Decided to finally play the Deltora Quest DS game despite not reading a lick of japanese. I suppose it's to be expected since I can't read the dialogue but the experience is kinda just...nothing? It's one of those early DS games you control solely with the stylus so it's kind of annoying to navigate, and the combat is never really any more complex than just tapping the enemies and moving out the way of attacks. Though that simplicity, totally linear level design and short length means I've been able to play it even without understanding the text so...eh. I guess if nothing else it's interesting to see as someone who loved the books as a child, and it's got a nice Hitoshi Sakimoto soundtrack.
