Item Description

Sakuna is a goddess, a spoiled one, and the game that bears her name begins by taking almost everything away from her. After a disaster in the realm of the gods sets the divine storehouse ablaze, the young harvest goddess is banished to the Isle of Demons with a ragged band of human outcasts and ordered to clear the island of its monsters. Her one real asset is her heritage as a goddess of the harvest.

That heritage turns out to be the heart of everything. Back at the mountain village, you follow a remarkably detailed rice-growing process: tilling the paddy, sorting and preparing seeds, planting seedlings, managing water and fertilizer, weeding, harvesting, drying and threshing. It is so faithful to real cultivation that Japanese players famously joked the country's agriculture ministry website worked as a strategy guide. Crucially, the quality of each harvest directly strengthens Sakuna, so every season in the paddy makes you a better fighter out in the wilds.

Out there, Sakuna becomes a side-scrolling action game with real bite. She fights with farm tools turned weapons, chaining strikes into combos, and her celestial scarf, the Divine Raiment, lets her grapple distant enemies and swing between platforms. Combat is quick and acrobatic, and the rhythm of fighting through the island, then returning home to cook and share a meal with the villagers, gives the game a warm, homespun heartbeat.

Edelweiss, the small Japanese studio behind Astebreed, spent years building Sakuna, and that care shows in its painterly environments and its grounding in Japanese folklore and seasonal tradition. It became a surprise hit when it launched in 2020 and later inspired an anime adaptation. Nothing else plays quite like it: part brawler, part farming sim, and wholly devoted to the idea that a good harvest is worth fighting for.

About the game

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.
