Rune Factory 5 battle system and available weapons introduced
Marvelous published more details on their upcoming game Rune Factory 5. The new screenshots mostly explained the game's battle system. The coverage also introduced more characters that the player can interact with in the town.
A total of 8 weapon types are available for the player to wield in battles. Continuing to focus on a weapon type will eventually allow the player to get more skills related to that type, such as step attacks, charged attacks, to even finishers.
The player also has a Rune Ability that can be used by spending Rune Points. There are multiple abilities with varying effects from special attack to recovery. You can always change the active Rune Ability at any time to optimize an enemy's strengths and weaknesses.
