VGChartz’s Evan Norris: “Some visual inadequacies aren’t enough to tarnish the overall package in Guardians of Azuma, which ranks among the best Rune Factory games. By retaining the core components of the franchise — farming, fighting, and flirting — and infusing them with addictive town planning and people management aspects, deeper tactical and strategic combat options, and more meaningful romance pathways, Marvelous has pushed the franchise forward in a bold new direction. It will be exciting to see where Rune Factory 6 takes it from here.”
