“Bravest! Side Story: KURIMOTO QUEST” is a single-player RPG. The protagonist is a merchant—neither a warrior nor a mage. He fights by making full use of various weapons, armor, and items. ・Battle System Use the “Look” command to check what actions monsters will take on their next turn. By observing enemy actions, you can decide which enemies to defeat first or whether to defend—enjoy strategic battles. ・Growth System Winning battles randomly increases your HP. As your HP increases, the number of items you can equip also increases. ・Equipment System Merchant Kurimoto’s stats change depending on the items he equips, and he becomes stronger by obtaining powerful gear. You can equip as many weapons, armor, and items as you like, as long as they fit within your equipment slots. You can equip seven swords or five sets of armor. You can specialize your equipment for attack, defense, or healing as you see fit, so if you encounter an enemy you can’t defeat, try re-evaluating your equipment first. ・Equipment Parameters Weapons have two stats: Attack and Power, while shields have two stats: Limit and Evasion.  ◆ Attack → A value that increases when equipped  ◆ Power → A value added to the damage dealt to enemies when used in battle  ◆ Limit → The maximum amount of damage a shield can negate when used in battle  ◆ Evasion → A value that increases when equipped To make the most of your gear, be sure to check the details of each item frequently. ・Compatibility Layer This title faithfully recreates the original i-mode game using a proprietary i-mode compatible layer. It features nostalgic 12-dot retro fonts 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, pacing, and added controller support to make the game more accessible on modern platforms. ◆Story◆ “Kazuhiro Kurimoto,” the world's greatest merchant. He is the merchant who supported the heroes, including Yusuke, from the shadows. This title tells the story that reveals everything about this merchant, Kurimoto. “Kazuki Kurimoto,” his father, who was swindled by a con artist and lost everything. Using his father's final words as a clue, Kurimoto pursues the mystery to avenge his father's grievance. ――And the stage shifts from the world of Bravest! back into the past… ◆Controls◆ [Move] : D-pad, touch controls [Confirm] : O button [Cancel] : X button [Quick Menu] : Star button [Menu] : Wrench button ◆Changes from the Feature Phone Version◆ ・Upgraded to 60fps ・Added Quick Menu ・Increased save slots from 3 to 9 ・UI adjustments ・Enhanced certain effects ・Corrected some text ◆Notes◆ [※] The English text in the game is based on machine translations of the Japanese text, which have been edited.
