Dropship Sakuna: Of Rice and Ruin - Nintendo Switch

Embark on a Japanese adventure with your Nintendo Switch and explore Hinoe Island in this great game - Sakuna: Of Rice and Ruin.

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.

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 gameplay in 3D simulation style

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 flavour directly correlating to her combat abilities.    

Creating a home in the wilderness

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

A Fresh Take on Japanese Mythology

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