The latest addition to the Rune Factory franchise has arrived with Rune Factory: Guardians of Azuma. For those unfamiliar with this series, it began as a spin-off to the classic Harvest Moon farming games, and since then, Rune Factory has stood on its own over the years. In the most recent release, it’s dungeon-crawling meets city-building. Players will be juggling numerous tasks while attempting to save the world of Azuma and revive its weakened gods. When you’re not battling corrupted beasts and monsters, you’ll be hard at work rebuilding villages through farming and renovation. The big question is whether these various mechanics can recapture longtime fans' love for the series and draw in a new audience.
The time has come for a new generation of samurai. Two decades after its release in 2002, Onimusha 2: Samurai's Destiny has escaped from being confined to the PlayStation 2 as an exclusive and can now be enjoyed across multiple platforms for modern players. Though it’s not a complete remake like Capcom’s other properties, the remaster retains what made the original so appealing and fun. Except now, new and returning fans have a chance to experience it. Just don’t expect it to be easy. Like the Devil May Cry series, when Capcom promises action and challenge, they always deliver.
