The English translation is awful. It's completely disjointed from what's being said by the character in Japanese, and uses very out-of-date, unironically cringe words that only 40 year old millennials think is "hip". Since this game relies heavily on internet culture, it's absolutely essential to get the terminology/slang right. And nothing that they're saying in Japanese warrants the amount of slang they're using …

The game's localization is being fixed after a lot of backlash. Unfortunately, it seems the dev was not aware of how vandalized it was. I'm glad that the dev is actively working to make this game better. Gameplay-wise, I don't have any complains! Beatmaps are fun, and the dialogue and endings are really funny. The story is actually really cute too! Small edit: The devs are still working on fixing the localization, …

It had such a long hype period, but the final product’s quality is kinda mid. The rhythm parts r too easy for rhythm game vets, n the plot’s a bit messy. but im a casual player, n the art style hits my taste perfectly, so im glad to leave a positive review. The song list’s actually top tier lots of famous creators, plus tracks from musedash n touhou project, total banger lineup.

This is THE definitive rhythm game. The controls are smooth and responsive, the characters are great, the song choices are beyond comparison. I feel like someone followed my specific taste in music and humor and built an entire game dedicated to it. It's impossible to recommend this game any more than I do. I've never felt this seen by a project. Incredible price, incredible gameplay, incredible song choice. The …

If Yunyun SENDS, I RECEIVE If Yunyun has a million fans, I am one of them. If Yunyun has ten fans, I am one of them. If Yunyun has only one fan, that is me.

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The English "localization" for this game has been completely butchered BEYOND RECOGNITION compared to all of the other language translations of the game. How do I know, you ask? Because I (and many others) have looked through the game's language/script files and found HORRENDOUS stuff. A few examples: The line "Yamero" (literal translation: "stop" or "stop it") has been replaced with "END FASCISM!", The line "Ryō noroi de shibaranaikara" (literal translation: "I won't bind you with a Command…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →the people/group that handle the English translation completely misses the point of the game this game is a tribute/homage to late 2000s~early 2010s otaku culture, especially surrounding niconico douga and what did these translators do? splurge genz zoomer speech everywhere and straight up mistranslations literally boot up the game and you will get a sentence that says "how about turn your head around 360 degrees" and if you play it in English you are greeted with "how about a 360 no scope"…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Going to be honest the game is fun but the English translation is just horrible. There are sections that are spoken in english and the translation will still be wrong. One section you can clearly hear yunyun mention IT specialists and what do they translate IT specialist into, They translate it as "Tech bros" how the hell did you hear IT specialist and decide nah we're gonna go with tech bros. I really would implore the devs to drop the current localization team and fully redo the english…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Great game. Genuinely fantastic. Love it to bits. Probably the single worst localization I've ever seen in my life. And this is after they fixed the even worse one they had at launch. I'm not saying this from the point of view of a chud who gets mad at the mention of anyone who looks like they live in a different zip code - The localization adds unfitting and flat out incorrectly used tiktok and zoomer slang. This wouldn't be that bad a problem were it not for the fact that the original text is…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Extremely disappointed with the localization. This was my most anticipated game of the year since it looked to be a genuine love letter to denpa and otaku culture, yet the translation erases what makes the original script special. The only way the English version of the game could ever be playable is if they let another team that will actually stay faithful to the original localize it. Please find another team that actually cares about delivering a genuine product, because this feels like such…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The English "localization" of the game is a sabotaged mess. It's maliciously mistranslated to the point that it injects political slogans and phrasing into places where there were none, shoves in tons of modern slang when it's meant to be anachronistic, misses blatant 00's anime and game references, and changes staple niconico emoticons, all in a game that's supposed to be celebrating 2000s Japanese otaku culture. The game itself is cute and the gameplay is simple albeit fun, but unless you…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Please, for the love of all that is holy, fix the god awful localization. The game is great otherwise, but the English "localization" is really off-putting and ruins the integrity of the original message. As for a review of the game itself. The overall style of the game absolutely slaps and the story is alright. The Denpa song selection has me feeling very nostalgic with a lot of my favorite classic Touhou, Rish, Nanahira, and old denpa music of yore. Although the nostalgia does make me feel…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I was excited to try this - the art, music are all wonderful. But my God in heaven, not even an hour in and I can not stand the dialogue. I can't help but compare something like this to Steins;Gate (the original VN) which captures that early internet vibe very well - the translation team obviously put a lot of work into it. But this game? Millenial slop. Plain and simple. Whoever worked on this is so obviously out of touch and biased against the sort of culture that would lead to a game like…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Cute game and cute design, but an awful translation. Even though the game itself is good, I can't recommend it at the moment. The localization is very bad. many parts are inaccurate, some sentences have had their entire structure changed, and others include unnecessary words.

