Dungeon Explorer 1/2 Jap language barrier?

[buckrogers]

Are the Jap versions playable despite the language barrier?

I only have a Jap PC engine, and the US version of DE2 is hard to come by, while I can easily get a Jap copy.

I got the japanese Dungoen explorer 1.
I think you can play it with a walkthrough but i havent tried that out yet

thankfully I have a US DE2 I can say there isn't a lot of text in the actual game. You could reference a FAQ every now and then and be fine. great game by the way....both 1 and 2.

No problem.

Although you can still get temporarily stuck in the english version, but a language barrier won't be affected by that, and if anything, relying on instincts will work better than lousy directions.

Plus its worth it just for the harsh-killer soundtrack.
