Sakuna: Of Rice and Ruin (2020)

Sakuna is an invented harvest goddess whose strength depends on the rice you actually grow. Preparing a paddy, planting, tending water and processing the crop connect divine power with seasonal labour, while meals and a small household give the work a communal setting. The Japanese agricultural and mythic influences therefore reach beyond the enemy designs. Choose it if detailed cultivation sounds rewarding: the farming asks for attention, and the side-scrolling battles add their own demands.
