Rune Factory Tides of Destiny
SCORE: 46
Rune Factory is the violent cousin of the
Harvest Moon video games. Rune Factory allows players to go out there
and attack monsters, go through dungeons, and craft weapons/armor. There
is also planting, and blacksmithing in Rune Factory video games.
Rune Factory Tides of Destiny takes the franchise in a new direction.
One that almost killed off the series. Similar to what Wind Waker did to
and for Zelda. Rune Factory Tides of Destiny is all about the ocean.
Early on players create a plant golem. This giant can pick up sunken
islands out in the ocean.
Walking around the ocean in Rune Factory Tides of Destiny is boring,
tedious, and time consuming. Plus you drain your RP points with a
quickness. Then your health starts to drain. After that you wake up back
in town with half health and half RP.
In Rune Factory Tides of Destiny players take on the role of a character
who houses two souls. A male and a female character are merged into one
body. Yes this makes for many awkward moments, and one of the reasons
this Wii and PS3 game was such a flop. But not the only issue.
Rune Factory Tides of Destiny has insult upon insult to Christians. They
make the pastor a sexually deviant character in what can only be
described as a blatant attack on the Christian faith and beliefs. But
then the video game industry has long been known for being bigots
against Christians for some time now. Rune Factory Tides of Destiny is
the latest example.
Additional sexual content can be found in Rune Factory Tides of Destiny.
There is also violence as players fight with weapons and with their
giant planet golem. The level of enemies in Rune Factory Tides of
Destiny is crazy. Can’t throw a rock without hitting a monster
generator.
Rune Factory Tides of Destiny may have been an experiment with the
franchise. If it is then it failed. Save yourself some money and pass on
purchasing this home console game.
