It is described by Yoshifumi Hashimoto, producer of the Harvest Moon/Story of Season series, as 'Harvest Moon where you wield a sword.'[1]

Common gameplay elements[edit]

Download Rune Factory- Frontier ROM for Nintendo Wii(Wii ISOs) and Play Rune Factory- Frontier Video Game on your PC, Mac, Android or iOS device! Rune Factory 2 and Rune Factory Frontier are the same in this respect, except for one additional aid in Rune Factory 2. There is a Magnifying Glass in RF2 that allows you to scrutinise any square. Rune Factory Frontier for the Wii, is a wonderful game especially if you are already a fan of the Run Factory series. This one continues with the character and game play we've all come to know. Rune Factory is a popular spin-off to the Harvest Moon series, combining the life simulation elements of the HM franchise with monsters and swords the Rune Factory franchise has captivated a wide range of gamers. The Rune Factory franchise has over half a dozen offerings with the majority Nintendo being Nintendo platform exclusives. If you hit the tree with a special attack on your hammer you'll get higher level apples.:) In addition to what holyplanktonv2 said, you can also buy them at Erik's shop during winter in case you need more since the trees only give you a certain amount max.

The gameplay of the Rune Factory series is similar to that of Harvest Moon/Story of Season. For every one real-world second, one in-game minute passes. The player can grow crops, using upgradeable farm equipment. However, the Harvest Moon game mechanic of purchasing animals has been replaced by defeating and befriending monsters in dungeons. If a monster is tamed, it can help the player in battle, produce goods, or help to tend the crops. The game's combat is in the action role-playing game style.

Like most Harvest Moon/Story of Season games, the player is given a limited amount of stamina, in the form of 'Rune Points', or 'RP'. Rune Points get depleted as the player performs tasks at the farm or fights using a weapon or skills. The player is given hit points as well. The player can attack with no RP by sacrificing HP. The player can replenish RP by using Runes created by fully-grown crops or potions, while HP can be restored using medicine or healing abilities. The town bathhouse restores both HP and RP. If the player runs out of HP while working on their farm, they will collapse and be rescued; however, in Rune Factory and Rune Factory 2, dying outside the town causes game over. In all other games, the player will not die while fighting in the caves or ruins.

Crops can be planted in different areas to sell for gold; other activities include mining for metal and minerals, fishing, or collecting food such as milk and eggs from befriended monsters. The player can then spend money and material to buy a variety of upgrades for their house, weapons, and tools.

In addition to their open-ended gameplay, the games possess a linear storyline, which can be furthered by exploring dungeons and defeating certain monsters. Just like in the Harvest Moon series, the main character's relationship with the other villagers increase by talking to them or performing actions that please them, like giving items they like as presents for example. Some of them can even be married if their relationship improves enough. Some games of the series require the protagonist to get married as part of the storyline.

Development[edit]

According to Marvelous' managing director and Harvest Moon's creator, Yasuhiro Wada, Rune Factory 2 does not borrow the Harvest Moon(Bokujō Monogatari) name for the Japanese release. This was done in order to grow Rune Factory as an independent series and Marvelous will continue to do this with all future installments including Rune Factory Frontier.[8] Despite this, Natsume applied the subtitle A Fantasy Harvest Moon to Rune Factory 2 and Rune Factory 3.[9][10]

Rune Factory Frontier was announced during an interview between Cubed3 and Yasuhiro Wada on June 6, 2007, and was fully revealed on June 4, 2008 in the Japanese video game magazine Famitsu. On July 11, 2008, Marvelous Entertainment USA and Xseed Games announced that they were both bringing Rune Factory Frontier to North America.[11]Rune Factory Frontier released in the NA region on March 17, 2009.

Rune Factory 5 was said to be expected at 'some point in time', according to series producer Yoshifumi Hashimoto.[12] In November 2013, Neverland Co. filed for bankruptcy, leaving the future of the series in question at the time.[13] However, in February 2014 it was revealed that the Rune Factory development team had been hired by Marvelous AQL, and that they were developing the Nintendo 3DS simulation role-playing video game Lord of Magna: Maiden Heaven. In February 2019, during the 13.02.19 Nintendo Direct, Rune Factory 5 was once again confirmed to be in development by Hakama, a new studio founded by Hashimoto.[14] In September 2020, during a Nintendo Direct Mini presentation the game's release date was slated for Spring 2021 in Japan and later in the same year worldwide[7]. Another trailer was released in a Japanese-exclusive Nintendo Direct mini in October, revealing a limited edition 'Premium Box' and an expected release date of May 20, 2021 in Japan[15].

