Translation 3DO

Battle Blues English translation

배틀 블루스

Jeremy Decola's English translation of a Korean 3DO tactics game, with subtitled cutscenes, English credits and new difficulty levels that tame its brutal original balance.

What's translated

Jeremy Decola translated the game from Korean: the story of all ten chapters, the chapter loading screens, battle comments such as friendly fire and unit retreat lines, and other events. Every cutscene was given English subtitles, and the end credits were redone in English.

What's new

The original game is extremely hard, with weak party stats and little money. The patch tool lets you pick a difficulty: Easy and Normal raise attack and defense (and some speed and movement) for your units and give more credits per mission, Hard keeps the original stats but not the extra money, and Impossible is the untouched original game. The README explains the changes in detail.

Playing it

The Battle Blues Patch & Balance Tool from the repository's releases patches your own copy of the game; follow the steps in the README, and leave the keyboard alone while it works, since the tool sends key presses during patching.
