What is Sakuna: Of Rice and Ruin?
This side-scrolling action game combines platforming and fights against demons with rice farming. As a harvest goddess banished to an island, you explore, fight with farm tools, gather materials, and tend rice from planting to harvest; each crop increases your combat strength. Your human companions make meals and equipment from what you collect.
For you if...
- +you enjoy growing one crop through detailed steps
- +you like chaining attacks in side-scrolling combat
- +you want a story inspired by Japanese mythology
Not for you if...
- −you prefer farming games without frequent battles
- −you want quick harvests rather than detailed crop care
