currently playing it...holy crap the translation is bad, with cass prison dialogue it completely breaks appart. I'm surprised an LLM is so bad at translating honestly.
I just checked and you're right. For some reason, grok sometimes decided to skip verbs and nouns for no reason in this segment. I don't know why. I'll try to fix it.

Looks like all my saves are borked.

Oh well, guess I'm restarting from the beginning again. :HideThePain:

Please tell me at which events you have encountered this, and I will try to fix it.
My previous saves don't work so I'm restarting anyway.
I'll take screenshots of every parts that I find where translations were missed/not done so you can fix it.

Finished my first playthrough of the update. It was on my Isis save so I didn't get much action. However, the update was good. More lore heavy this time around. I'll just leave it at that for now. I got to get around to reworking this playthrough when I get the chance.

Now that I finished that one. I'll do my main next. By the way, I have no problems with my saves. As I'm typing this, my main and Isis saves are working fine. Just for clarity though. I don't use mods or anything while I play this game. Just the game and patch is about it.

Review of Imperial Chronicles
Imperial Chronicles is a game that definitely deserves attention, although it’s not without a few shortcomings.

What I liked:

  1. The plot. The story is well‑structured and engaging: it features intrigue, unexpected twists, and thoroughly developed key events. As you progress, you can feel the narrative evolving — it’s not just a series of missions for the sake of it. The plot keeps you hooked from start to finish.
  2. The characters. The heroes are vivid and memorable. Each has their own motivation, personality, and visual uniqueness. It’s great to see that the developers paid attention not only to the main characters but also to the supporting ones: even minor characters feel “alive” and avoid feeling generic.
  3. Visual style. The graphics and environment design are of a high standard. The level of detail in the surroundings, the animation, and the overall aesthetic create an atmosphere that immerses you in the game world. Cutscenes are particularly well done — they feel like mini‑films that enrich the storytelling.
What could be improved:

  1. Music. The main drawback is the clear lack of a soundtrack. In a game set in a historical era, where music could emphasize the drama of scenes or capture the spirit of the times, there’s barely any. Silence during key moments reduces the emotional impact. It would be great to see:
    • thematic melodies for different locations (e.g., majestic ones for palace halls, tense ones for battle scenes);
    • dynamic tracks during combat;
    • leitmotifs for the main characters.
Conclusion

Imperial Chronicles is a solid game with a strong plot, charismatic characters, and pleasing visuals. If the developers added a quality soundtrack, it would become nearly perfect. Nevertheless, even in its current state, it leaves a positive impression and is recommended for those who appreciate well‑crafted stories and atmospheric worlds.

Rating: 8/10 (with potential to rise to 10/10 after improving the audio component).
