Random Game

Today I'll be talking about Rune Factory Frontier on the Wii by Marvelous Entertainment.

Rune Factory is a Farming Simulation RPG hybrid and is a spin-off of the Harvest Moon series. Rune Factory Frontier takes place in a town called Trampoli a pretty normal town...that is until you notice the giant whale swimming in the sky. The story is unique but kind of loses steam as the story progresses and the RPG aspects are fun but really grindy especially at the end of the game. But the farming and dating aspects are pretty fun throughout though meeting the conditions to have the people join the village are very vague and I was forced to use a wiki to meet everyone, which is not the way you want to do things, especially when meeting certain people open up new game mechanics that are essential to the farming like the Runey's. The Runey's are probably the hardest part about the game learning about them and managing them are essential to farming, but the problem for me was it was hard to find the time to go wandering around and start the events that introduce the characters, this is in pretty much EVERY Harvest Moon and Rune Factory, while this is a complaint I had with the game its not really a big deal it just makes the beginning a bit more confusing then it should be especially for beginners.

I personally give the game a 7.5 to 8 its a very good game and I like the farming and the dating aspects, the beginning could be a bit more streamlined and unless you like grinding the endgame and especially the bosses are brutal. I recommend this game to anyone who likes the Harvest Moon series or enjoyed the dating simulation from the Persona series. I've told you one of my tales so come back for more Tales of Gaming!
