Translation SNES / Super Famicom

Ryuuki Heidan Danzarb English translation

Dragon Squadron: Danzarb · Ryuuki Heidan: Danzarb · 龍騎兵団ダンザルブ

Aeon Genesis's English translation of Dragon Squadron Danzarb, a quirky Gainax mecha RPG for the Super Famicom built around episodic missions and puzzles.

What it is

Danzarb follows Matthew, a fresh graduate of a military academy, as he joins a squad of robot pilots fighting an invading army. The game is split into missions like episodes of an anime, and each one throws in a little puzzle or minigame of its own, such as collecting ID card pieces and slotting them together, or piecing together a bomb's defuse code from clues dropped by enemy soldiers.

What's translated

The whole game is in English. Tom handled most of the translation and the hacking was redone from scratch for a cleaner script; after a playtesting round, version 1.00 was released on 24 August 2007.

Playing it

The patch is applied to your own copy of the Japanese Super Famicom game, following the instructions that come with it. Aeon Genesis keeps the patch, its readme and screenshots on its project page.
