Sakuna: Of Rice and Ruin Golden Harvest Special Edition Announced for Europe

Sakuna: Rice and Ruin

Marvelous, the European publisher for Sakuna: Of Rice and Ruin, has announced the Golden Harvest special edition for the game in Europe.

As previously reported; the game’s Divine Edition in North America includes the game, an 8.2″ x 5.8″ artbook with over 130 pages, a full 3 CD 42 song OST, and a 2″ x 3″ Japanese omamori charm (“to bring owners good luck in combat and farming”).


Now, Marvelous (the game’s publisher in Europe) has revealed the special editions for Europe. The Golden Harvest edition comes with the game, a 132-page artbook, 3 disc soundtrack CD collection, double sided poster, and collector’s box. This is almost identical to the North American special edition, bar the charm for a double sided poster.

The Golden Harvest edition is available in Europe for SRP €59.99 / £49.99. Pre-orders will be available “soon” via the Marvelous Games Store.

You can find the full rundown (via Nintendo) below.


Developed by Edelweiss, the two-man team behind acclaimed indie darling Astebreed, Sakuna: Of Rice and Ruin combines side-scrolling action with deep crafting and farming simulation. Players take on the role of Sakuna, a spoiled harvest goddess banished to a dangerous island with a group of outcast humans. As she explores the beautiful yet forbidding environments of the island, she will also find a home in a mountain village, proving herself worthy of her title by harvesting rice and bettering the lives of humanity.

KEY FEATURES

Refined Side-scrolling Platform Action

Using farm tools as weapons, chain together quick, heavy, and special attacks to take down demonic beasts, while mastering the magical “divine raiment” will be essential to grapple distant platforms, evade danger, and overcome powerful enemies.

Detailed 3D Simulation-style Gameplay

Learn the ancient art of agriculture by following detailed steps from planting to harvesting to cultivate the perfect crop. As a harvest goddess, Sakuna’s strength grows with each successful rice crop, with attributes such as aesthetic and flavor directly correlating to her combat abilities.

Creating a Home in the Wilderness

Sakuna’s mortal companions make weapons, armor, and meals for her using the materials and ingredients she gathers on her adventures, and completing quests for them will unlock even more options.

A Fresh Take on Japanese Mythology

The heroine is part of a pantheon of gods and demons inspired by traditional Japanese mythology but featuring many unique twists. The story and world are filled with lovingly rendered details, some familiar and some completely original.


Sakuna: Of Rice and Ruin launches November 10th on Windows PC (via Steam), Nintendo Switch, and PlayStation 4.
