Niji no Silk Road: Zig Zag Boukenki — About this game
This is an adventure in which you become a prince who has been exiled from his homeland of Ritalland and collects rainbow mirrors, which are proof of the royal family. Funds for the trip are provided through business, buying goods in cheap towns and transporting them to towns where they are more expensive. Instead of collecting money by defeating enemies, the LP you get from battles leads to permits to sell new products. Weapons and armor support your strength, and replacing equipment and hiring soldiers will make the battle easier. However, it is important not to use up all the money you have to buy items. As you walk on land, you will run out of water, so replenishing it at oases and inns is essential. Learning market prices, increasing the number of animals for transportation, and alternately pursuing business and adventure is the fun of this game.
