Through the fire and flames, we carry on! Started many moons ago by two-fan crew Sandslice and Sixfortyfive, the Dragon Force II translation effort has proceeded in fits and starts and lives on as a community-wide project at Verve Fanworks. We’re grateful for all the support we’ve received from the RHDN community and a veritable army of testers over the years.
This release will let English-speaking Dragon Force fans understand the flow of gameplay, from navigating menus to conducting armies on the field to managing domestic affairs. What it does not do is translate the story. One out of eight storyline scenarios is complete and awaiting insertion, and a second is partially translated, but given the project’s size it’s clear we’re going to need a lot more translation help if a fully English Dragon Force II is ever to see the light of day.
In addition to attracting more volunteer Japanese-to-English translators, we hope this release will spark a healthy fan community around a game that definitely deserves a cult following. Users new to Saturn emulation will want to pay very close attention to the readme and head over to our Dragon Force II project forum with the inevitable questions. Our readme will become a living document as it’s updated with frequently asked questions and answers.
Let’s leave you with a video highlighting the game’s beautiful music and artwork alongside the gameplay translation in action, plus for one of the eight scenarios and our
