Rune Factory: Guardians of Azuma

Rune Factory: Guardians of Azuma is rated T for Teen by the ESRB with Fantasy Violence, Language, Mild Suggestive Themes, and Use of Alcohol. Also includes In-Game Purchases. This is an action role-playing game in which players assume the role of an amnesiac warrior tasked with awakening gods and purifying the Blight. From a third-person perspective, players explore villages, interact with characters, farm and collect resources, and battle various monsters (e.g., tanukis, wasps, sprites) in melee-style combat. Players use swords and companions to attack enemies in frenetic battles; combat is highlighted by impact sounds, colorful light effects, and dwindling health bars/hit points. One female character is depicted in a swimsuit that reveals a moderate amount of cleavage and breast-jiggling effects. The game contains some alcohol content: a ceremony in which players' character drinks sacred sake; several characters with flushed faces drinking alcohol, with accompanying dialogue (e.g., “I'm good. Not even tipsy”; “This could just be some drunken ramblings...”; “...I'm so drunk…”). Players' character can also purchase and consume alcoholic beverages from a menu screen. The word “a*shole” appears in the game.
