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 26 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 7 places towards #1, and the 2,400 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!

7/10 - Don't buy the DLCs, they're not worth it. Combine the charm of Rune Factory and other life sims in the genre with the action-adventure-RPG combat made commonplace by the Zelda series, and you have Guardians of Azuma. A generally charming experience that doesn't win anything in terms of story or soundtrack, but the village management sim elements will have you locked in for hours. A good game to wind down on after a long day at work.

this just doesn't feel like a rune factory game. there's too much automation, no farming in dungeons, and i feel like i barely get to know any of the characters. they strayed too far from the formula, and didn't really add anything particularly interesting.
7.5/10 for me. Its a nice farming game with a variety of tools to use for both combat and farming. Decent storage and large world and tons of little islands to explore. I won't recommend it at full price though. The biggest downside is how terrible the AI villagers are, they're suppose to help you deal with some of the chores like farming, resources generation and income, but they are hopeless when it comes to farming, you alone can do a better job at all your fields in all villages better than even if you make all of them farmers. Yes, they are that slow when it comes to harvesting and watering, and they love to plant random seeds too.
그냥...마벨러스 다른 게임들처럼 되게 단순합니다. 마벨러스 게임은 이젠 믿고 걸러도 되지 않을까 하는 수준. 농사, 마을 만들기, 전투, 탐험, 전부 재미 없어요. 그냥 얼른 스토리만 깨버리자 싶었는데 스토리도 재미가 없습니다. 레벨 디자인도 고대 게임. 모든 컨텐츠에 깊이가 없어요. 그렇다고 캐릭터가 매력적인가 하면 그것도 잘 모르겠고...흠...정가에 사면...그냥 세일 할 때에 사시고 정가에 샀을 돈으로 저 우동 한그릇만 사주십시오. 그냥 전혀 마벨러스하지 않아요.
Great game. Got me theese week more addicted than Fantasy Life. You can have an great adventure and fighting monsters and grinding materials for better weapon and stuff. You can build part of your villages with your own made buildings or decorations and made up fields like in Harvest Moon and harvesting vegetables or fruits. The story is also great and later you can date other characters and even get marry them when you found a favourite. A bit sad that you cant build the whole village, only some parts and the buildings and decorations are limited but its fine, but would be awesome if you have to build up the whole village. Also the characters ingame are made great and cute and each "marriable" character has their own unique story which is not boring. If you would ask me, I recommend you this game and for me its an 10/10 and got my vote fot the game of the year steam awards and it has to fight against Kingdom Come Deliverance II or Fantasy Life i: The girl who steals time.
rpg要素远大于种田,不适合作为种田游戏入手,内容很少,大概也就一年到一年半的剧情量,剩下的时间就是和只会复读的NPC活在永远不会变化的世界里了。 六神作为结婚候补很有魅力,其他的凡人候补对村子的联系都不是很强,如果不结婚的话明天就离开也不奇怪,感觉不太好。 每个候补都做一个结婚成就纯属脑瘫设计,作为异性恋还得看着自己和男人走入婚姻殿堂吗,真是帮我治疗了全成就强迫症
为什么原神鸣潮的出现还没有把粗制滥造的粉丝向jrpg完全扫进历史的垃圾桶?给我卷起来啊
I haven't been this engrossed in a farming/life sim in ages. All the characters are voiced and the socialization aspect is superb, with unique storylines for each romanceable NPC. I set the difficulty to story mode and it made combat refreshingly easy (which is how I prefer it). 84 hours in and I still haven't completed the main storyline or met all the romanceables. Terrific value for money.
