“Bravest!” is a classic single-player RPG. Featuring a battle system that combines a front-view perspective with “front and rear” formations, along with a four-person party system and level-based progression, the game offers the classic fun and strategic depth of an RPG that anyone can enjoy with confidence. Originally released on Japanese feature phones, Bravest! became a major hit, reaching hundreds of thousands of players. With its memorable premise—“a NEET is summoned to another world and becomes a hero”—the game drew attention as an early example of the isekai genre. Now, in response to many requests from fans, it has been revived as a modern platform port. Filled with humor from beginning to end, this RPG is also a heartfelt adventure that inspires courage. For this re-release, we used a proprietary i-mode compatible layer to faithfully recreate the original i-mode game. It features the nostalgic 12-dot retro font and retro audio, allowing you to play with the same atmosphere as the original. (Switchable) While keeping the graphics and difficulty intact, we’ve adjusted the user interface and pacing, added controller support, and made other tweaks to ensure a smooth and enjoyable experience on modern devices. ◆Story◆ Yusuke Ogiwara, a NEET who’s all the rage these days. One day, he woke up to find himself in a world he’d never seen before. That world is currently in dire straits due to the Demon King. There was an ancient legend in that world. “When the Demon King appears, a hero from another world will save the realm.” Summoned to this other world by a wizard, Yusuke becomes a “sort-of” hero to defeat the Demon King, and sets out on his journey. Can Yusuke Ogiwara, the NEET summoned to another world, become a true hero and defeat the Demon King? Please enjoy this adventure story that feels both nostalgic and thrilling. ◆Controls◆ [Move] : D-pad, touch controls [Confirm] : O button [Cancel] : X button [Quick Menu] : Star button [Menu] : Wrench button ◆Formation◆ Select the character's position in battle from the front row or back row. Placing a character in the back row makes them less likely to be targeted by enemy monsters. It is more effective to place characters with low defense in the back row whenever possible. Cast area-of-effect spells from a position where you are less likely to be targeted by enemies to end the battle quickly! ◆Changes from the Feature Phone Version◆ ・Upgraded to 60fps ・Added convenience menu (full HP restore and shortcuts) ・Increased save slots from 3 to 9 ・UI adjustments ・Enhanced certain effects ・Corrected some text ◆Notes◆ [※] This game runs at a fixed 60fps. If connected to a display with a refresh rate other than 60Hz (or a multiple thereof), the motion may feel choppy.
