Inside Rune Factory: Guardians of Azuma
What it is
The classic action-RPG and life-simulation gameplay, beloved by Rune Factory fans across the globe, is taken in a bold new direction in Guardians of Azuma. This all-new adventure takes place in the never-before-seen eastern country of Azuma where you will assume the Earth Dancer powers and fight against the spreading Blight to bring hope back to this once-prosperous land.
The premise
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 duelling 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."
