Battle Rangers
Battle Rangers, also known as Bloody Wolf in Japan and Arcades, is a 2D run ‘n gun game relased by DataEast in 1988.
Although the game is not a text-heavy, 80-hour RPG, it is still plagued with localization errors that are hilariously baffling for anyone who comes across them.
You might think that with less text to translate, errors are less likely. That is not the case with Battle Rangers as nearly every text box you come across is riddled with confusing sentences and improper use of various words.
Nothing highlights these errors more than the final stage of the game where you take on the final boss, aptly named Boss, who vomits a constant stream of localization mistakes at you until he is defeated.
Although the errors are quite amusing, the game remains a shining example of how less text doesn’t necessarily mean fewer localization errors will occur when translating.
