'''''Brave Soul''''' is a hybrid [[Eroge]]/[[RPG]] for Windows, released by Crowd and translated into English by Peach Princess. It chronicles the adventures of a young man named Rudy (who the player can rename as he/she sees fit) as he sets out on his own (accompanied by a tiny dragon named Shell), and the women he meets along the way. The game allows the player to equip Rudy, Shell, and 2 other party members with weapons, armor, and accessories, as well as set skill shortcuts from the game menu. Combat takes place in real-time, with the player assuming control of Rudy, and the AI controlling the other party members based on preset behavior settings. For example, a magic-user's actions can be set to spend mana cautiously when attacking, prioritize debuffs, or let loose with her most powerful spells, consuming mana potions like water in the process. Experience gained from combat allows characters to level up, which increases their stats. New skills however are learned / earned through events, initiated by the player choosing to spend time at an inn. The party members go their separate ways, pursuing their hobbies and interests, and the player's task is find them and spend time with them.
 
This is the [[Eroge]] part of the game is decided by the following: The number of missions [[the Hero]] undertakes with a girl, some of which have a decision tree at the end, determines Rudy's standing in that girl's eyes. The events are also dependent on which of the game's towns the party decides to take a break in; towns have a degree of importance in the girls' histories, so even if Rudy has gotten in the girl's good graces an event might not trigger because the setting is wrong. For example, taking a break in a certain town might bring memories back for a girl when she was just a kid, and she decides to ask you to accompany her to her old home. Rummaging through old family albums, she comes across an old book, which contains a spell or two.

== The game offers instances of: ==
 
* [[Armor Is Useless]] -- Played around with. Armor reduces the amount of damage you receive if you get hit, metal armor more so than leather, at the cost of evasion and agility.
** Then there's the fact that one of the commonly recognized choices for Clare's best "armor" is a ''fancy dress'' that you buy for her in an event that occurs because you wanted her to have something to wear besides armor!
Line 33 ⟶ 31:
* [[Bag of Spilling]] -- Players need to finish the game at least twice before getting to keep all the loot after finishing the game.
* [[Beam Spam]] -- Rudy's Shooting Ray, which is also Light-Elemental.
* [[Black Magician Girl]] -- Carol. She's essentially [[The Slayers|Lina Inverse]] who isn't lacking in "that" area.
* [[BFSBlade of Fearsome Size]] -- There's a sword in-game that grants massive attack power and regenerative abilities - at the cost of attack speed ''and'' walking speed.
** Also, Rudy's sword in official artwork is pretty big.
* [[Black Magician Girl]] -- Carol. She's essentially [[The Slayers|Lina Inverse]] who isn't lacking in "that" area.
* [[Blade on a Stick]] -- Marin's [[Weapon of Choice]].
* [[Bonus Dungeon]] -- The aptly named Losers' Paradise. 100 levels and the toughest bosses.
