Castle Quest English translation
キャッスルクエスト · Triumph
Cabal Translations and Hubz deliver a full English version of Hudson's Famicom chess-meets-RPG game, never released in the US and only partly available in English on Game Boy.
What's translated
All of the game's text, from piece names and spells to the tutorial and help screens, is in English. The team pitches it as the definitive English Castle Quest: the European Game Boy release is in English but lacks parts of the Famicom game and looks plainer.
About the game
It plays like chess with a twist: when one piece lands on another, the two fight a battle in which drawn cards decide whether attacks get past the defender's guard. Each piece has its own strengths and magic, and spells cast on the board can turn a match around, so luck and planning both count.
