Fun way to pass the time

Reviewed in the United States on January 20, 2016

Verified Purchase

I like this game. Walk around, talk to people. Unlock different quests. No blood or gore. No scary thriller psychological themed darkness. Just a fun game. Can fight monsters with crazy weapons like sparklers and swords twice the height of the character. Nothing 'dies' in this game. Monsters are sent back to a 'forest of beginnings.' You can tame / catch monsters to do work for you on islands for crops and item generation, harvesting, etc. The graphics are good. You don't get to control the camera angle like in, say, final fantasy XIII or other games. You just press L1 and it resets it for you and as you walk along, the camera moves a bit to keep up with you. But nothing like a game where you use the right analog to control the camera angle as you walk around, so definitely not that fluid for camera. You don't get to look around much at the views the characters talk about enjoying unless you want to point your character a certain way and press L1, then repeat.

If you lose or run out of stamina, you just wake up in your room (usually with a cold and lower stamina). But you can cure colds, low stamina, etc. with items quite easily.

Increasing crafting or forging levels is a bit repetitive. May end up selling a lot of gear you make just to get the level you want for a more powerful item.

Overall, it's a fun game.
I'm finding I don't like the shooters, the blood, the gore, the intense psychological thrillers, or the violence of a lot of modern games. Thankfully, games like Rune Factory exist. And I like it a lot.

Would not recommend this game

Reviewed in the United States on June 23, 2017

Would not recommend this game. If you want to play Rune Factory get one of the DS or 3DS versions. This one does not do it justice. Very strange farming mechanics, I had to google how you're supposed to do it because the game doesn't explain it well at all. It is totally different then in Rune Factory 1, 2, 3, and 4 which I have played. The characters themselves are fine but the whole game was just strange and I felt did not do justice to the franchise. Didn't enjoy wandering the ocean getting into monster battles to discover new areas. Just didn't have fun playing and exploring like I did in the other games. Talking to everyone in town everyday was okay and there is some fleshed out story within the town but I couldn't justify playing any longer grinding through the other aspects. I will be selling my copy back less than 10 hours played and simply checking the youtube videos for the character endings and plot points.

Major Improvements

Reviewed in the United States on November 9, 2011

Verified Purchase

Rune Factory: Tides of Destiny had major improvements over the previous Rune Factory games. There is more of a focus on action, choice, and rewards.

Skill levels are tracked for a wide variety of activities such as walking, jumping, greeting villagers, fighting with a sword, etc. You get a prompt and an RP bonus any time you rank up a skill level, which happens frequently due to the high number of activities being tracked. This makes you feel rewarded regardless of what activities you choose to do.

Time pressure (managed in Rune Factory games by both RP and the game clock) is greatly lessened by having more ways to mitigate the cost (get RP back as you advance) and by reducing the time it takes to do things (farming is done by pets, mechanic to allow you to quickly teleport to dungeons).

Improvements have been made to the combat system, making weapons feel more powerful and more unique by type.

Relationship building feels rewarding, even with villagers that aren't romantic interests. Part of this is due to the new request board. Villagers will only offer certain requests once you are a certain friendship level with them. Requests can give you good items and open up new content.

The one improvement I'd like to see in the future is having the friendship rank-up events evolve a bit more. If they were more like social links in Persona 3 or 4, that would be awesome. As it is, only a few of the villagers have compelling stories, with the mojaority being inane time-killers. Still, I think this is a fantastic title. Finally, the series has that blending of harvest moon and animal crossing, with action rpg combat, that I was wanting at the beginning.

Disappointing

Reviewed in the United States on September 9, 2018

Verified Purchase

I love Rune Factory games in general, but this one was a let down.

The bad: This game had a lot of tutorials for things that were completely obvious. There were no tutorials for many things that actually needed explanation. I ended up needing to consult google to figure out gameplay at some points. Also, in general, the plot was not compelling. I played through the entire game in the hopes that at some point it would get better, but it never did. Of the hours I spent playing, I was only excited about the game for a very small proportion of that time.

The good: There is a shrine that tells you what each villager likes to receive as gifts, which eliminates the need to guess until you get it right. Also, the game map shows where all of the characters are at any given time, so there is no need to guess if there's someone particular you're looking for.

