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!

[PROS] NOT A FARMING GAME : feeling like it IS NOT FARMING game ...! I considered it to be a farming game just before I practically playin it .... it seem to be a human-management game... rather than farming as it described with hash-tag [CONS] - UI and graphic is highly polished - user-friendly and very kind utility - map system

Feels bad to write a negative review as someone who's been around since RF1, but man asking for ultra FSR to get a decent character model on screen (not that the screen even fits properly on PC) is just too much, it's virtually a step away from getting AI to render the whole game. Even just walking doesn't have a smooth stopping animation and it's just jank all around, honestly it might even be worse 3D than RF5. If RF6 is on this level, I'd have to give up on the series, no matter the online hype you can't hide garbage from me.
革新作品但是一刀割到了大动脉 养成战斗相辅相成基本没了 科技树一眼望去都是力加一敏加一这种堆数值 第一年春天就能点完 剧情也是白开水 建议折后购买
그래픽은 좀 후달리는데 카구야가 이쁘고 마을건설도 은근 재밌고 전투도 안복잡하고 캐주얼하게 할만함
I honestly didn’t want to write this review, but here we go... Rune Factory: Guardians of Azuma was marketed as an evolution of its predecessor, and in many ways, it succeeds. It delivers improved graphics and a more robust combat system. However, it also continues the same trend as the previous title: moving further away from what made Rune Factory special as a farming sim. I really don’t like the direction this series has been taking. I’ve loved these games since the Nintendo DS era, and I still hope we get a title that captures the spirit of the earlier entries—where the experience felt much closer to Stardew Valley, with combat playing a secondary role and the main focus being farming and building relationships with the NPCs. That said, this is still a good game, but it feels overly saturated and, at times, not particularly fun to play.
This game is good but its lack of customization of other people clothing in game you only get two from 2 different DLC but there should be clothing store where you can buy clothes without DLC in previous games you could do it with married partner it has every store except the clothing store
Primeiro jogo da franquia que estou jogando e estou amando. 10/10
오랫만에 하루에 10시간 넘을정도로 재미있게 플레이한 게임인데 추천하기에는 조금 애매한 게임.
This is a great spin-off. It's not as farming heavy, and I did not personally enjoy the city-building aspect. Monster taming is also very inconsequential - you only need them for their drops. But the exploration and relationship system are great variations to previous titles. And its pretty! Much prettier 3D visual than RF5
