9/10 Compared to RF4, the story is simpler, the crafting is simpler, ost is still godly and the romance is a bit more straightforward... but by god, the characters in this game are so unhinged and freaky that it becomes incredibly charming, It is wholesome af and I really enjoy it. I also ended up 100% it because the game is addicting as hell.

A charming game, it's not as complex or crazy as 4, but it's the last game in the series to have an exclusively male protagonist, so a lot of work went into the bachelorettes, and they're all very well developed and fun to build relations with. Easy to beat before the first year is over.

I love this game. It's a bit simpler than Rune Factory 4 but the story and cast is fantastic. I played probably hundreds of hours on the original DS release and the special edition is ALMOST as good. I highly recommend adding the original voice lines mod from the steam workshop cause when they redid the voice acting for the little snippets of text it was nothing like the original games. Poor Raven and Daria were hit...
