  • Abstract:  When Rune Factory 5 landed on Nintendo Switch a few months back, our reviewer Elliot Hilderbrand was excited to take a look at it for review. And though he enjoyed many of the game's mechanics, he ultimately gave the Switch version of Rune Factory 5 a sco...

  • Abstract:  If you are familiar with the Rune Factory series, all of the core concepts are here. You wake up with amnesia near the small hamlet of Rigbarth and begin to help the townspeople. Odds and ends things at first; deliver this, plant that, rescue a half wolf/...

  • Despite the graphics and performance issues, I still had immense enjoyment from playing Rune Factory 5. It's fun, it's charming and it's addictive. While it's not perfect by any means, this is a worthy entry in the franchise and is well worth the decade-l...

  • Abstract:  Last month, I posted a preview of Rune Factory 5 detailing its first two hours and the opening dungeon. Mostly, I complained about how that just isn't enough time to really get a feel for how a game of this nature is going to be. This is a franchise where...

  • Rune Factory 5 delivers everything you would expect from a Rune Factory game, though it does so without adding anything new. It moves from a rather rough start into an enjoyable experience which combines quirky characters, a story wrapped in a bit of myst...

  • Rune Factory 5 has much of the mechanical depth that made its predecessor so enjoyable, but none of the improvements one would expect from a leap to a new, more powerful platform. Its farming, crafting, combat, and relationship systems remain varied and n...

  • In the sleepy border town of Rigbarth, mysterious events are unfolding, affecting the runes that govern the balance between humanity and nature, More than enough content, Expansive map to sink teeth into, Art style is charming and cute
  • Input delay really dampens combat, Graphics make the map look bland, Doesn't really move smoothly on Switch, Nothing stands out or feels different to RF4 from 2012, This game was reviewed on Nintendo Switch
