Official Description (Ad Blurb)

Based on the work of Aneko Yusagi, the popular anime "The Rising of the Shield Hero" makes its RPG debut!

Not only can you relive memorable scenes from the anime, but you can experience the battle system used by Naofumi, a hero who specializes in defense. Faithful to The Rising of the Shield Hero, you can also become a traveling merchant, conducting business throughout the vast lands of Melromarc.

BGM that can be used in the Maker series is included as a bonus with your purchase.
There are eight songs in all, penned by composer Yuka Tsujiyoko. These tracks are completely original works written for this game and you'll hear them everywhere--from battle to various maps.
Note: These bonus tracks can be found in the same folder the game is installed in.
Please use them according to the user agreement.

▼Become a merchant and travel across the vast lands of Melromarc!
Every city and town in the anime has been recreated so you can explore Melromarc in its entirety.
This game offers much more than just the story and battles. Discover materials along your journey to craft items that can be sold as a "Traveling Merchant". The actions you take as a player also affect how various NPCs throughout the world will react to your "Reputation Points". These systems and more make the world of The Rising of the Shield Hero come to life!
