Fan translation of Culdcept DS rocks my world photo

The Culdcept series rules. If you like board games, card games and screwing over your friends, there are few games which can compare. But, apart from a PS2 release and Culdcept Saga for the Xbox 360, predominately English-speaking Culdcept fans like the attractive and popular people pictured above have been left out in the cold.

Thankfully, some stalwart heroes over at GBATemp came to the rescue and have been working on an open translation of last year's Culdcept DS. While things look to have stalled out a bit on the project, all of the cards have had their mechanics translated. Individual card descriptions, story mode script and in-game taunts from characters still need a lot of work, but that's just icing. As long as I can play Culdcept DS, I'm a very happy camper.

If you can read Japanese, they have a wiki set up where you can contribute to the project. And you should, because Culdcept is awesome and you want to be part of something awesome, right?

[Thanks, P3T3Y!]

If all the card descriptions are translated, that's good enough. I really don't think anyone gives a crap about Culdcept's "story".

I have to admit Culdecept seemed more suited for a portable system and I was waiting for the DS game to come out. Since it's not officially out yet, I may have to give this a try! :D

Been doing this for weeks and pretty much everything of importance is translated.

Anyone that has ever played a Culdcept before will have no trouble jumping right in with the Translated version.


And for those waiting for an official release, it looks like it's not going to happen. Any announcements hinting at it coming to the US have all been taken off the net and no one has said ANYTHING about it in about a year.

I picked up the PS2 version on a whim out of a bargain bin for $15 and it was worth every penny. I played the ever-living hell out of that game, so when it was Culdcept Saga was announced, I was totally stoked. However that game is...and I hate to bitch about this, just TOO FUCKING HARD. They really ramped up the difficulty level on it, and the computer will pull shit out of it's ass and trounce you all the time. I'm talking like computer opponents in Mario Kart 64 teleport style cheating. It really is a bitch.

The 360 version is bitterly hard, but online play makes it well worth it.
