Marvelous Europe Shares New Video for Rune Factory 3 Special
Marvelous Europe, a renowned game publisher, has unveiled a new video for Rune Factory 3 Special, an enhanced and expanded version of the beloved RPG/Life Sim. The game is set to launch on September 5th for the Nintendo Switch system and Windows PC via Steam.
Introducing Sharance’s Eligible Bachelorettes
The latest video introduces players to the 11 bachelorettes that the main character, Micah, will encounter in his daily life. When Micah is not busy managing his farm or exploring treacherous dungeons, he will have the opportunity to interact with a captivating cast of marriageable ladies. Among them is Shara, a compassionate young woman with a strong sense of justice; Sofia, an heiress who has a peculiar habit of saying the opposite of what she means; and Raven, a blunt blacksmith’s assistant who prefers silence over idle chatter.
Embark on Micah’s Journey
In Rune Factory 3 Special, players assume the role of Micah, a young man who possesses the extraordinary ability to transform into a golden sheep-like creature known as a wooly. After an unexpected fall brings him to the provincial town of Sharance, Micah is rescued by a young woman. However, he awakens with no recollection of his past and becomes entangled in an enduring conflict between humans and monsters. Micah’s mission is to foster understanding and reconciliation between the races, all while uncovering a startling secret of his own.
Exciting Features Await
One of the exciting features in Rune Factory 3 Special is Newlywed Mode, a collection of standalone adventures that become accessible after marrying any of the game’s 11 eligible bachelorettes. Additionally, a new difficulty level called “Hell” has been introduced to challenge even the most seasoned players.