I was going to leave a negative review but they're already fixing the english translation, I'm so happy ♥ The game is fully voiced too!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Song choices, production, animation, voice acting, producers, etc. SSS+. I have been very excited for this game for over a year and truly love it. However, the English translation feels cheaply done with lack of detail considered. I didn't want to believe it from the screenshots I saw, but it was noticeable even within the first few minutes of the game. Small things like "おじさん構文 (old man talk/speech) being translated to "australian english" makes no sense. A fun way to convey this would have…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Fun game localisation is still super vandalised to the point where I'm cringing at the text and skipping it all, dialogue is important, and not 100% fixing it hurts
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game proves why Toby Fox was ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ right when he said his vision would be compromised if he entrusted the work to someone without personally knowing the target language properly This problem was visible from the demo, and in the full game, it wasn't fixed but rather worsened exponentially.. The English localization isn't just inaccurate, it's a absolute destruction of the original script, a desecration, and something that only fits the level of out-of-character fanfic or a lunatic comedy…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The translation and language is plagued by hakujin women type stuff. Colonialism is okay, as long as everything is apart of their values. It is strange that this localization is done by supposed Japan lovers when they immediately want to overwrite and take over their media and their country. Absolutely depriving their designers and artists of any autonomy or freedoms. If you read this, leave comments about it on their discussion forums to cull their localization team and forcefully redo it.…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →GOOD GAME and COOL OST. PLZ stop hiring translators from California. THX.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →YUNYUN SPEAKS, AND I LISTEN!!! (except in English) Seriously, the game is super good, but do yourself a service and play in ANY language other than English. You know those videos of stuff being put through google translate 1000 times? That's pretty much how far off the English TL is from the source. The localizer(s?) have zero respect for the source material and are straight up just throwing it out the window to write whatever they want. It's not "matches the vibe and is supposed to be…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A brutally honest opinion on Yunyun Syndrome!? Rhythm Psychosis I think I don’t hate localizers enough. Let them rot. The market is already flooded with rhythm games anyway. Right now, I'm so f*cking pissed I want to punch someone in the face. I want to punch them right through the LAN cable. If anyone tries to play devil's advocate and defend this, I’ll punch them too. Think about it, this is probably the first game that has ever completely called out to me, the old tardy otaku, and catered…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The game's English translation is Anachronistic - it uses terms out of place in the time period the game takes place in ("Bro really said that") Full of mistakes - the game confused influencer and influenza due to misreading サ and ザ Erases easily understandable cultural references which WOULD be legible to your average English fan (Fate/Stay Night, Rance) Just straight up bizarre - who translates YAMERO as END FASCISM? I'm not totally against localisation, I think…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Localizers should not be fanfic writers, if you're playing in English and care for the culture and references that a game is paying homage to then you're completely missing out on the core experience. That aside, the incessant amounts of Gen Z lingo is too annoying and breaks immersion. Game's functional and music list is what you expect from a game that celebrates denpa music from the turn of the millennium, but supporting another game ruined by slop localization is not worth the time or money…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →the concept of localization should have a restraining order against every zoomer, never let them cook again.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Game Dev literally started to undo then redo English Translations the moment they discovered that translators abused their power to change the games narrative. Based far as I am concerned . On the game end of things? Yeah. That start up animation, and game itself is just fun. If I had a single complaint it would be music selection. Its not bad music per say, its just nothing I would be humming at random while doing something else...Though...they game does have True My Heart and its one i've…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Short game but well worth it on a sale. Remember to use a fan made English translation unless you want to die from cringe.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Good Game, Bad English Localization. Edit (27 April) : Devs have made steps to fix the localization, however they still don't really go far enough. For now if you want to play either play in a different language, or look for a Fan translation.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Decent game that may appeal to a very particular type of people, unfortunately those people (unless they are proficient enough in Japanese) will be detered by still awfull translation. Fanmade MTL patch does way better job than whatever bozos that robbed the devs for what they would call"translation" and any sane person with working eyes and working ears will call "completely made-up random words that have nothing to do with the original japanese script", to put it lightly
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The English translation is awful and the English localization company should be changed. They don't respect the source material and use game to bring their own ideas into it.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Gameplay is a 10/10 English translation make it 0/10 Full of nonsensical garbage made by a millenial who clearly doesnt care about doing their job at the bare minimum right, will consider buying again if its fixed or a fan patch is available but as of now this is an easy skip
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Translations are mostly fixed now, great game, definitely recommend it, sad it was sabotaged as it were. Big props to Who You for listening, hope they go through and "fix" Drunken Goddess Reflux before it releases
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I give a negative review for the poor english community that got a MALICIOUSLY INTENTIONAL bad translation. Italian translation is good. On a side note, the first half of the game is pretty good, the second half is extremely boring. If you didn't buy all the dlc songs you are forced to farm already played songs (use the autoplay cheat to do it idle) 3+ hours of farming in a single player indie game just to see the REAL true ending? Or to have some clues to what's going on? Really? Edit: The…

