Find out the pros and cons of Rune Factory 3. Is the game too repetitive or does farming crops, fishing and battling monsters in dungeons manage to hold our attention?
Given that it is a spin-off of Harvest Moon, it isn’t surprising that romance is a part of Rune Factory. But what may catch someone off guard is how much the games offer. These titles offer lots of people they can spend time with, some of them showing how many different kinds of species live in this fantasy world. They are people who are capable at performing certain jobs and surviving against monsters. Their storylines also can be quite engaging and fun. Essentially, they can go above and beyond.
It’s the combat element of Rune Factory 3: A Fantasy Harvest Moon that has seen the biggest renovation, pushing the boundaries of the series far beyond the simple family-fun farming simulation it once was. Featuring real-time action, the player will progress through a level system that unlocks new abilities and combos, and allows them to create and wield new, more powerful weapons. What’s more, once having progressed past the basics the player will earn the ability to transform into a monster, offering a number of additional bonuses and significantly altering the style of play.