In short, I wouldn't recommend this game.

I love all the rune factory games out there that I have played so far but this one I gave up on alil faster then normal. You tame monsters that live on a golem which helps you trevel around the map. I got bored of it fast. But it was good playing it at the start!

Held, Bauer und Ehemann - schwerer Job, gutes Spiel!

Reviewed in Germany on May 3, 2012

Dass die Harvest Moon Reihe gut ist, sollte inzwischen allgemein bekannt sein. Dass die Ablegerreihe Rune Factory noch besser ist ist zumindest meine Meinung.

Während sich Harvest Moon Spiele aufs Ernten, Züchten und Familie gründen beschränken, wird in Rune Factory auch gekämpft.
So dass sich drei große Spieleschwerpunkte ergeben:
- Soziales Leben (Freunde, später: Heirat und Kind)
- Kämpfe
- Bewirtschaftung von Ackerland

In "Tides of Destiny" findet man sich auf einer kleinen Insel inmitten einer Dorfgemeinschaft wieder. Man darf Nachbarinseln erkunden, dort Saatgut ausbringen und insgesamt 4 Tempel + diverse Monsterinseln von selbigen befreien. Das alles lässt nicht nur die Hauptstory fortschreiten, sondern man findet auch reichlich Materialien fürs heimische Handwerken. Eigene Waffen schmieden, Geschenke für Dorfbewohner basteln, Kochen, Möbel herstellen - kurz: Handwerken ist ein nicht unerheblicher Teil.

Zerstritten ist die Fangemeinde über den Landwirtschaftsteil. Während beim Vorgängertitel noch eine eigene Farm zum Leben gehörte, kann man nun nur noch auf 4 Inseln Farmer spielen und selbst dort übernehmen gezähmte Monster den größten Teil der Arbeit. Richtig gehört, es gibt Monster, bzw Tiere. Angefangen von der Milch gebenden Kuh oder dem Huhn bis hin zum exotischen Minotaurus oder kleinem Windgeist.

Habt ihr den Vorgänger auf der Wii gespielt? Falls ja freut euch bei der PS3 Version über eine wesentlich bessere Grafik und kaum noch Ladezeiten. Hier merkt man die technische Überlegenheit der Konsole. Steuerung, Grafik, Gameplay insgesamt sehr gelungen. Wie immer streckt das Spiel die Zeit etwas mit "grindartigen", sprich sich oft wiederholenden Dingen. Das ist aber verzeihlich, da man großer spielerische Freiheiten hat und mich vor allem die Gespräche mit den Dorfbewohnern nie gelangweilt haben.

Die größte Schwäche des Spieles für mich: Die Wahl, wen man am Ende heiraten möchte ist echt schwer! :)
Übrigens: Ab einem gewissen Punkt kann man wahlweise mit einem weiblichen Charakter weiterspielen. Eine von vielen kleinen Verbesserungen bzw. weiteren Optionen im Vergleich zum Vorgängertitel. Insbesondere der Sozialteil wurde sehr verbessert!

Überlegt ihr noch lieber die deutsche Version zu kaufen? Dann vergleicht die Preise! Die Synchronstimmen sind i.d.R. in jeder Version englisch, einzig deutsche Untertitel mit teils holprigen Übersetzungen habt ihr zu erwarten. Wenn ihr also gut englisch könnt, könnte die englischsprachige Version euch besser gefallen (übrigens laufen alle PS3 Titel auf allen PS3 Konsolen, es gibt keine Ländercodierungen).

Viel Spass und gute Ernte!

Das Spiel ist eine Mischung aus Atelier Iris und Harvest Moon.Es ist auch für Kinder geeignet,wenn sie englisch lesen und sprechen können.Es unterstützt PS Move.Es ist halt ein niedlichen japanisches Spiel mit Mangafiguren.Wer drauf steht,wird es lieben.Animehasser und Actionfans sollten jedoch die Finger davon lassen.

Very enjoyable game, with some new features that make it stand out from the other games in the franchise. A wonderful addition to the series.
