While a smattering of new story scenes are inserted throughout the game, the entire campaign has also been given an updated localisation with fewer errors and noticeably more natural dialogue that makes already charming characters even more memorable. While textures and environments manage to hold up well in the transition to a more powerful console, character models end up looking awkwardly dated in a way that goes against the otherwise polished aesthetic of the game. The jump from the Nintendo 3DS results in a much sharper image and higher resolution that lets you see every detail of the world so much more clearly. In fact, the Nintendo Switch edition of Rune Factory 4 lets you see the entire game in a new light. You won’t get to experience these until you’ve basically reached the end of your time with the main story, but it’s a great way to see your favorite characters in a new light. This updated Nintendo Switch version of the game packs in a huge collection of bonus stories via the brand-new Newlywed Mode, which lets you unlock playable epilogue chapters tied to each of the possible romance options in the game. Balancing your love life with your farm life is a tricky challenge, but the variety of lovable and memorable characters in the game means that there’s guaranteed to be someone here who you’ll want to make that time for. One character might fall for you if you give her a bunch of fresh fruit, while another will swoon for you if you take her out to go pummel monsters together. There are six lucky bachelors and six equally lucky bachelorettes in-game who you develop bonds with as you continuously talk to them, give them gifts and participate in activities with them. You’re rarely told what to do or where to go next, and while that freedom isn’t an issue once you get your own schedule and personal priorities figured out, that lack of guidance can make the first few hours confusing and sometimes stressful.Īnother big pillar of Rune Factory 4 is relationship building. Unfortunately, the game has a loose and unguided structure that is at odds with the overwhelming amount of content on offer. There’s an astounding amount of stuff to dedicate your time to in Rune Factory 4, and with only so many minutes in each in-game day, balancing your schedule out to fit everything in creates a ruthlessly addicting gameplay loop that can easily get you playing the game until 2AM, despite having told yourself “just one more day” about a dozen times. The variety of weapon classes and special skills available to you make it even more enticing to dive just as deep into becoming a dungeon master as you will cultivating the perfect garden.

You’ll often need to explore outside the town to fight baddies and bosses in order to get new materials, and the fast paced slash-and-dash combat in these moments is utterly satisfying. That satisfying loop is made even sweeter by the strong focus on dungeons and combat in the game.
