Sakuna: Of Rice and Ruin

In Sakuna: Of Rice and Ruin, players step into the shoes of the spoiled harvest goddess, Sakuna, who has been banished from her luxurious celestial abode to a demon-infested island known as Hinoe. In this wild and untamed environment, Sakuna must reclaim her heritage as the daughter of a warrior god and a harvest goddess by battling fearsome monsters, enduring harsh elements, and mastering the art of rice cultivation—her source of power.

Accompanied by her loyal guardian, Tama, and a band of outcast humans, Sakuna embarks on a journey to conquer both the land and its malevolent creatures. Developed by the indie team Edelweiss, known for their work on Astebreed, this game beautifully blends side-scrolling action with intricate crafting and agriculture mechanics.

Players will experience refined platforming action, employing farm tools as weapons to deal with demonic foes while mastering magical abilities to traverse the environment. The game features a detailed simulation of rice farming, allowing players to plant, grow, and harvest crops that enhance Sakuna’s combat abilities. Set against a backdrop of unique interpretations of Japanese mythology, Sakuna: Of Rice and Ruin offers a captivating narrative filled with rich detail and a fresh perspective on traditional themes.
