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 2,420 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!

Esta bien, pero es flaquea mucho en muchas cosas. La historia es mid, los romances estan mal hechos y el sistema de granjas bastante mejorable. Intentan combinar todo pero al final queda un producto que no cumple en nada. El juego como tal lo disfrute pero si me pongo a analizarlo le faltan mejorar muchas cosas para considerarlo verdaderamente un buen videojuego. Al final me quede con sencaciones mixtas por lo que creo que no puedo recomendarlo.

This game is really fun, I played rune factory 4 some time ago and recently decided to play guardians of azuma. The farming is nice, sometimes I get annoyed at villagers replanting the wrong crops and messing up my aesthetically pleasing crop placement. I'm progressing the main story along with the more rpg aspects but it's good to take a break and work on developing your villages, also you get stat bonuses which can be significant from working on the villages so don't neglect them. The characters are fun, love their designs. Overall 9/10 for me, definitely some flaws but a nice way to relax for a bit.
Positiv: Typisches Rune Factory. Der Asia Stil ist auch schön gemacht und die Story umgesetzt. Das Gameplay fühlt sich auch gut an und das mit den Jahreszeiten auf den Inseln macht Spaß da man dann wirklich sich überall um ein Feld bemüht. Das auf dem Sommergebiet die Insel dazu kam war Super es gab immer Platzprobleme. Negativ: Der Patch der das Maximum der Herzen erweitert hat war etwas extrem. Ich weiß das ist damit man lange gebunden wird aber das war doch etwas zu viel des guten. Zudem ist der Support bei Problemen nicht gut. PS: Ich war im direkten Austauscht mit der Firma da ich viel Zeit in meinen Spielstand investiert habe und bis heute 7 Monate später haben Sie sich trotz versprechen die zurückgemeldet um den Fehler zu beheben. Ihr Patch hatte mir mein Spielstand nämlich zerstört. Auch Patches danach haben nichts gebracht. Die hatten mir Besserung zugesagt. Daher Negativ um hier mal jemanden zum Handeln zu zwingen. Schließlich habe ich 65h im Spiel verbracht und konnte wegen dem Bug nun Nie das Ende erreichen.
Как человек который наиграл около 40 часов в Rune Factory на свиче и который поиграл несколько часов в 5 часть могу сказать что Rune Factory Guardians of Azuma очень хорошая игра в целом, но как часть серии Rune Factory не очень, банально потому что в игре есть механики как в номерных частях, но вот глубин у этих механик как в номерных частях нету нету, банально взять например систему крафта, в номерных частях у игрока были рецепты по которым он крафтил еду, хилки, оружие и т.д но так же у игрока была свобода взять и намешать случайных предметов в один рецепт, и конечно чаще всего получался какой то калкалыч и ты зря тратил очки рун, но если что то получалось то было приятно знать что мол ты такой МЕГАМОЗГ и смог открыть сам рецепт. Но в конце концов игра супер хорошая, и прям не совру если скажу что я с большим удовольствием прошел сюжетную линию несмотря на то что она не такая уж и большая как хотелось бы. Цена скажу честно кусается, поэтому лучше брать её по скидке. Ну а я пойду закрывать игру на платину, спасибо что прочли и приятного вам времени суток.
As a big fan of the Rune Factory (RF) series, I think this is a great installment! Compared to other RF games, this one has less focus on the farming aspect and substitutes it with a village management system which I quite like. If you like decorating and small city-builder mechanics, it might be a welcome reprieve from other run-of-the-mill farm cozy games. Combat is also not too bad, but easy. And the story is pretty good! I like the overarching plot of saving Azuma and healing the land. I'm also impressed with the character models. I do miss the inclusion of 2D portraits but I'm more than happy with the look and animations in comparison to 5. The characters are just so charming and, as always, the voice cast is stunning. Definitely worth picking up whether you're new to the series or a returning fan! (preferably on sale so you can pick up the DLC with 2 extra marriage candidates).
好玩 好玩 好玩,比第五代好玩太多
minha primeira experiencia coma franquia, sendo direto me divertir bastante, não senti dificuldade nas batalhas e na questão social do jogo achei bem interessante, não pretendo consumir os jogos anteriores mas com certeza vou da uma chance para os futuros lançamentos.
This game is very enjoyable, i cant wait for rune factory 6. if youve never played a rune factory game this one is most likely very different than what youre expecting it was for me atleast.
I am very disappointed in this game. I am a long time Rune Factory fan. This isn't like any Rune Factory game I've played. It has a lot of interesting concepts. The combat is cool conceptually, but is really clunky and poorly done. The game forces Ubisoft-style tutorials down your throat. Like, dude let me play the game. I load into the game and the game assumes I care about all these characters and this town. There is no foreshadowing just shoving the story down my throat. I just want to play the game!!! God! The farming is completely optional in this gaming. Which essentially turns RF: Guardians of Azuma into a dungeon crawler, and I am sorry I can play much better dungeon crawlers. I do like the idea that you can manage your villagers to do certain things. I am glad they tried something different, but it just seems like the amalgamation of good but half baked concepts with an extremely overbearing story.
