Custom Beat Battle: Draglade 2 English translation
カスタムビートバトル ドラグレイド2
The first complete English patch for the Japan-only DS sequel Draglade 2, translating the whole Story Mode including its graphics.
What's translated
English players have been waiting for this sequel since an earlier translation attempt started in 2009. The translator, who goes by Draglade2, finished a patch that covers the entire Story Mode, graphics included. The only part left in Japanese is the CoroCoro Cup content, since that online service has long been shut down.
Updates
The first release came out in July 2026. Later versions fixed crashes involving a failed quest, several NPCs and one quest in particular, corrected a stray letter issue and translated the text of a newly found area. Version 1.2.1 is the current one.
Known issues
A few rough edges remain: an odd space in the word "Grapper" in one scene, small glitches halfway through the credits, Japanese names on the first Grap License screen, letters shifting at name entry after changing the font, and minor graphical glitches in some menus.
