This game is amazing. Why the fuck did it not get localized when Eternal Ring and King's Field 4 did?

>>	Anonymous Wed Nov 11 21:12:24 2020 No.7072794 This company has autism. Look at their release history; they've been recreating the exact same game over and over again for the past 25 years.

>>	Anonymous Thu Nov 12 04:04:53 2020 No.7073442 >>7073295 It's very self-contained, and the plot isn't a particularly large part of the game's appeal anyway. The original Shadow Tower is also a pretty good game, though.

>>	Anonymous Thu Nov 12 09:08:05 2020 No.7073919 >>7073078 I meant it in an endearing way. It's satisfying to see FromSoft's success and popularity after they spent so long working to refine their formula to perfection. It's somehow quintessentially Japanese.

>>	Anonymous Thu Nov 12 21:33:57 2020 No.7075691 >>7073295 Its fun and might help you break into their other titles

>>	Anonymous Fri Nov 13 02:06:31 2020 No.7076191 >>7073295 other than a certain waifu showing up in both, the two ST games aren't really connected. shadow tower is the superior game, though.
