Games Based On Novels/Hero of The Shield

[insanebadger]

I wasn't exactly sure where to post this so I'll try here. I've been wondering for a while now if there are any rpg made/being worked on where you have a class/main character who is restricted to a shield as a weapon. Or if there are any games inspired/based on Rising of The Shield Hero (Tate No Yuusha No Nariagari).

Dragon Quest has som shield skills, too.

One game that comes to mind where the protagonist uses a shield exclusively is Rygar: The Legendary Adventure. Another character, though not exclusively a video game character, that was mentioned, was Captain America. I also remember a Korean graphic novel that had a character late in the series, that used shields as weapons. I believe it was called ID-entity. Or just ID. Shouldn't be hard to find.

I tinkered around with different setups and did a shield-type fighting character, or a character that only used defensive/counterattack skills. It was difficult but enjoyable. It's a different mindset to play games like that. There aren't many that use that kind of mechanic, but it's possible.
