No Rest for the Wicked creative director puts most of the ARPG's poor reviews down to a localization bug that stopped a lot of Chinese and Japanese text from showing

No Rest for the Wicked.

Highly anticipated action RPG No Rest for the Wicked has launched into early access with a 'Mixed' verdict on Steam, but according to creative director Thomas Mahler, this is largely thanks to a localization bug that broke a lot of Chinese and Japanese text.

Moon Studios' No Rest for the Wicked was met with some seriously high praise from former Blizzard boss Mike Ybarra when it released, with him going as far to say that its "bold direction" is "exactly where the ARPG genre needs to go to stay relevant." With that in mind, you'd expect a few more positive reviews, but Mahler claims that "the majority of our mixed reviews on Steam come from our Chinese fans" who've been struggling with a major bug.
