After 5 years of work, Sony's cult classic PS1 JRPG trilogy is now fully playable in English as the roguelike spin-off finally gets its fan translation patch

PopoRogue.

The PS1 library is a treasure trove of wildly ambitious and unique games, and doubly so if you count the platform's Japanese library. One particularly big highlight is PopoloCrois, a series of adorable JRPGs published by Sony itself. Now, after five years of work from fan translators, the entire PS1 PopoloCrois trilogy is finally playable in English.

PopoloCrois has an odd history, originating as a manga series in the '70s, the rights to which were eventually sold to Sony. It then became a PS1 game, telling the story of a 10-year-old boy trying to get his comatose mother's soul out of the underworld in the format of a traditional JRPG. Its biggest claim to fame is its absolutely gorgeous art and animation, which is still some of the most adorable stuff you'll see in a video game.
