I know what you’re thinking… “a farming, social sim game? what’s the draw?” And all I really have to say to that is: “try it”… because once you start playing one of the Natsume titles, you will be hooked. And all of a sudden, you own 3 Harvest Moon games, are playing them all at the same time, and can’t’ remember what is going on in your real life, but can tell people all about the NPC’s in your game world.
Rune Factory is just like that… but it adds monsters and fighting and extra awesomeness. Which means it’s more addicting. And that means it is more awesome.
