Splatterworld: Rick to Kyoufu no Daiou English translation
スプラッターワールド リックと恐怖の大王 · Splatterworld
Aeon Genesis's English translation of Splatterworld, Namco's cancelled Famicom horror-comedy RPG spun off from Splatterhouse, done within weeks of the prototype surfacing.
What it is
Splatterworld is a cute, joke-filled RPG take on Splatterhouse that Namco finished but never released. Aeon Genesis translated it shortly after the prototype appeared in late 2025, and the game can be played from start to end in English. The prototype has a few small bugs, none that block progress.
What's translated
The story, dialogue, battles, shops, menus and status screens are all in English. Version 1.1 refined the patch, and the project's source code and assets were published as open source at the same time.
A note on content
Among the spirits the player can summon are several real historical dictators. The translators kept them as they were in the original for the sake of preservation, and flag this up front.
Playing it
Apply the patch to your own copy of the prototype following the instructions on the project page.
