Rune Factory 3 Special [Golden Memories Edition]
On a dark and stormy night in the provincial town of Sharance, a sheep-like monster known as a wooly with unusual golden fluff tumbles from the heavens above. Rescued and cared for by a local girl, the wooly wakes up the next day to find he’s transformed into a young man. Startled and confused, our hero can’t remember much about how he found himself in this situation, but he remembers his name—Micah. Forced into action by a surprise monster attack, Micah defends his rescuer and finds himself embroiled in a longstanding conflict between the residents of Sharance and a race of horned monsters known as the Univir. With a shocking secret of his own, Micah must work to build bridges between the two races and restore peace to the world. More than a decade after its original release on Nintendo DS, Rune Factory 3 returns, remastered for a new generation on Nintendo Switch. All the classic gameplay returns with improved graphics and redesigned 3D character models, bolstered by brand-new features like “Newlywed Mode,” standalone adventures unlocked after marriage to each of the game's 11 eligible bachelorettes; “Another Episode,” fully voiced picture stories narrated by those same characters; and a "Hell" difficulty level to challenge even veteran players! Features: - Restore the Balance Between Two Worlds: Step into the shoes of Micah, a young man with amnesia and the mysterious ability to transform into a wooly, as he searches for a way for humans and monsters to coexist. - Time-tested RPG Action and Adventure Await: Master swords, spears, hammers, and even magic to take on powerful monsters. Recruit townsfolk and monsters alike to explore treacherous dungeons. - Sow the Seeds of Your New Life: Take a break from adventuring with activities like farming, fishing, and more. Discover the many varieties of Magic Seeds, which grow into strange crops that aid in your adventure in exciting ways! - Find a Beauty for the Beast: Meet 11 lovely bachelorettes, the most in series history! Learn more about them through daily interactions, fall in love, then pop the question and get married. Before you know it, you'll have a wonderful family to join in on your adventures.
