Super Sentai Legend Wars for iOS
I recently started playing Super Sentai Legend Wars on iOS, and although there's a smattering of English in the game, the majority of the game's text is in Japanese.
I'm enjoying it, but since I can't yet read Japanese, a good portion of the game's mechanics are opaque to me. Some heroes have skills, for instance, but it's not clear to me what their effects are. There are also red and yellow "gems" the player can acquire that provide active abilities and passive bonuses respectively, but their text is also fully Japanese, so I rarely know what they do unless it's super-obvious. Is anyone else playing this? If so, have you found any translation resources or English gameplay information other than the thread on that other Sentai-related message board? Alternatively, do you have any good strategies for ad-hoc usage of Google Translate when you can't actually select the text in question? Also, I'd be happy to share what I *have* learned about the game, so if anyone else would find it useful, please let me know. * - As an aside: when I was trying to find a way to get my hands on Kamen Rider Atsume, I ran into a brick wall, but when I researched Super Sentai Legend Wars, I finally stumbled upon a resource on creating a Japanese account with Apple in order to download from the Japanese store. I can share if anyone's interested, but I'm hesitant to post anything about it to this thread unless I get a thumbs-up from our moderators. (Basically, I don't want to accidentally violate forum rules.) |
I've been playing since launch, but on Android. We get to avoid all that making a Japanese account nonsense. I was happy to grab SS:LW since Kamen Rider Storm/Transcend Heroes went right down the crapper. As far as I have found that thread on the other site is the only resource for the game's english language players.
As far as Google Translate goes, if I need to translate something and someone over there hasn't done it already I just screenshot it and then use the GT app. You have to be careful, though, to only select the text you want. If you highlight a whole mess of text, the OCR translation function gets a bit wonky. Granted, as a machine translation it has its issues even when you highlight perfectly. It's good for gem translation, though. |

There's a Google Translate app? I'll try it out. (I'd been worried about multitasking with my older iPad since it already has trouble with the game, but it just occurred to me that I can use my phone for the translation.) |

The GT app has been pretty helpful for me with the gems, both with figuring out what they do and with how to get them. When you look at them in their section the text overlay is where to find them. Most of them are from the team specific events, though. Some of the red ones unlock for purchase when you hit a certain hero power level. (The Hurricaneger one I want is 30,000! Madness!) I was glad when they added that text. The app also helped me figure out the daily goals so I wasn't missing any. Hopefully this thread can get a few more people interested. For potential Android players, QooApp is your friend. It allows you to search for, install, and update apps (mostly Japanese, but there are some Korean games there) without having to register a Japanese account. You can link a US Google Play account to make microtransaction purchases after the app is installed. Joooooooin ussssss! |
And ZOMG, the Valentine's event. I'm more than happy that there are pink legend cards, now.
Also: UGH Kyoryuger. Apparently, you can't get the team bonus without the original five. What's the point of even having Silver, Gray, Cyan, and Violet in the game, then? |

As I'm not a fan of the show, I doubt I will ever use them. I might as well have pulled blank cards. Two useful cards out of 33. I'm going back to get more, though. I may have missed out on Gokai Christmas but that Legend Gokai Pink will be mine. Oh yes, it will be. Edit: I just pulled the Legend Wolzard Fire from the pyramid coin shop. It's not Gokai Pink, but it's a darned nice card I'll get some use out of. |
Nice! That Wolzard Fire is pretty sought-after. When you pulled the cards you'd maxed, did you at least get any tokens from it? The only team I (so far; I'm still not that familiar with pre-Hurricaneger Sentai) think I'd be actively averse to using would be Ninninger. If I could share my love of Kyoryuger with you, I would. Alas!
I've seen a couple of things (I've been trying to make my way through non-English information on the game) that might indicate that certain extra heroes like Wolzard Fire can (or at least could at one point) sub in for a core member for purposes of the team bonus, but can't confirm it. If so, I expect Kyuranger might work like that, with any five gaining the bonus. On the other hand, they could make Kyuranger the first team to require six heroes for the team bonus. I really wish Kyoryuger worked like that, but as it is, I just can't justify using the heroes beyond the sixth, which is sad, since that's most of my Rare Kyoryugers. At any rate, it's nice that they've handed us something that's a direct affirmation of their plans to add Kyuranger to the game, although I kinda hope they'll delay long enough to get little details right. Also, having never watched Gorenger... Heh! When I first summoned and noticed the tiny heart earrings on Momorenger (Momoranger?), I thought, "Oh, wow, that's sexist," for a fractional second before she pulled one off and blew up Gokai Silver with it. I mean, it's still sexist (I'm reminded of Aphrodite-A's breast missiles,) but the juxtaposition amused me. I also just managed to hit 1500 hero power, so Hero Kirenger showed up in the store for... Wow. That's a LOT of V-Mana. Guh. Much as I want another crack at the Pink Pack, I think my priority now is to save up 800 V-Gems in preparation for the next buy-2-get-1 deal. I'm just loving that I now have more than four Sentai that I can reasonably use. |
Congrats on the 1500 Hero Power! Nice score. I was so frustrated saving up for that Kirenger. Luckily, when red gems start populating in there for sale they only run about 50k instead of 200k.
I've only seen a couple of episodes of Gorenger and I'd forgotten about the earrings. (I have a pretty small phone screen and bad eyes.) FiveYellow and FivePink have them, too. I expect she'll turn up in the LegendFest pack at the end of the month, but I still took another crack at Gokai Pink today. I can handily say it was the worst pack I've ever gotten. 7 out of 10 cards were maxed out duplicate Gokai Blue and Greens. Sadly, eventually you stop getting things in return for packing duplicate cards. I've never paid attention to exactly where the cutoff is, but I'm long past it on those two. :cry |
Huh. I hadn't noticed your most recent post, here.
Something that just came up in chat (surprisingly, there were a few people chatting in English) was to switch to channel 5 for English chat. Hm. Sorry about the frustrating pull! Do you at least get Rare coins when pulling duplicates like that? I finally hit 2,000 hero power, which apparently unlocks Hurricaneger, Boukenger, Magiranger, and Shinkenger. |

Congrats on hitting 2,000 HP! You'll start picking up steam, soon. As I recall it was around there where I stopped feeling quite so tight on my white Vs and I found the events easier to manage. Hopefully you keep that momentum you've got going. I'm just about to hit the next mark myself. (Actually, I hit 6,017 while I was typing this. A yellow ToQger gem for 15k, not too shabby. If only I had more than one ToQger above normal/normal+!) How are you doing in the Gokaiger/Gorenger events? Even my terrible luck at store pulls isn't frustrating me as much as the hard Abyss level. It's at the point where I'm no longer feeling challenged and I'm just getting pissed off. It isn't so much that the level is hard, it's that I keep getting screwed on my card pulls in the clutch and I'm missing killing the last guy by a second or two. As a completionist, I'm really feeling the need to be able to score those gems. Silly, but true. :D |
