There are improvements to be made
Hello Koei, I hope you get to read my comments!
The first time I played RTK2 was around 1992, the Super Nintendo version basically costed like $100+. It was worth it because I played the game over and over.
This iPhone port is nice and mostly faithful to the original. Koei cut out the tedious part of buying weapons, and there is also simplification for domestic government activities. I think thats nice because those were just tedious and I wouldve not wanted to spend extra time to manage those in a mobile environment.
As a passionate player for this game, I do have some suggestions.
Would KOEI be at least able to improve Lu Beis music? Lu Beis music is missing 2nd half from the original game, and 8 seconds of music is basically repeating over and over.... Please refer to the original version and improve the arrangement music to include it. Its just 8 seconds of repetitive music is not very pleasant. Please, KOEI QA team, play this with 8 second music on and on! You will get crazy soon!!!
Quality of localization is not very high. There are phrases like "Would you like to end the turn without doing anything?". But this is a misleading phrase, since the player always gets this message, even if the play has done some activities. KOEI may want to give another round of localization review process.....
Also, if retina display support could be added, thats great. There is a lot of text in RTK, so retina display should add a lot of usability.
Otherwise, this is an enjoyable game. The price may seem high, but I bought this game in 1992 for SNES for more than $100, I guess KOEI price is still on the higher end, but at least.... its no longer $100.
Good start, but please make improvements as mentioned above, and I will come back with 5 stars.
