===== Game Overview=====
Individual developer yugiri has released the English localised version of the classic simulation RPG Little Hearts, currently available on Steam, on Friday 22 December.

"Little Hearts" is a simulation RPG with 2D dot graphics and a simple, easy-to-understand system set in a fantasy world of swords and sorcery. It is designed in the image of the PlayStation and Game Boy Advance era, yet with a modern, easy-to-play, friendly system.

The game can be enjoyed by both simulation RPG beginners and experienced players, but until now it has only been released in Japanese, making it difficult for non-native Japanese speakers to play.
However, with the release of the English version, more users can now enjoy the game.
The game is also discounted during the current Steam Winter Sale, so this is a great opportunity to buy it.

=====Difficulty levels that can be selected after experiencing the  play feel.
The game offers two difficulty levels, "Normal" and "Hard," which you can select after you have played the game to some extent. Therefore, you can choose the difficulty based on your previous playing experience.

=====Fast and lively battle animations
The animation of the characters in combat is exhilarating, with crisp dot-drawings and attacks. The game also has a function that allows you to double the speed while pressing a button, so you can enjoy the animations without sacrificing the tempo of the game.

=====The story is not limited to good and evil, but is a story in which the thoughts and circumstances of both enemies and allies clash with each other.
Rather than defeating "evil" as "an existence to be defeated," the enemies have their own reasons for fighting, and of course the characters on the player's side have their own reasons for not being defeated. The characters on the player's side have episodes in their past that lead up to their current persona, which are told in the intervals between the main storylines to delve deeper into their characters' personalities.

=====BGM commissioned from "STEEL PLUS"; sound blends well with game graphics
The music for the game was created by "STEEL PLUS," known for "One Step From Eden" and "Maiden And Spell," who provided excellent music with soundtracks that match the game's graphics.

===== Localisation uses AI translation by "DeepL".
Translation from Japanese to English uses AI translation by "DeepL".
As much careful sentence-by-sentence translation as possible.
