Rune Factory 5 is a fantasy action role-playing game with a third-person view. In the sleepy border town of Rigbart, mysterious events unfold that affect the runes that determine the balance between humanity and nature. As a new ranger for the peacekeeping organization SEED, you'll be tasked with protecting a border town by collecting rowdy monsters with your official SEED-issued spell seal. When you're not on a mission, you'll be able to work with the people of Rigbart to help the city prosper through agriculture, festivals, and friendship.
However, as the balance of the world begins to change, the time has come to prove yourself. You can team up with the townspeople and embark on a grand adventure to unravel the mystery plaguing the land, using your inner strength to stop the descent into chaos.
