’s all presented on extremely bright and cute graphics.

Combat and Exploration

Another way to spend time in Rune Factory is exploring caves. There you will fight monsters. There are 8 main weapon types to choose from. They are all very interesting to use and often change depending on your stage of play. You can also use magic, which is very useful in and out of combat as there are both spells to attack enemies and spells to teleport home or greet neighbors.

You can also bring villager characters you befriend as allies in the dungeons. Speaking of friends, you can tame monsters and they do many things like working on the farm, helping with combat, transportation… In Rune Factory 4, your weapons are enchanted to only send monsters back to where they came from, so the game is still very cute.

Crafting System

Rune Factory 4 introduces a unique and in-depth crafting mechanism. One of the good points in the crafting aspect is that you don’t need a recipe to craft. What you need is to experiment with different ingredients to create something new. They are really interesting, but if you have a ready-made recipe, everything is even better. In addition to weapons, you can also craft armor, medicine, and cook.

Relationship Building

Rune Factory 4 is not just a game revolving around farming and combat, there are many different relationships that you can find during the game. Obviously a lot of love has been poured into this part of the game. There is a lot of focus on the lives of the NPCs and it adds a lot of depth. Even the Request Box used to assign quests has its own personality. Her name is Eliza, and she’s really cute.

The citizens of Sofia are all built with depth to the point that we really care about what happens to their lives. However, some people are more important than others. So let’s delve into the complex science and technology of the dating mechanism in Rune Factory 4 and maybe you can find your other half in this game.

Dating Mechanism

Rune Factory 4 makes the dating mechanism extremely cute. When you want to fall in love or simply find a new relationship, you can choose single “candidates” in the village. Each marriage candidate has their own introduction and confession scenes. The game has partial voice acting, just a few words here and there.

Conclusion

Rune Factory 4 is an absolute joy from start to finish. We bet you’ll be immersed for hours on end in this fun farming simulation combined with RPG. Although released 10 years ago, you can completely replay it for free on a 3DS emulator without needing the original system.
