Every language has its own quirks, nuances, and slang. As a Londoner, there are plenty of times I see a word in a game title or advert that makes me cringe because it means something embarrassing over here. Unfortunately for an Italian indie game on Steam called The Crazy Hyper-Dungeon Chronicles, it got localized to Shitty Dungeon in Japanese.
The Crazy Hyper-Dungeon Chronicles is an upcoming 2D dungeon-crawler with roguelite elements. As reported by Automaton, developer Fix-a-Bug – an ironic name, given the situation – announced an October 24, 2025 launch date for the game. But on August 8, Japanese gamers noticed the name Kuso Dungeon literally translated to shitty/crappy dungeon. Hopefully Steam's silly new rules don't flag it as NSFW and ban it from sale.
