The "Nintendo Direct mini Software Maker Lineup 2020.7" was released on Monday, July 20, 2020 at 23:00.
There was a great deal of talk on social networking sites about what information would be announced, and new information about the various titles that had been announced so far was announced one after another!
Among them, I was especially happy to see the announcement of "Sakuna: Of Rice and Ruin" for Nintendo Switch and PS4!
The release date was finally announced!
Grow rice and power up!
"Sakuna: Of Rice and Ruin" is a Japanese-style "rice farming" action RPG developed by Eaderuwaisu and released by Marvelous.
"天穂のサクナヒメ"公式サイトSakuna, whose parents were the god of war and the god of fertility, was living a life of idleness, eating up the family fortune.
One day, however, he makes the mistake of allowing humans who have wandered into the new world to invade the capital, and ruins the entire stockpile of rice, an offering to the chief deity.
As punishment, Sakuna is ordered to investigate Hinoe Island, which is ruled by demons.What will be the fate of Sakuna and his friends?
What is unique about this game is that the main character, Sakuna, is also a fertility god and can be powered up by growing rice.
The game's catchphrase, "Rice is power!" is the catchphrase that fits the game perfectly.
Moreover, the rice production process is very authentic, from starting the rice field, sorting the seed rice, planting, harvesting, threshing, and hulling the rice!
You can even make farming equipment to make the work more efficient. It's like a village in TXKI○!
The fact that the action part of the game also features farming tools as weapons is also very nice.
New Promotional Video!
Along with the announcement at the "Nintendo Direct mini Software Maker Lineup 2020.7", a new promotional video for "Sakuna: Of Rice and Ruin" was also released!
It looks like we can learn even more about the game than in the "Nintendo Direct mini" video. We can't wait for its release!

The regular edition will be priced at \4,980 JPY (excluding tax) ($46.43 USD) and the limited edition will be priced at \6,980 JPY (excluding tax) ($65.08 USD), which includes a special luxury box newly drawn by Ryudai Murayama, the character designer, and a coloring book!
