Taking place in the Kingdom of Norad, players must take on the role of Prince or Princess and bring prosperity back to the picturesque town of Selphia. Tend to your farm and find romance among the town’s singles before setting off into the wilderness and surrounding dungeons to defeat or tame monsters. It’s a mix of play styles that has garnered Rune Factory well-earned praise from both fans and critics alike.

Rune Factory 4 promises to be the biggest in the series to date. Boasting hundreds of items, crops, weapons and equipment to find and grow, as well as a substantial story and rich characters to enjoy - there has never been a better time to discover this superb JRPG series.

Earlier this year Marvelous Entertainment revealed that Rune Factory 4 would not be released in Europe, but that seems to have changed once again.

"We know how great Rune Factory 4 is, which is why we’re so happy it’s releasing in PAL territories" commented Steven Tarry, Marketing Manager, Marvelous Europe. "2014’s been a great year for Nintendo gamers, and this really is the icing on the cake."

Rune Factory 4 will be available exclusively via the Nintendo eShop for £24.99/€29.99 and $49.95 AUD.
