I like it sofar, playing the main protagonist AND the cat. ste86uk Well-Known Member May 9, 2012 6,774 1,003 113 #8 ste86uk, Oct 28, 2020 Have they fixed the English text? Seemed to be one of the big down points on steam reviews. They say the translation is rubbish and horrible to read. Aerion Well-Known Member May 14, 2014 51 8 8 #9 Aerion, Oct 28, 2020 I have the impression that 2 different ppl or teams worked on the localization to English: some parts are well done and even funny/ironic, some parts are horrible to read. The game would greatly benefit from more polish here, definitely. anthony78 Well-Known Member Nov 13, 2015 3,128 704 113 #10 anthony78, Oct 28, 2020 Been playing it and enjoying it but, yeah, translation is still pretty bad. Surprising since it’s been out on Steam for well over a year. Was hoping that would have been cleaned up. There’s some words that you know what it should have been but the one they use isn’t even in the ballpark. Most of it is okay. Just the issues that are there are glaring. ste86uk Well-Known Member May 9, 2012 6,774 1,003 113 #11 ste86uk, Oct 28, 2020 definitely sad to hear it hasn’t been done that just makes me think they are lazy and don’t care about their game. Hell even I’ve corrected all of the English in games for a couple of games now because I just can’t stand it. Not that I’m perfect with mine but still far better than broken English that makes no sense or reads horribly. moshgra Active Member Aug 24, 2012 43 14 8 General Service Technician at PepBoys. Full time S Dover, DE #12 moshgra, Oct 29, 2020 There are large portions of the game that aren't translated at all. Still comes up in Chinese and it makes me so sad because this game was really interesting up till I couldn't read anything Gwarmaxx likes this.

Ghostdog1 Well-Known Member Jan 30, 2015 319 125 43 #14 Ghostdog1, Oct 30, 2020 I was very happy to see this release and played it about 20 minutes til i saw some big parts of the game are in chinese. What a bummer. Based on the never fixed steam version i guess we wont see an update on this. Maybe they should call themself „Broke(n) Technology Company“ and not „Boke Technology Company“. anthony78 Well-Known Member Nov 13, 2015 3,128 704 113 #15 anthony78, Oct 30, 2020 I asked for a refund. Hopefully I get it. This is not in a state of being able to play.

It definitely makes me appreciate Chinese companies that have good translations to their games (miHoYo, Pearl Abyss) since there are plenty of games that have less than stellar translations. Still might definitely pick this up in the future since there is a lot of work put into the game. Just hoping for a couple of good translation patches. Gwarmaxx likes this. Gwarmaxx Well-Known Member Feb 2, 2010 4,446 376 83 NCC 1701 #17 Gwarmaxx, Nov 1, 2020 yeah, the attention to details in this game is outstanding, worth more than 4 bucks just for all that work! anyway, the story is really good, in a perfect Blade Runner mood, and what i appreciate the most is the mix between the classic detectivesque adventure (it could have been just another point & click one) and the dynamism of an action game. great piece of work!

I’m sorry but the fact that this was out for over a year on PC and wasn’t fixed for this version is pure laziness. Sure it took effort to port but spend another month or so fixing the translation and release it right.

In any other gaming era of the past something like this would easily fetch full retail...yes I’m old. I’m definitely going to pick this up then. I am a big fan of detective like adventures and the pixel art is amazing. I’ve been itching to play weird sci-fi / cyberpunk style games and had interest in this since early this year when I first heard about it. Other strange sci-fi games on my short list I’m looking into: I Have No Mouth And I Must Scream- disturbing cult classic from what I’ve read about it although I’ve never played the game or read the book. Only problem is I don’t know the compatibility with the latest iOS. Certain games say their compatible yet don’t boot up under the newest iOS. Flashback - despite my oldness I’ve actually never played flashback. Another World- never played it and it’s very much a classic sci-fi game. much like the above I hope it works. Gwarmaxx likes this.

We’ll see if that’s true or if they said that to fob me off (I offered to help - this is literally my job). sebgo and Gwarmaxx like this. (You must log in or sign up to post here.)

This one does look beautiful and intriguing, I very nearly ordered it but I’m still a bit unsure what the gameplay is so I thought I’d wait to hear some comments.
Professional reviews were not so great on the PC version but Steam reviews are mostly positive. And I love Steampunk so I might need to bite.
