Harvest Moon has become a notable hit in the West - Stardew Valley appeared largely thanks to this series. But not only it. The fantasy spin-off, Rune Factory: Guardians of Azuma, has also gained an audience and continues to evolve.
On June 5, 2025, the game was released and received positive feedback from both the press and players. Many call it one of the best installments in the Rune Factory series, familiar to Nintendo DS owners. Now the project is available on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S.
Is it worth playing? An average score of 81% on Metacritic and 88% positive reviews on Steam speak for themselves. Players note that the project is not perfect, but it is engaging and well-developed in terms of content, combat system, and visual design.
