Rune Factory Guardians of Azuma review

System: Switch (reviewed) / Switch 2
Release date: June 5, 2025
Developer: Marvelous
Publisher: Marvelous

In the far eastern region lies the misty country of Azuma – a once-prosperous land now choked by elemental blight and fractured runic energy. After a cataclysmic impact disrupted the flow of life itself, Azuma’s crumbling terrain and brittle fields whisper of a world in quiet ruin. And as is tradition in the Rune Factory series, an amnesiac hero shows up right on cue. But this time, their role is more than just farmhand-turned-savior – they’re the Earth Dancer, a chosen conduit of divine power, tasked with uncovering the truth behind the dying gods of the land.

For a limited time, Nintendo Switch Online members can grab brand new icons based on The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time and Zelda 2: The Adventure of Link.

Both require you to boot up the games on their respective app first. After that, you can spend My Nintendo Platinum Points on the different icons. There’s only five for Zelda 2 (they’re all characters), but there’s about a dozen for Ocarina of Time. Each one costs 10 Platinum Points.
