Product Description
Up in the opulent celestial Capital of the Lofty realm, the Spoiled harvest goddess sakuna whiles away her life in luxury, resting on the laurels of her late parents. Below in the lowly realm, a vicious mountain bandit chases a group of desperate humans to the edge of a cliff. A bridge between the two realms appears, and it is there that sakuna crosses paths with the "children of men." in the commotion that follows, the goddess and the waylaid mortals cause a great explosion that earns them the ire of the celestial ruler, lady kamuhitsuki. She exiles them to hinoe island, a mysterious place bordering the Earth and heavens that sakuna's parents once called home, and commands them to reclaim the aptly titled “Isle of demons” from the clutches of a monstrous horde. As the daughter of a Warrior god and harvest goddess, sakuna will rediscover her birthright in this untamed wilderness by weathering the elements, fighting monsters, and cultivating the soil. And by helping their Immortal protector, the humans Banished with her may yet find the reason to live that was stolen from them in the war-torn lowly realm. Together, these unlikely companions must join hands to tame both the soil and the demons of hinoe island.

You grow rice. The quality of your rice is determined by how you grow the starting sprouts, how you till your field, how you space the rice during planting, how much water you use at various stages, the kind of fertilizers you use (you make your own), when you harvest, and how you process the rice (like hulling, polishing). The final stats of your rice affect how *your* stats grow (hp, attack, etc), which allows you to do better in combat. The more you fight, the more places you unlock, and the greater the variety of materials you can gather, which allows you to grow better crops. Growing better crops makes you stronger, and loop.
While the farming process can be VERY involved, you can play the game just fine without min-maxing or micromanaging your crops. So, if you are not a fan of super farming management, that is fine! You will still have a lot of fun, and at later stages of the game, NPCs can automate and take over the farming if you want. They won't do as well as if you do it yourself, but if you don't like this part of the game, then you do not have to do it!
Combat areas are 2D platforms. Sakuna has a fairly wide range of combat styles you can do, and you have a lot of flexibility in button mapping.
The farm is 3D, and you can interact with NPCs, collect bugs and produce, craft weapons and clothing, etc.
It is a pretty solid game, and let it consume my life for a little while. I love both farming sim/management games and fighting games, and Sakuna is a great crossover between these genres.
Reviewed in the United States on July 8, 2022
The game's graphics are stunning and vibrant, with beautiful hand-drawn character designs and environments. The soundtrack is also excellent, with a mix of traditional Japanese music and modern sound effects that enhance the gameplay experience.
The gameplay is split into two main parts: action and simulation. The action parts of the game are challenging and rewarding, with responsive controls and exciting battles against various demons. The simulation parts of the game focus on rice cultivation, with players needing to manage a rice paddy and make strategic decisions to ensure a good harvest.
One of the standout features of the game is its attention to detail. The rice cultivation aspect of the game is surprisingly detailed, with players needing to consider factors such as water level, temperature, and soil quality to grow healthy rice. The game also includes a lot of interesting and informative facts about Japanese culture and mythology, making it an educational experience as well as an enjoyable one.
Overall, Sakuna: of Rice and Ruin is a fantastic game that is both challenging and relaxing. The combination of action and simulation gameplay, along with its beautiful graphics and attention to detail, make it a unique and engaging experience on the Nintendo Switch.
oh but then she went back to playing some free to play shooter that isnt nearly as good as this game.. oh well.

Reviewed in Mexico on September 23, 2021
The first thing that caught my eye was the art style, but I was surprised to find such an intrinsically balance of action and farming.
I found the gameplay rewarding, and was pleased to find there was a story beyond what you typically see from pure farming games.
Revisiting areas is a little repetitive sometimes, but there's enough exploration to keep things fresh.
Overall, I was very impressed and highly recommend any other Switch owners to take a look.
