Having been one heck of a game, the original Rune Factory delivered an experience that provided something unique that hasn't been seen since the first Harvest Moon titles. Now already complete in Japan and localization already under way, Rune Factory 2 is on its way to American soil for a combination of dungeon crawling, role-playing, and farming.
Mixing a variety of gameplay types, Rune Factory 2 starts off with taking away the memory of the main character and having him wake up in a peculiar town. Meeting up with a young girl named Mana, the adventure begins with a lot of inspiration from previous Harvest Moon titles.
Given that it is a spin-off of Harvest Moon, it isn’t surprising that romance is a part of Rune Factory. But what may catch someone off guard is how much the games offer. These titles offer lots of people they can spend time with, some of them showing how many different kinds of species live in this fantasy world. They are people who are capable at performing certain jobs and surviving against monsters. Their storylines also can be quite engaging and fun. Essentially, they can go above and beyond.

Independent leading UK publisher Rising Star Games have today created the world’s first virtual ‘twinning’, as their Harvest Moon videogame series has been twinned with Surrey Docks Farm in London. Most twinnings usually take place between similar major cities from different parts of the world. This is the first case of a real-world place twinning with a virtual reality environment.
