Rune Factory 3 Special

As in other "Harvest Moon" titles, you grow and maintain crops, as well as improve your home with furniture and other items.

Your stamina is limited, and every movement you make, whether it be digging, chopping or fighting with a sword depletes this.

A top-view game, Rune Factory incorporates farm-simulation with real-time battling.

You can equip weapons and shields, as well as learn and wield magic.

Unlike the games in this series previously, you do not care for regular farm animals.

Instead, monsters that you capture from the various caverns become yours to use for either farming or fighting.

Again, staying true to the series' roots, it is possible to befriend and eventually marry potential girls in the town.

Other features include the presence of variable weather conditions, a "yearly" calender with various set events and seasons, and many side-quests like fishing, and farming within the many caverns.

Rune Factory 3 Special for Nintendo Switch is currently worth €35.94 loose, €21.32 complete in box, and €17.61 factory sealed. Prices are based on real sales and update regularly on Gamevaro.

Rune Factory 3 Special has a steady sales history on the tracked marketplaces, meaning it trades hands regularly and isn't considered particularly rare.

Loose means cartridge or disc only, CIB (complete in box) includes the original box and manual, and sealed means factory-sealed and never opened. For Rune Factory 3 Special, loose is €35.94 and CIB is €21.32 — CIB commands a premium because original boxes and manuals are fragile and often don't survive.

The PAL version of Rune Factory 3 Special is currently worth €35.94 loose, versus €30.09 for NTSC-U. Regional price differences usually come down to print run size and regional collector demand.
