In Sakuna: Of Rice and Ruin players take on the role of Sakuna a proud yet lonely harvest goddess who is banished to a dangerous island with a group of outcast humans. Sakuna tames the island by defeating demons using farm tools as weapons while also making ample use of her “celestial scarf” a magical item that allows her to grapple distant enemies and platforms. Along the way she establishes a home in a mountain village which serves as a base of operations for crafting weapons and cooking food. Additionally as a harvest goddess she grows rice by following a detailed process that encompasses everything from planting to harvesting. Through this process across each of the four seasons she’s able to improve the harvest and hone her battle skills alike.
