Kancolle Kai English patch updated to 0.3, tons of stuff translated
Here is one I didn’t expect to write about ever again, since the project seemed to have been abandoned. Thankfully, developer JeyEmill and his team have finally returned with a new version of their translation patch for the PS Vita game Kancolle Kai!
The last version of this patch was pretty good but while many people were able to enjoy it, I wasn’t. There was a ton of stuff that went untranslated that to me seemed essential to the gameplay that I couldn’t understand. That’s perfectly okay and I could have googled around but I decided to wait it out instead. Finally my patience pays off and version 0.3 of the English patch for this game is out. This is a pretty major and thorough update too. Hopefully the game will be much more playable now!
What is Kancolle Kai?
Kancolle (short for Kantai Collection) is a very popular Japanese browser game developed by Kadokawa Games. It is a “fleet-raising” game where you collect girls who are human versions of World War II naval warships. You send them out on missions, have battles to grind experience, craft tons of upgrades along with many other things. The game was a success in Japan which saw it eventually ported to the PS Vita. However, this being a very Japanese type of game, it never saw a Western release. Now, thanks to Vita translators, we get to enjoy this game too!