Media[edit]

Rune Factory 2 has had multiple manga series to help promote the game, in such magazines as Dengeki Nintendo DS, Monthly Wings, Dragon Age, and Dengeki Maoh. If players pre-ordered the game in Japan, they would receive a free CD with three mini-dramas as well as an 18-page art book. Sometime after the release of the game in Japan, a CD with all the background music, three mini-dramas, and the two theme songs was released with a novel based on the game following sometime after. The American pre-order bonus was a plush Chipp, a monster in the series similar in appearance to a squirrel, that was included in the box when ordered from participating websites.[9][16]

r6337Windows 7AMD Phenom II X6 @ 3.61GHzATI Radeon HD 5850Plays flawlessly. Rune Factory Frontier (12:3) Ratio Eyefinity 'Wiifinity'finalfantasy4567
3.0Windows 7AMD Phenom II X4 @ 3GHzATI Radeon HD 4870Basically flawless. The framerate drops to as low as 22-25FPS in some areas of Lava Ruins and when there are a lot of crops in your field, but otherwise runs at a solid 30FPS. I completed the game and experienced no issues other than a couple of instances of glitched sound which were remedied by resetting the game. Direct3D9 does not cause any blurriness for me, but enabling 9xSSAA causes lighting glitches (no problem with 4x).
r7719Windows VistaAMD Phenom II X4 840 @ 3.2GHzATI Radeon HD 5700Very playable! 25-30FPS, 100% Speed. Game slows within Lava Ruins to 60-70% speed. Screen transition 0-18FPS, 30-50% speed. Game crashes upon screen transition very rarely, but possible. Sound reduced to static after about an hour of gameplay. A restart of the game will restore sound. Graphics besides indoor areas appear blurred only with DirectX9. (cannot confirm if this is how the game normally is, I don't remember the game being this blurry on my TV) Game running with DirectX 11.Sealion
r7719Windows 7Intel Pentium P6200 @ 2.13GHzAMD Radeon HD 6470MThe game is playable. The game FPS will start to reduce if too much background activities. The FPS will also reduced if there are many sprites within the game map, i.e the Runeys. other than that, the issues are common.LunaeMaster
3.0-589Windows 7Intel Core 2 Duo E8400 @3GHzNVIDIA GeForce GTX 560Almost perfect. Speed is always between 80 and 100%, FPS stays on an acceptable level, too. Only flaw is random occurring sound issues which won't stop until the game is reloaded.Alu
3.0-710Windows 7AMD Athlon II X2 @ 3.30GHzATI Radeon HD 5570Good playable. In Direct3D9 or Direct3D11 no blur in outdoor area. Mostly 28-35FPS, speed is 80-100%. FPS not falls when using 16x anisotropic filtration, but fall when using the 4x Native Resolution. Audio mostly normal.Rikudo
3.0-752Windows 7Intel Core i5-2500K @ 4GHzAMD Radeon HD 6950Great. DX9(Only DX9 for testing , no idea why i didn't switch it back to DX11) 1080p, 4x Native, no AA, 4x AF. Solid 30FPS all the time. Auido is perfect at DSP HLE. client crashes randomly from 5min to 1 hour, tested all kinds of settings and then switched to, not a single crash in hours.Light
3.5Windows 7Intel Core i7-2670QMNVIDIA GeForce GTX 560MPlays well, slight slowdown in bottom section of the main farm's field and in the 2nd dungeon. Occasionally, under Dx9, after a cutscene the frame rate outdoors will cut (from 60FPS to 45FPS) until computer is restarted. Bluriness with Dx9 noted but not enough to warrant concern or render the game unplayable.turtlbrdr
5.0Windows 7Intel Xeon E3 1230v2AMD HD 6750Smooth and stable. Use OpenGL Render/HLE sound and PAL60. Played 70 hours, tested most game area and never crash! Need disable wii controller speaker to make controller less lagging.BloodyHamster
5.0-3951Windows 10Intel Core m3-7Y30Intel HD Graphics 615Amazing and impressive on ultra low powered PC. Use OpenGL Render. With stock TDP (4.5 W) and Turbo Boost, the game can run at 1.5x IR, no AA, 2x AF at full speed. Unlocking TDP to 12 W, it can reach 100% speed at 2x IR, no AA, 8x AF or 1.5x IR, 2x MSAA, 4x AF(Considering passive cooling, I chose demanding scenes to test for about 1 min.). From 3774 to 3951, played it for dozens of hours, random crashes haven't occurred though.
