I can kind of excuse them for the English translation not being very good, since it was a small French company - I'm guessing they probably had to outsource the translation and didn't have any native English speakers on staff to polish it up. <br /><br />I just think they're perhaps not getting the credit they deserved. Not to detract from Carpe Fulgur's work - I appreciate any company bringing quality stuff like this to a wider audience, and they've done a hell of a good job of it - but DHM were (as far as I'm aware) the first Western publisher to license Japanese doujin games, even giving them physical boxed releases. you can't say they didn't have any love for what they did - if they were only in it for the money, they would have just gone down the road of every other small European publisher and released endless games about horses and finding hidden objects, but they stuck with Japanese stuff to the end (both doujin & games from more established companies like Irem and SNK).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1135815543912646655.post-14122038736989452682011-07-30T04:32:53.369-04:002011-07-30T04:32:53.369-04:00Saw this up today, nabbed it.

It all fires high and to the right, which means your basic spells miss a LOT of the basic enemies by flying over them.<br /><br />Plus there desperately needs to be a way to "suck up" coins. I spend more time running around picking them up than doing the actual fighting.<br /><br />That said, it is really fun. Totally worth the tenner.Dragoonkinnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1135815543912646655.post-50033366698683715422011-07-30T01:24:46.545-04:002011-07-30T01:24:46.545-04:00Discoalucard is correct in that a French company h...Discoalucard is correct in that a French company had an English release in the past-- however, the quality of the English translation left a lot to be desired.
