Some games of the series require the protagonist to get married as part of the storyline.Īccording 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. Some of them can even be married if their relationship improves enough. 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. In addition to their open-ended gameplay, the games possess a linear storyline, which can be furthered by exploring dungeons and defeating certain monsters. The player can then spend money and material to buy a variety of upgrades for their house, weapons, and tools. In all other games, the player will not die while fighting in the caves or ruins.Ĭrops 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. 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. The town bathhouse restores both HP and RP. 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 player can attack with no RP by sacrificing HP. Rune Points get depleted as the player performs tasks at the farm or fights using a weapon or skills.
Like most Harvest Moon/Story of Seasons games, the player is given a limited amount of stamina, in the form of "Rune Points", or "RP". The game's combat is in the action role-playing game style. If a monster is tamed, it can help the player in battle, produce goods, or help to tend the crops. However, the Harvest Moon game mechanic of purchasing animals has been replaced by defeating and befriending monsters in dungeons. The player can grow crops, using upgradeable farm equipment. For every one real-world second, one in-game minute passes. The gameplay of the Rune Factory series is similar to that of Harvest Moon/Story of Seasons.
