Part of the announcement in the tweet is the fact that the game is getting an anime adaptation by P.A. Works.


A television anime adaptation of developer Edelweiss side-scrolling action RPG Sakuna: Of Rice And Ruin has been announced today. The anime will be developed and produced by P.A. Works and will make its debut on TV Tokyo this year.

The game also won had an uptick of young people interested in rice farming in Japan, had more than just a video game sales impact locally. Pretty big success story for such a small developer as well as the publisher.

Back in 2020 this was my Covid game. The platforming was good but the rice farming, or, at least the tutorial and tips, really needed work.

I don't know if I'd say that but I got a week's worth of play out of it and liked pretty much everything except the failure to confirm whether you were tending rice properly.
Definitely trial and error + reading the in-game tutorials very closely

Right, but its a pain to listen to Sakuna's incorrect talking to herself. "The rice should soak in the water" when she really needs to drain the field, etc.

Sakuna is a dumb-dumb lol, you literally get scrolls with the instructions on it
