[News] Dokapon! Sword of Fury English Release Reveal

[@RiverOfTheHeart]

2:16 i love this line, it's such a quirky way to say it and gives you a strong idea of what this rabbit is like (assuming it's often this violent). The original line translated directly is much more dry and wouldn't leave much of an impression on players. I saw this line and immediately thought "oh that's good, fun rhyme". I have no idea what the intension was for this line in Japanese but it would surprise me if it wasn't supposed to be at least a little funny considering what kind of game this is.

That’s great news. It’s been Awhile since I talk about Dokapon games. It’s because I’m focusing on the Dark Cloud series. But great news.

Just 3 days ago I was checking if this was getting an English release, crazy to see this now

1:55 Cherokee cherry key lol and wiwi. Nice analysis

[@NuminousCat]

I'm really interested in who did the English translation for them / wrote the Steam Store description and runs Sting's newly created eX-twitter international account. Sting's previous Steam remake releases (Yggdra Union and Riviera) were definitely handled in-house, reusing Atlus old localizations (PSP). I don't think they have anyone fluent in English among their small 31-people staff (reported on their website) and some new/forgotten elements were clearly translated with machine translators or by someone with unsufficient English. On the other hand, Sword of Fury translation looks like a professional work (there's even some voice acting). I can't wait to see the credits on who did the translation. My guess is it might be some ~team related to Idea Factory/Compile Hearts with which Sting often cooperates. This announcement also gives some hope for Blaze Union and Gloria Union releases in English after all these years.

Looks like you can buy it in just a couple hours. Around 7 or 8 EST on the 21th.

NEW ENGLISH DOKAPON GAME WOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[@OvermasterP]

Thanks for skipping the usual intro because OH MY GOD SWORD OF FURY ON STEAM

[@nikoladedic6623]

Yeah, I honestly like when translators expand the translation when it would just be generic. As long as it isn't going overboard or outright changing it.

[@zigazav1]

[@micah0000]

LETS GOOOOOO!!!!!!

[@rossovivie]

NO FUCKING WAY??? NO WAYYYYYY!! ; - ;

[@kellysamuel3383]

I’ve only played Dokapon kingdom can you make a video explaining what sword of fury is about

[@danfengzhang2558]

I would recommend you to play for a full playthrough or two yourself but here are some key differences: -you pick a character and there are no jobs. I personally recommend Scop because he has AT focus and his skills are solid -instead of castles you have treasures which can boost your value

[@Kyllen]

this is quite the W 🤩

[@Professor_Utonium_]

How hard is it to just translate something? Like all you have to do is just not insert your shitty fanfic writing.

[@nikoladedic6623]

That's more difficult than it initially appears. It's easy to translate it literally as in line-for-line, but then you can risk it sounding unnatural and stilted.

[@Professor_Utonium_]

​@@nikoladedic66232:18 is a perfect example of what I'm getting at. You can make something sound natural without inserting some rhyme that honestly makes less sense than the original. It's "son of a submariner" all over again.
