Translation description

The Light of Indra is an RPG that mixes Dragon Quest-like turn-based combat with Legend of Zelda like exploration.

It is about a planet Ival which was run by a god name Byrn. But Ival fell into evil once Byrn fell asleep.
For being a very early console RPG (and maybe one of the earliest on the Famicom with backup RAM saving), its story is a little strange.

This is a beta patch. It should be fully playable but the author is uncertain about some translations, particularly the enemy/spell names.

I finished Indora no Hikari using this translation and didn't find any errors. Well, the Dragon Quest NES font gives a somewhat awkward sensation, but in all other aspects I am happy.
