An Exhilarating and Deep Arena Shooter Game

This title is an exhilarating arena shooter where you level up, carefully select your equipment, and mow down hordes of enemies.

Clear the objectives set for each stage within the dungeon as you aim for the boss in the deepest part.

You can conquer the dungeon with the protagonist, Hibiki, along with two companions who have unique skills.

Story

To earn money for their journey, Hibiki and his friends take on requests from the town.

The group visits a forest rumored to be the site of recent disappearances to gather requested materials, but they fall into a magical trap in the woods and are teleported to a mysterious dungeon...

Can Hibiki and his friends escape from the dungeon? And what is the identity of the mysterious girl they meet there?

The game's story is an original tale told with full voice acting throughout. We hope you look forward to a story that can be enjoyed not only by fans but also by those unfamiliar with the series.

Develop Your Characters and Conquer the Dungeon!

In the game, you can strengthen your characters by obtaining weapons from treasure chests or by leveling up to increase their stats. All weapon acquisitions and stat boosts are chosen from a random selection of three options, allowing for a different growth experience each time you play.

(Image: It's a tough choice which one to pick...)

Master the Use of Unique Characters!

You will challenge the dungeon with a party of three led by the protagonist, Hibiki. Each character possesses unique skills, and the strategy for conquering the dungeon will change drastically depending on your party composition.

You can freely switch the character at the front of the party within the dungeon. By switching the lead character, you can utilize different 'Passive Skills' and 'Active Skills'. The characters in the rear will continuously attack using their own unique normal skills.

'Active Skills' are powerful unique abilities for each character that can be activated by consuming skill points during dungeon exploration. They are all easy to use and powerful, but be mindful of your remaining skill points.

(Image: Hibiki's active skill 'Appraisal' and passive skill 'World Map' are cheat-level abilities, just like in the original work.)

What is 'The Strongest Job Isn't Hero or Sage, It's Appraiser (provisional), Apparently?'

Based on the novel series (Original: Atekichi / Illustration: Asahi Shigaraki / Manga: Chuji Takeda, published by Alphapolis), this hit series has surpassed a total of 1 million copies sold.

One day, ordinary high school student Hibiki Manabe is suddenly transported to a vast grassland in another world where monsters lurk. While wandering aimlessly through this fantasy world he's never seen before, Hibiki realizes he has been given a skill called 'Appraisal' and the job 'Appraiser (provisional)'... (provisional)!?

Guided by a blonde elf named Emaria whom he meets in the grassland, Hibiki becomes an adventurer. Along with Claude, a cursed beastman, Lilian, a future sage, and Vene, a white cat holy beast, he gradually grows stronger while searching for a way back to his own world.

Will he be able to return to his original world safely? And will the day come when he becomes the strongest, just as the title suggests!?
