Guardians of Azuma simplifies some of the farming aspects from previous Rune Factory games. This actually makes the series feel more accessible to new comers to the series. It’s a fantastic entry point for those who want to dive in for the first time. Guardians of Azuma welcomes newcomers without the need to go back to previous entries in the series. Those who have played others may recognize certain game mechanics, characters, and even tropes of the games but will find much to enjoy.

Enjoy bonding with your companions, getting to know the villagers, and recruiting NPCs to manage the farm. There may be many memories to relive within the game for those who previously purchased it on PC or Switch.

For physical game collectors, Guardians of Azuma PlayStation 5 edition is now available for pre-order on Amazon for US purchasers. Digital Editions will also come in a variety of different ways.
