You will take control of our hero, a young businessman in charge of an adventure company. One day, while you are shopping for some new adventure equipment, a big earthquake strikes the city. When you leave, you notice that exactly where your company’s office used to be, a mysterious portal appeared! Now you must dive into the dangerous business of dungeon exploration to rescue your employees and restore your business!
Main features
- Incorporation – Start by incorporating your adventurer company to get your team of explorers up and running.
- Turn battles – Shachibato adopts a traditional turn-based SRPG battle system, where players will take control of up to 5 units to fight fierce enemies. You will choose commands and perform actions for each of your units, which will learn a wide range of impressive skills to take down your opponents.
- Deadly Enemies – When exploring various dungeons, you will encounter many different monsters, each with their own abilities and attack styles. Therefore, you will have to adapt quickly if you want to win!
- Dungeon exploration – Inside the dungeons there are several treasures and items, as well as specific missions to clear. In addition, your missing employees are waiting for your rescue, so explore the dungeon and look for them!
- Trap panels – Dungeons will have trap panels on the floor that change continuously. Traps can get in the way, but they can also be used to take advantage of them.
- Hire a new talent – Through the HR department, you can hire new adventurous employees. There are a variety of jobs, such as warrior, cleric, magician and so on. Decide which skill sets you need most and interview your new recruits!
- Rebuild your business – Your company was crushed in the dirt with the appearance of a mysterious gate. You will need to explore dungeons and collect valuable items to rebuild your business from scratch.
- Investments – The most important asset for a company is the employee. You can invest in your employees to teach them new skills and improve their statistics.
- Shopping – Every business needs supplies to function. Spend the money you earn by exploring to buy items in the store that can help you continue to expand your business. (Naturally, the company will cover all expenses related to purchases.)
