Rune Factory 4 Special lands on Switch in February

Available both physically and digitally on 28th February 2020, an updated version of the 3DS RPG allows players to return to the town of Selphia when the cute royals rule the waves in Rune Factory 4 Special appears on Nintendo Switch via Marvelous.

The Special in Rune Factory 4 Special relates to the High Definition remaster, with new features including a more challenging “Hell” difficulty level and ‘Newlywed Mode’, which introduces special episodes about living the married life with the game’s 12 eligible bachelors and bachelorettes that also feature new voices and in-game cutscenes.

Players choose to play as a male or female and will encounter a diverse cast of potential suitors and other loveable townsfolk. As the newly-appointed prince or princess, royal duties are fulfilled by issuing orders to help the town prosper, or by taking a more relaxed approach to governance by raising crops and helping townsfolk. Should some dungeon adventuring be on the day’s itinerary, a vast array of weapons along with magic can be crafted or bought for battle against dangerous foes—companions or friendly monsters can also join to aid the player during their travels.
