I want to play a rougelike so bad, but can't find any good ones. This series looks amazing but, I am also restrained by the language barrier. I heard that someone was planning on translating the first one, but had to stop due to irl stuff.
Oh god I was just watching the video and I think I saw Patchouli use self destruct.
your in luck, the first one did stop, but mostly everything is complete. i've played it myself, even the story is english. i think the only thing in japanese is some rare random chance cutscenes, and the newspapers, if you want i can link you the english patch. (newspapers just tell about random irrelevant things going on in gensokyo)
@Ghaleon im assuming you havn't played it before but its another kind of roguelike, unlike normal rougelikes it doesn't just wipe your items, it basically deletes your save file. and its ungodly hard, after only a handful of floors (if you get that far) there is already invisable enemies and enemies with quad-turn. the only way to save anything is to bank it, but you have a RARE CHANCE of being allowed to even do so. so even if you temper a item and then take it with you again, there is no guarntee you will even be able to re-bank the item.
however the game is so ungodly hard there is a interesting feature, once per floor you can 'dodge' a game over. you can restart the floor as you entered it (except for your hunger meter). so you can do that constantly to try to avoid constant BS, but naturally, your allowed to 'dodge death' once per floor for a good reason, because the game is so very very sure it can kill you once per floor. (its worth noting that because food is only 'uncommon' and your hunger meter does not restore upon dodgeing death, that hunger can also become a very serious problem, very quickly if things start going south)
