What's translated

The game's dialogue boxes are in English, so the hints villagers give about the road ahead, the story and the quest goals can now be followed. In an action RPG where you are often told where to go next, that makes the difference between playing it and wandering around. The status gauges along the bottom of the screen keep their original look.

Playing it

The patch is applied to your own copy of the Japanese HuCard. It is listed with a screenshot on cabbage's PC Engine translations page, alongside the group's other PC Engine patches.

The translation is credited to cabbage and Shubibiman.