I love her so much that it is inexplicable, and I'm ninety-nine percent sure that I have an unhealthy obsession. I will never get tired of listening that sweet, angelic voice of hers. It is my life goal to meet up with her in real life and just say hello to her. I fall asleep at night dreaming of her holding a personal concert for me, and then she would be sorry tired that she comes and cuddles up to me while we sleep…

Sadly, the English version of the game is ruined by bad localization, which is why I can't recommend it. I have been following the game for a while, playing the demo since its release, participating in Discord, submitting bug reports and translation feedback to the developers, etc. and have bought the Complete Edition day 1. I was under the impression that the…

I always see some people say how "localization is good!/you don't actually understand it and just want be against us!/always the weebs with problems with localization" (mainly on twitter), but answer me, how is it that english is the only language that the translations are so different from the original? How did やめろ (yamero) go from "stop it" to "END…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The worst English translation I have seen in years. Fire the localizers and just put it in Google translate. The script could not possibly be more butchered. Refunded.

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Great game, but you can tell the English localization is gutted and says completely different things. Will change if it is restored. I like the songs, art and everything, but it feels bad knowing you are given a fake product.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I purchased this as a fan of rhythm games and was thoroughly disappointed. Never in my life did I think that a rhythm game would be played on a second monitor while I worked on a spreadsheet. There is simultaneously so much grinding to increase meters and progress the story, and so little to grind with. With only 30 or so songs in the base game, you will end up replaying the same things over and over again. This might've be okay, but the rhythm game portion does not have enough depth or…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The English "localisation" of this game is so horrendous I had to refund it. What was supposed to be a love letter to otaku culture is just a collection of cringe-inducing Internet slang. I might buy it again if the English text ever gets redone from scratch, but for now, it's a no from me.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Very Great Game! I love the music, artstyle and overall mood of the game. The English Localization is absolute dogwater though. Please, please, please. Let the localization team bebankrupt or something. Even fan translations would be a hundred times better. Don't let them touch any japanese media ever again.

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I'm making this review from the perspective a person who never really played rhytm games and who's not the target audience (I'm not familiar with most of the songs and I never played denpa games). Initially I started playing this game as a fan of the other game from the same studio - Needy Streamer Overload, plus I really liked it artstyle, OST and general vibe. And the game still delivers in this regard, it's very nice to look at and hear. Same goes for the rhytm part: it's simple, but…

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Alot of potential but its all wasted by a horrendous "translation". I gave them the benefit of the doubt iwth the demo and expected some fixes before launch because of how much backlash they received over the "translation" (which is more rewrite localization than a real translation). The developers knew this was going to be a problem and yet kept their translator and translation anyways. The script is full of bad translation and modern Gen-Z'isms that don't have a place in a game that is…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →TL;DR: Could maybe recommend for casual rhythm game players but not for experienced/hardcore ones. The art direction, animation, content, and music are all fantastic but the game in my experience suffers from performance problems, note timing issues, and poor UI/UX, all of which remain mostly unchanged from the demo version. Yunyun Syndrome feels like the developers thought the concept would be able to carry the corpse of a half-assed rhythm game, which is just frustrating to see.…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Alright, this is work of art. It perfectly encapsulates a very distinct way of looking at the world, and the feeling that comes with it. Something that quietly reached a maximum intensity before the internet became mainstream. Qchan is our inner child. When we think of this concept of "inner child" we see some kid frolicking in the woods or eating ice cream at a theme park or something. But in reality we as children watched the world through the lens of social media. And all things…

It's a hard recommend if you're not into rhythm games already. The base game has a very small song list meaning that if you didn't invest into the DLC you're gonna be grinding the same small pool of songs over and over to get all endings. It got to a point were instead of playing the game i had the auto keyboard active and started doing something else as i was grinding. Seriously, at the…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Never played a rhythm game before but I've found this to be easy to get into and fairly forgiving. I like the songs, the presentation is generally fun, but many of the elements have not been properly explained at all. While I don't mind being left to figure things out, two hours into the game 2/3 stats seemed to be arbitrary (I later found out they weren't online, not from the game). Again, not a huge issue but I feel its fairly important to explain why the stats matter beyond meeting goals to…

(English mind you, I have no clue on any other language, so please consider that): What are we doing here? When did we start inserting an agenda into other peoples work? This is actually an insult. I'm not refunding because I like the Dev and believe they are going to try and bring the original vision back to the EN script.
