Rune Factory 2

"Like the original Rune Factory, Rune Factory 2 is a combination farming sim and dungeon crawler. If you’d like, you can think of it as Harvest Moon meets Legend of Zelda."

"Rune Factory 2: A Fantasy Harvest Moon once again returns adventurers to the kingdom of Norad for more fantasy farming action. Much like the original, this game features a blend of Harvest Moon-style life-simulation gameplay and traditional Japanese role-playing game mechanics."

"It may sound like Rune Factory 2 is a worthless game, but that's only my tendency to focus on the negative, and it is especially frustrating because the developers made so many avoidable mistakes. The experience is still a solid one, however; but overall, it did not improve over Rune Factory and remains to be the more tedious and irritating one of the pair. Certain inconveniences were eliminated, but the gameplay remains repetitive, frustrating, and full of downtime. The value of the package may be the game's greatest strength; just beating the game takes hours upon hours, and it doesn't have to end there. Fortunately, it can end there for those who cannot handle spending one more second in Alvarna. I for one rushed to the end to be done with the frustration that was Rune Factory 2, and I vow to never again mix swords and hoes."
