Find a variety of items and then use them to make new buildings or improve the damaged ones. This game is really cute and it has a lot of really nice features that make it very fun to play.
Rune Factory 2
Rune Factory 2 is more like a combination of a farm simulation/RPG and The Sims mainly because you can actually have children in the game and you can then switch character and play as your child instead. This sort of multigenerational storyline is unheard of in the gaming world! The game also provides players with a whole new story set in Alvarna that has been hit by multiple earthquakes with unknown origins in recent days. Not to mention, the tension between the evil Sechs Empire and the Kingdom of Norad have gradually been escalating and the peace that was so difficult to obtain may be shattered in a matter of days.With so many problems to content with, a farm to grow and adventures to embark on, Rune Factory is a game that offers plenty of stuff for you to do as well as multiple paths and endings which grant the game impressive replayability.
