They built hype over the last few years and appeared in a Nintendo Direct recently as well.
check this japanese twitter account, an actual rice farmer playing the game https://twitter.com/nuruhoru/status/1326801095432278016

I just wanna say that I love EDELWEISS and I've been playing their games since fairy bloom and I am very happy for their success. All of their stuff has been quality from fairy bloom to Ethel vapor to Astrbeed and I hope they get huge.
You all should play their past games. They aren't perfect but there's usually a lot to like

Yes, the game has been doing rather well and getting great word of mouth.

Sakuna: Of Rice and Ruin Appears to be Doing Well in Japan
Reports from Japan indicate that Sakuna: Of Rice and Ruin sales have done very well, selling through most of its first shipment to retailers.

I think good word-of-mouth has helped it a lot. Quite a few streamers with relatively large audiences have been picking the game up, including Japanese ones.
I think people took nintendo's promotion for granted, they helped sell this game alot
Nice! If it's big in Japan, it's always a bigger incentive to keep a series going. Haven't had a chance to play my copy yet, but have seen a lot of people being retweeted on XSEED's Twitter with pics of their LE copies. I know they said that Switch outsold it 2-1, but considering what I'm seeing on Twitter, it looks much higher than that (and may be a bigger gap as time goes on, too).
I think it was part of several ND with Nintendo also talking about it on social media.
The fact that only 2 people developed the game makes it even more impressive. I can't wait to see what they'd accomplish with a sequel now that they've laid the groundwork.
How about that. Didn't realize that they did Astebreed as well which is on Switch I remembered:
Astebreed for Nintendo Switch - Nintendo Official Site
Buy Astebreed and shop other great Nintendo products online at the official My Nintendo Store.

How is it?
The game is fantastic and oddly relaxing. Good shit to Edelweiss (and hope they get properly compensated)
The game got a nice push from Nintendo and extremely strong word of mouth.
They are not in any of the recent PR so I assume they were no longer part of assisting development or they weren't there at all.
I'm very happy for the devs and publisher. There was a sudden interest in review copies from what it seems as well! Can't wait to try it out later this year
Most of the talk comes from the rice farming. It seems very detailed and close to the reality.
Even some real farmers are giving their opinions about the game.
Btw, the game is getting exposure on TV now, so it'll keep growing up next weeks.
It jumped 18% at market open and then tanked 12%. Finished the day -6%.
It's only up 0.5% since the beginning of September, joke thread?

Wow, given the development team size, this could be a life-changer for them a la Super Meat Boy or Stardew Valley. Love to see it.

Happy for them.
I saw some comments in here from people who never heard about this game. I think people are just not interested in this title.
This is the first Sakuna thread in Era I made, which only received 30 replies lol. People have made quite a bunch of threads since then, but it's still not getting popular. So yeah, it's just one of those times where niche titles aren't really appreciated here.

How is it?
Very fun but can be overwhelming at first.
Its like what you would get if you made Zone of the Enders into a Danmaku/bullet hell type game.
Its pretty short story wise but the fun is in getting better at managing what it throws at you. Art is very nice to look at as well.
And if it were entirely up to Marvelous, and Nintendo didn't push them, it wouldn't have even hit the Switch which is likely a large part of its success there SMDH
Nintendoes what Marveloushouldhave
Very nice to hear. Congrats to Marvelous!
While on this high note, Marvelous should publish a Muramasa remake…

How's the performance on Switch? Still unsure on what platform to buy it on but if the performance is great on Switch I might pick it up on Switch over PC.
Game runs at 60fps while exploring and fighting and 30 while farming, performance from what I can tell has been pretty solid
This makes me very happy, I've been following the game for years and I never expected it to become a huge hit.
Hmm sounds good enough to me. Especially if it's solid framerate then I think I'll pick this up on Switch and maybe later on buy it on PC on sale. Thanks for letting me know.
