Okay folks, this thread is dedicated to the use of Engrish in Knights in the Nightmare.

Let's start with the promo video, found on the KitN website:

"One night, the denizens of the abyss, led by Zovornak, emerged out of nowhere and slayed all the kings men..."

Pretty much the only thing I found in the whole thing is "slayed all the kings men" which sounds like engrish to me. Killed all the king's men? Massacred the king's men?

Certain dialog boxes: Touch the box. (Groan) Sometimes: Touch either box.
Other dialog box: Go Next. (argh)

One word: KILL

[A knight joins you]: Join In! (?)

[Before battle]Get ready! Engage!

[Get an item in battle]Item gotten!

Warrior:
[Activate]The warrior: Activated!

On turn result screen:
KILL OUT!

On scene result screen:
Drive Tech (?)

One enemy slots screen:
Touch the box to be defeated enemy

From Wikipedia:
QUOTE
Engrish refers to non-standard variations of English often found in East Asian countries.
There you have it.
Feel free to edit Wikipedia if you don't agree.

To me, non-standard=Engrish. There's standard English, like the first line in the promo video: "Somewhere between heaven and the underworld stood an ancient castle known as Avenheim." This is standard English, there are no problems with it.
