Thanks to TapamN, who previously brought us a whole slew of helpful VGA patches, comes an English translation of the shoot 'em up Under Defeat.
Under Defeat was what we in the West would call a "late release" for the Dreamcast. Considering the Dreamcast was cancelled in 2001, it's mindboggling to acknowledge that over in Japan, games like this one were still coming out for many years. This one even came late enough to be acknowledged on this very blog upon release!
Developed by G.rev, Under Defeat has been praised for its smooth controls and challenging but fun gameplay. Most notably, however, are its excellent graphics: with attractive 3D throughout, the level of detail on display in this game is astonishing. It's not one for genre fans to overlook, and now with TapamN's translation patch, English Dreamcast fans can now have some insight into the game’s plot too.

Under Defeat still plays really well to this day and is always a joy to boot up once in a while. Even got a physical HD copy for XBox360 but find myself returning to the Dreamcast version just because I can :)
Not so bothered about a translation for this one though, it was always about the beefy destruction and intuitive gameplay. In fact, never really thought twice about the 'story' and much of the text was already in english..
Thanks for the translated copy, always fun to revisit but umm maybe someone can translate Eldorado Gate for me please :)
