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 24 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 9 places towards #1, and the 2,404 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!

Honestly, the best Rune Factory game in the series for me (I have played 3-5 to completion). I loved the story, I laughed, I cried it really moved me! Usually I know right away who I want to romance and then speed run that relationship, but this time I had to seriously spend days agonizing about who to commit to because I just loved everyone and their stories and I still want to replay it to pick someone else eventually. The combat is super fun, party system is nicely streamlined. I love that you can boost your relationship not just with gifts but cute little activities to do. The city building was so fun and unstressful. I loved walking through the little towns I made. I do wish there were more decor like shrubs to make it feel less flat but still super good. This game made me fall back in love with Rune Factory all over again!

First Rune Factory game I've played and it was amazing.
I'm enjoying the game so much so far! It plays a bit different to mainline Rune Factory games. It gives a bit more Rune Factory: Tides of Destiny, in my opinion, especially with the simplified farming mechanics. As always though, the characters are charming and really are the life of the game. The graphics, story and world design are great, much MUCH better than Rune Factory 5 as well. And, while I'm not a super fan of the village management system, I do think it's a fun change of pace. I'm excited to keep playing!
This is a fun and fresh take on the RF series. managing multiple villages is an interesting, albiet sometimes tedious, aspect of the game, but it is somewhat optional so you can play at your pace to completion. Some of its systems are still rather shallow (combat isn't that indepth, and some of the village management is just plopping buildings down) but the overall experience itself is enjoyable enough to warrant a recommendation. I'm only 8 hours in as of writing, and will update once I play more.
This is a great sequel for the rune factory series, if they are going this direction im happy with it. overall its a great game it can be complex if you want that or not, just put it all on auto. the good the main story is definitly shorter than the other games but very good, the farming mechanics are very simplyfied and optional thanks to the villagers system. the combat is very good, i just miss the magic spells on the previous games. what i don't like is that you build the villages very well and very pretty but the main characters don't even set foot in those spaces. and those sky islands are very shallow and not worth exploring, im disapointed with a lot of the story chars mentioning the capital of azuma and we cant go or even view them from a distance.
graphics are amazing. it is heavier on combat, as Rune Factory games usually are, but you can farm as much or as little as you want. voice acting is great. combat is snappy. it's a treat to play :)
10/10 you can marry the antagonist... best game ever
Jogo muito bom! Gráficos lindos, jogabilidade boa e é bem relaxante.
ストーリークリアしたので セール中に買ったのが申し訳ないほど良かった 初め里の開拓面倒だなってなってたけど(RFやるなよってなるかも)一度軌道に乗り自由時間が出来た時自分はこのゲームの楽しさに触れたと思うキャラ一人ひとりすごく背景考えて作ったんだろうなって感じるほど全員キャラが立っててみんな好きになれた ストーリー中このキャラならこういう仕草言動するだろうなっていう納得感ある内容で 恋愛可能キャラの中でビビット来るのがいたら期待は裏切られないと思う 物語のノリは寒く感じるところは記憶に無くふふっと笑い所あるのもb(主にマツリちゃん関連) こういう3Dのゲームはモーションの流用が多いイメージだけどテーマに舞があるからか上で書いた通り各キャラに応じたモーションが本当に良く出来ていてそれも没入感高くなったところだと思う DLC買うし次作も来たら買います!
