When playing this game you really get the feeling that with just a little more attention to detail it really good gone from being good to really great. They fixed the balance problem with mining in the first game by this time I already had all the money I would need for the whole game. Several dungeons open from the beginning: You're free to explore several areas from the beginning instead of having to earn passes from the mayor.Which is nice, although they're pretty small.Įverything else is roughly the same just more refined. Generational playing: As I hear you can play the next generation.

But giving it a try I was pleasantly surprised. Being a huge fan of the Harvest Moon game series when I heard about the original Rune Factory I was intrigued/worried with the Harvest Moon + Action RGP equation.
