XSEED has released the first in a series of Rune Factory 4 ‘How To’ trailers, teaching newcomers the basic game mechanics. For those of you who have never touched a Rune Factory game, it is a spin-off of the Harvest Moon series. One of the main differences between the two series is that Rune Factory games also feature a bit of dungeon crawling and combat. Otherwise, the farming mechanics, along with the interaction with the NPCs that made the Harvest Moon series popular with fans, are still there in full force. You can build a farm, and even get married and start a family. Check out the trailer below:

Rune Factory 4 is coming out on August 13 for the Nintendo 3DS.
