The people of Sharance and their horned Univir neighbors are embroiled
in a bitter conflict. An age-old hatred between humans and monsters
divides them. Micah is an adventurer with an unusual secret: he’s half
monster! He’ll have to unite the humans and the Univir in time to stop
the growing evil force that threatens to destroy them both!
Rune Factory 3 introduces a number of exciting new features to the Rune
Factory series: befriended villagers will now join you in battle and
lend you their unique skills, players can transform Micah into his
monster form to unleash a savage new arsenal of fighting moves, and
the game’s new multiplayer mode lets up to three players work together
to conquer unique dungeons packed with rare items and fearsome
monsters.
