Sakuna Of Rice and Ruin

[DEI2EK]

Finally a release date!

Been waiting for this one for a while

 

Sakuna: Of Rice and Ruin launches November 10 in North America, November 12 in Japan, and November 20 in Europe

 

Sakuna: Of Rice and Ruin is a brand new title from Edelweiss, the talented indie team behind the highly acclaimed title Astebreed. Sakuna: Of Rice and Ruin represents a whole new direction for this acclaimed developer, combining side-scrolling action with deep crafting and farming simulation. Players take on the role of Sakuna, a proud yet lonely harvest goddess who is banished to a dangerous island with a group of outcast humans. As she tames the island by defeating demons in gorgeous, mysterious natural settings, she will also find a home in a mountain village, proving herself worthy of her title by harvesting rice and bettering the lives of humans. In addition to serving as a love letter to Japanese mythology, Sakuna: Of Rice and Ruin is an ode to the artistry of cultivating rice, and an engrossing simulation of the craft behind the agriculture.

Key Features

• Refined Side-scrolling Platform Action – Using farm tools as weapons, chain together quick, heavy, and special attacks to take down demonic beasts, while mastering the magical “divine raiment” will be essential to grapple distant platforms, evade danger, and overcome powerful enemies.
• Detailed 3D Simulation-style Gameplay – Learn the ancient art of agriculture by following detailed steps from planting to harvesting to cultivate the perfect crop. As a harvest goddess, Sakuna’s strength grows with each successful rice crop, with attributes such as aesthetic and flavor directly correlating to her combat abilities.
• Creating a Home in the Wilderness – Sakuna’s mortal companions make weapons, armor, and meals for her using the materials and ingredients she gathers on her adventures, and completing quests for them will unlock even more options.
• A Fresh Take on Japanese Mythology – The heroine is part of a pantheon of gods and demons inspired by traditional Japanese mythology but featuring many unique twists. The story and world are filled with lovingly rendered details, some familiar and some completely original.

Sakuna: Of Rice and Ruin Gets Console Retail Editions

 

The Divine Edition comes with an outer box, a full-sized artbook, a three disc soundtrack, and the omamori charm, for good luck. Both versions will be available to pre-order sometime soon. Hopefully this pre-order date is also when we get a concrete release date? A little spot on our calendars we can mark, and look forward to? Perhaps? One can dream.

 

If you’re unfamiliar with Sakuna, the game is equal parts action platformer and farming sim. As the rice goddess, your job is to ensure good harvests while also slaying the beasts who would lead your worshipers to starvation and suffering. For every rice crop successfully planted and harvested, Sakuna grows in strength. Your flock of devotees can even whip up gifts for you, if they’re happy enough with your work.

 

Sakuna: Of Rice and Ruin is coming to PC, PS4, and the Nintendo Switch.
