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.
Too few observations to say whether a discount moves this store's chart at all: across the last 30 days Steam · Top Sellers · Poland has just 18 day-to-day chart moves that followed a price cut, against 2,498 that did not. We are publishing the count instead of a direction — 20 is the fewest we will draw a conclusion from, and price collection outside the United States began on 6 August 2026.
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!

Reviews
- 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
오랜만에 정가주고 구입한 게임. 아직까진 재밌음.

Liked it more than other Runes because of how action-driven the game was.
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...
I love this genre mix. Even though Guardians of Azuma still leaves much to be desired. This genre mix is so undersaturated, that I really wouldn't want to miss this game. Unfortunately even on its highest difficulty, the game is incredibly easy. Combat unfortunately is very lackluster - even with difficulty increasing mods installed - I hope they significantly improve the combat system in the next game. Sound design - especially in combat - is ... not great. The sounds I hear during combat are not satisfying at all. Instead they're rather disappointing. Adding further to combat being barely enjoyable at all.
한글화 떳습니다! 룬패토리 팬들에게 새로운 소식입니다! 갓겜 부활 했습니다!
First time trying Rune Factory game, just wasnt for me.
好玩,期待下一部续作
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.
