Modeled estimate, not a reported figure. How we estimate →
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 22 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 9 places towards #1, and the 2,513 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!

목장이야기보단 아틀리에 시리즈에 제작관련 컨텐츠 줄이고 농사컨텐츠 추가한 느낌의 게임 딱히 지루해지는 구간 없이 재밌게 마무리 메인 스토리는 너무 일본신화 쪽이라 뭔 소리인지 1도 모르겟고 연애 스토리가 그냥저냥 볼만함 동성혼 가능해서 여캐해도 상관없는게 좋은듯
對符文工廠的遊戲系統沒有太多意見, 畢竟本來這個game loop就是要玩家不停合成新的武器, 只是現在中間多了村子的發展任務而已。 主軸一直都是找個人結婚生孩子, 所以只要有好看的角色, 劇情通順, 基本就沒太多要求了wwwwww

Tried a couple of the Rune Factory games in the past and never got into them. This one got recommended to me so I gave it a shot as it looked a bit more modern. Honestly, in the beginning I did not think I would like it but pushed through. I just saved and quit and realized it was 1a, was thinking it was maybe 10p. This game is great. Very addicting, tons to do, does not feel fetch questy. The combat is simple but satisfying. Awesome semi-cozy game with lots of depth and a good cast of characters.
i use it as a farming sim essentially and chill hack/slash game. i think its pretty good and its just something to keep me occupied at some point in life. im sure ill finish the story at some point. wanted something similar on a budget (well when it was on sale at 30 USD) of ninja gaiden with a mix of micro managing and just doing random side things and this was it i guess (fyi - preferred older variants of ninja gaiden back in PS1/2 days)
more game less trouble
Disclaimer that I haven't played any other Rune Factory game and I've heard several fans of the series say it's not a super faithful entry. As an ex Genshin Impact player though, this game scratches the same itch. Loving all the mechanics, daily gameplay loop, the exploration and dialogue. I do think the plot is kinda ... convoluted? It's really not that important though. The heart of this game are its characters and I genuinely adore them all.
玩法很好玩很上头,总体上给个好评,有些地方做的也不够好,闪避不能打断攻击动作很难受;新装备刚做出来还没捂热,推一会主线又解锁了数值更高的装备可以制做了;主线竟然有个地方会卡关等等...
- Great Gameplay similar to Tales of Arise ( Combat ) but you don't control others. - Nice Story - Funny characters ** Cutscenes, World Map, some Item names in Quests are different than real names in bag and QoL need improvements + to much filler in Last Chapter. 7/10
BGMが残念 なんか手が付かない作品でした ルンファクトリー5みたいなのを 期待している方はおすすめしない
