it's a hidden gem! If you like harvest moon, rune factory, Stardew Valley, etc. You'll probably like this game. Main strength: combat, farming, story Combat is depth: jump, light/heavy attack, skill button, extend your cloth to grab button. pressing directional button will change the behavior of every fighting action. - You can combo similar to fighting games (street fighter, guilty gear...) by cancel the delay. Example: forward button + light attack = dash attack. After dash attack there will be a delay before you can perform a series of light attacks. However, if you press up + light attack, the delay will be ignore and you can do combo airborne. Have fun figure out how to get the best combo with both attacks and skills :) - There is a bunch of skills which can be assigned into 8 slots, and you can perform them by pressing skill/cloth grab button + directional buttons. - Good amount of enemies (included bosses) variation with distinctive behavior. Bosses can make you feel like dark souls. Farming is real life rice farming simulation: sort and sow, tilling, adjust water level, temperature, different kind of fertilizer depend on stage of rice, how to handle pest and disease, harvest, dry, threshing, hulling, etc. At the end of each year, the Yield, Taste, Hardness, Aroma, Aesthetic, Stickiness of your rice will directly improve your HP, strength, vitality, magic, luck and gusto. You don't level up by killing monster, you raise your stats by raising your rice the best way you can. Story: characters are interesting and likeable, much more lively and real than those npc/love interests in Harvest Moon/Stardew/rune factory. Discover their backstory and watch their character develops is enjoyable. And other stuffs: sending out your "human" to gather, upgrading cloth and weapon, farming skills, cooking, etc.

While first impressions might suggest Sakuna: Of Rice and Ruin is a side-scrolling action platformer, what it actually is is an in-depth rice-farming simulator that includes a free side-scrolling action platformer - adventuring out into the wilderness to hunt demons is just a part of a gameplay loop that revolves around the cultivation of rice, from seeds to sprouts to fields of grain ripe for the harvest, and I never knew how much I wanted that until I got it!

I really enjoyed this game.... it takes you by surprise... but the amount of work put into the rice field farming system is amazing.... to the point that it really goes overboard, it takes years (in game i mean) to actually start to understand what you are doing. Not that you need to do a perfect job or anything.... but if you get obsessed about aiming for near perfect results... this thing will drive you mad, xd Gameplay is engaging and fun, while still leaving ways to customize your gameplay and try different things. I had a great time with it, sometimes it maybe become a little tiring..... growing the fields seriously can take a lot of your energy But still a great and pretty unique game

A Deeply Dense and Incredibly Niche Blend of Farming Sim + Side-Scrolling Action It’s been out for quite a while now, and as many reviewers have already pointed out, this is a true rice-farming fanatic’s game. But after playing it myself, what really stood out is how well designed it is in terms of progression—you don’t need to study Japan’s Ministry of Agriculture–level rice cultivation techniques just to keep from hitting a wall. That’s a huge strength. Back when the game first blew up, people were saying things like “you’ll have to manage everything from your meal plan down to the nutrient breakdown of your own waste to control fertilizer.” I want to stress again: the game balance isn’t like that. Even in extreme cases—bad harvests, constant pest infestations—you can still push through if you’re persistent. You don’t need to be a hardcore rice-farming otaku to beat it. In fact, this is exactly the kind of game I’d recommend to players who hesitated because they were intimidated by how “rice-obsessed” it looked. For the detail-oriented, the systems go deep enough to let you lose yourself completely. But even if you just want to enjoy it casually, the design never forces you to study outside the game. That’s what makes the game design so strong: it supports both hardcore and casual play without breaking. The action segments might worry some players in terms of difficulty, but honestly, if you just keep farming rice, you can power up the protagonist into a super-gorilla brute who can muscle through most challenges. Hardcore action fans might see this as a downside, but personally, I think the balance feels just right.

This game is a hidden gem of a diamond for sure. It features two sides, there is the RPG scroller side to the game and then the rice farming/base life side. Both are great and merge together rather well. The story features you play as Sakuna, who is the harvest god, she has lived a life of luxury because her parents efforts who have been missing since she was young. Due to a incident which resulted in humans gaining access to the rice storage room and setting fire to it (accident) Sakuna is banished from the realm to a island full of demons, a island her parents once farmed the rice she is so proud of. Here you experience the story of Sakuna finding what is causing the rise in demons as well as investigate parts of her parents old life here. RPG: The rpg is a platformer/side scroller rpg, you use your reignment to climb cliffs and scale ledges. You also can have several skills which operate in tandem with this meaning you can find skills you like and take advantage of certain situations. The fighting is fun, It can take some learning at some points but its mostly pretty fun, You also have a day/night cycle, during the day enemies are normal hp and balanced, during the night hours, monsters get more aggressive and are stronger, you also have a hunger which whilst it wont kill you, it benefits to eat meals (which offer buffs) to take on challenges. Rice farming: Before you head out to slay demons the game has a unique mechanic. Whilst farming isn't new to some rpg's, this is focused to one crop, RICE! The farming is very detailed, you control literally everything, weeding, water levels, water temperature, plowing etc and this includes harvesting, drying the rice, airing it and everything else. You rice can get blights or be harmed by insects and you even have a fertilise system to help fight blights, insects, recruit decks to eat them etc. Its very detailed. At the end of the harvest your rice is graded, then a unique mechanic kicks in, because you are the harvest god, your rice harvest directly gives you stats. You don't level up for stats so much in this, your harvest will reward them, so each year you will get stronger depending on your village efforts. This is pretty interesting and unique and blends the rpg side together well. You harvest materials by killing demons to fertilise the rice to buff your stats. You can also make brown rice which doesn't offer much stat bonus but can offer brown rice as a ingredient too. The game is a perfect blend of mixing farming and combat, there is a small element to the house its self, you can chat to companions, recruit them as gatherers to gain unique materials, there are some sub-quests and you can craft new armour and clothes too. The story is actually very good too, i honestly really enjoyed the ending and leading scenes to it. If you enjoy RPG's with a bit of farming, i recommend this whole-heartedly, its great fun and feels like they found a very unique formula. couldn't praise this game enough.
