Spanish translation (or why not to use google translator)
It makes me want to just quit the game.

It's very ovbious that the devs just used google translator for this game. I just typed "start game" in google translator and it effectively translates it as "abrir el partido" which doesn't make any sense. I don't even get why start is translated to "abrir" (= open). Game can mean "partido" (= match), but it's not the case in this context. And there I stopped caring about the game... well, if it weren't for the playfire rewards.

Ok, so I start the game and I get this:

"Correr para el hogar
El vórtice de salida está abierta, así que conseguir out puede ser fácil. Pero usted tendrá que coger tantas cosas como usted puede obtener se recompensa"

So I guess this is some kind of cypher text or something? What do I need to decrypt it?

So tip to devs: don't use google translator. It's better to just keep the game English only, because a translation like this is completely unintelligible and gives a very bad feeling about the devs (it looks that they just made this so they can put in the store page that the game is in Spanish and get extra sales from people that can't read English, when in fact those people won't understand a single word of this).

I would be glad to fix the Spanish translation, for FREE. I don't want more people having to deal with this again. Some people may even get offended, just read the reviews. Devs contact me if you are interested.

Yeah, it's the same mess with the german (and I guess all) translation(s)^^

Also the Italian translation is totally messed up.

This game has one of the worst Spanish translations I've ever read, even worst than "Heavy Fire: Afghanistan" where the developers used Google Translate... The texts here don't make any sense :cgrazz:

Sorry about the rubbish translations. We tried to put in as many as possible and didnt realise google translate was so bad (this is our first game multi language). We had the french redone by a steam user who was fantastic so in future we might well ask the steam community for help. We tried reddit and didn't get anywhere.

WTF you didn't know google translator is bad? WTF is wrong with you? You should remove the language-options

The german translation is pretty good - and with good i mean i am laughing my ass of at how bad it is. That aside the game is kinda fun.
