Daiteikoku's translation is a joke. It's been dropped and picked up by half a different groups at this point, and from the looks of it the current one on tlwiki can't even speak english properly, which isn't exactly a great sign. I think by the time the last group dropped it, they'd finished the entire core route, but don't quote me on that.

That said, if you like the gameplay, Big Bang Age is fantastic. Just make sure to keep a character clear guide open, because some of them are just ridiculously obscure, "Station X character with Y, Z, A, B, and C, at W for V turns. This is a low priority event, so you may need to wait a while for it to appear"

Yeah, you'd probably want to look up what all the combat icons mean too.

I think my current favorite is still Kamidori Alchemy Meister.  Spelling might be a bit off.

If you've ever enjoyed Shining Force and thought "I really wish this game was a bit more like Recettear and I could sex up every female character" then I've got good news for you.

Kamidori is fun, but it's far from the best Eushully game. I wonder why Aroduc chose it to translate of all the possibilities, but I trust he made the right choice, as his taste is pretty good. It's ridiculously finicky to get working though, the underlying engine is total garbage.

Kamidori is finicky to get working?  I never had a problem ...

I certainly would be interested in further Eushully games though.

I'd recommend Soukoku no Arterial then.

What does anyone know about Fading Hearts? It appears to be a VN on Steam Early Access, and it's on sale this week.

Nekohen (warning, anime as hell) have been doing interface patches and machine translations for a ton of Eushully stuff, along with other gameplay VNs.

I hope so. I liked playing the game, but that writing was so mediocre.

Yes. Anything that involves fighting demons with card games. (I actually have no idea what it's about)

There's a thread for this sort of thing? Sweet.

Also. Majikoi will never be fully translated

Clearly the solution is for you to learn moonrunes and translate it yourself :D

At some point in the future either Majikoi will get translated or I will finally master Japanese, but then I'm going to have completely forgotten what was even happening.

oh wait it doesnt matter its majikoi

(I would like to see that true route)



EDIT:
If you're really dying for some Majkoi you could play Majikoi S. It doesn't really require the original game and it has a good route or two, maybe. Tsubame's was pretty good. The other translated ones...not so much. The common route was pretty great too.

There was an april fool's gag of a sequel. "My girlfriend is the executor-general" or some such.
Stumbled upon this https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/wargirlgames/my-little-dictator-a-battle-visual-novel.
It seems someone had that idea already a while ago.

In other news, Imouto Paradise is out.

Hard science is like a sword, and soft science is like fear. You can use both to equally powerful results, but even if your opponent disbelieve your stabs, they will still die.
