About Sakuna: Of Rice and Ruin
✦ AI summary
Banished from her divine home to a demon-infested island, a spoiled harvest goddess must master side-scrolling combat and detailed rice cultivation to reclaim her power and find her place in the world. This indie gem uniquely blends fast-paced action platforming with deep farming simulation, where your crops directly strengthen your character and unlock new gear crafted by your human companions.
Spoiled harvest goddess Sakuna finds herself banished from her opulent celestial home to an island overrun with demons. In the untamed wilderness, she must rediscover her birthright as the daughter of a warrior god and harvest goddess by weathering the elements, fighting monsters, and cultivating rice, the source of her power. By her side in this forbidding place is her guardian Tama and a group of outcast humans. Together, these unlikely companions must join hands to tame both the soil and the demons of Hinoe Island.
Developed by Edelweiss, the indie team behind the acclaimed Astebreed, Sakuna: Of Rice and Ruin combines side-scrolling action with deep crafting and rice cultivation in a powerful tale about finding one's place in the world.

Creating a Home in the Wilderness

Example: forward button + light attack = dash attack. After dash attack there will be a delay before you can perform a series of light attacks. However, if you press up + light attack, the delay will be ignore and you can do combo airborne.
