There’s little out there that’s more wholesome than Rune Factory, which is a good start in achieving “warmth.” It’s a universe where conflict is rare and hardworking communities of people come together, with everyone happy to accept their niche and role in life. It’s all very slice of life, and to work, slice of life needs to have a couple of things going for it: interesting characters and a sense of warmth. For my part I spent as little time as possible in the dungeon crawling, simply because I prefer the other side of the game, though I did enjoy heading out in the wilderness to tame cute monsters, which would then be added to my barn back in town. But then we do live in a world where content is king, and setting the difficulty setting high enough will guarantee you a longer grind and the need to do better min-maxing of your character stats. I would say that the difficulty options do seem very out of place in this kind of game, and the easier, more relaxed difficulty settings are appropriate to the overall game’s tone.
Combat is simple, enemy AI is basic and the difficulty largely comes from increasing monster’s health and damage output.
For people that do want a bit more of a challenge, there are multiple difficulty settings for the action combat, but at no stage does Rune Factory ever become something complex and challenging on the reflexes and skill as stuff like NieR: Automata can be.
