MonsterVine: "Rune Factory: Guardians of Azuma is the series’ best entry yet, combining deep farming, action RPG combat, and heartfelt storytelling into one robust package."
Aaron Wrote: "Guardians of Azuma is a fantastic addition to the Rune Factory series and while it does introduce different and new gameplay elements it has some which you may expect to which just do not exist, if you come into it hoping for more paragon levels of building your character then you may be disappointed."
Rune Factory: Guardians of Azuma free DLC adds Sakuna from Sakuna: Of Rice and Ruin as a villager and party member.
"Rune Factory: Guardians of Azuma manages to reinvent itself while still maintaining the bones that make the Rune Factory series feel like itself. It takes bold new strides in unexpected directions that thankfully pay off. Guardians of Azuma is a must-play for Rune Factory fans and would be well-enjoyed by newcomers to the series as well." - Jess Elizabeth Reed | NintendoLife
