Every time I see this thread bumped, I hope the Soul Hackers translation is finally done. Every time, I am disappointed.

Does the existence of guns make the game as retarded as you'd expect it to?
Also, is the interface bearable? I really hate navigating millions of menus and stat screens without a mouse.

Unfortunately, I haven't yet had the time to give the game a go, and I probably won't in the nearest future. Damn workload. And from the looks of it, spekkio-kun didn't manage to get very far into the game. 
Judging from what I've read about ST:A, though, the consensus is that guns are implemented fairly well. The difficulty is supposed to be lower than in the original Shadow Tower, but the exploration and atmosphere, i.e., what made the original Shadow Tower so fucking brilliant, are supposed to have been made even better and more varied -- now you crawl through poisonous swamp pits, scenic areas, and other kind of thingies.
Damn, I want to play this game so much.
Shadow Tower is probably in my top 5 RPGs, and this one looks like a blast as well.

Sistah, do you think Shadow Tower (1) would be a good mindfuckery tool to recover from a horrible, horrible day at work?
I mean like, pop a vein in my head or something?

Dunno, it's a very individual thing, really. The game's slow and surreal, so if that's your kind of thing, then yes, for sure.
Mmm, slow and surreal might be just the thing. Will try.

I'm curious about that one because if I'm not mistaken it is from another company than Recettear and Chantelise, but I guess that there must be a reason why Carpe Fulgur decided to pick that project up.
That's pretty cool. Thanks for the heads up!
I'm in love with this game already!
It's basically a 2D action RPG/platformer hybrid that has you play a sword-wielding little girl. There are even combos of a sort, if only a limited amount of them. From what I've gathered, I'll get to use magic too as soon as I lay my hands on an elemental stone. The controls are a bit clunky, but not too much, or maybe I'm just not used to them yet.
I recommend everyone gives the demo a try, at least.

Oooh there are even some basic character-switching platformer puzzles!

Not my cup of tea. Pass.
Which is a damn shame because it's from the makers of Reccetear. Still.

Ugh, this vile skeleton bastard was giving me one hell of a trouble... Killed off my sis... He's just so fast.
I did manage to bring him down though. But of course!
With that, I've beaten the demo. Looks like I'll have to buy the full game now! So much fun.

Heh, didn't even try the demo and decided to buy it out of trust. Carpe Fulgur had the good idea to bring Recettear and Chantelise, which are two good games, so I just trust that if they go out of their way to get the rights of FS, translate it and then publish it, there is a reason. By the way, the developper for Fortune Summoners is Lizsoft, not Easy Game Station — makes of Recettear and Chantelise.
Aroduc has finished translating... something.

Totally worth beating him up online.

Actual game review from Aroduc
Some short read:
...
Some short read:
...
In the alchemist city of Yuidora, Wilfred manages to pass his final exam and open a workshop of his own. Soon after, a mysterious foreign swordswoman from a foreign land appears at his door and demands that he reforge and restore the magic in her sword. With the means unknown to any in the city and the cost prohibitive, he strikes a deal with the girl, Yuela, that she’ll be his escort when he goes out to collect materials and he’ll find a way to reforge her sword. Wil soon also befriends Emiritta, an energetic mage, and Selawi, a hippie elf, as well as any number of elemental spirits that all join his workshop, and also encounters a mysterious reaper that has both a connection to his parents’ death as well as Yuela.
If the above setup reminded you of one of Gust’s Atelier games, then you’re not far off, particularly Atelier Iris 3, right down to playing Pretty Princess Dressup. Kamidori is Eushully’s latest game and the spiritual successor to Himegari, but contains a much stronger focus on item creation and a much weaker focus on the protagonist raping everything with four or fewer legs, which was not exactly an appealing part of Himegari for me. On the other hand, if not for all the elementals pinning Wil down to… uh… deepen the bond between spirits and humans… I would be questioning his interest in females at all. He does seem to have an apparently insatiable urge to knit frilly dresses...
Install three patches correctly and fully to the game original, then install the patch.
