KanColle-English-Patch-KCCP VS KC3Kai

EN Patch

Not really, but it's still 100% playable. There's a fanmade English patch which I've heard is pretty damn good. That said, it's 100 playable without. The UI has a decent bit of icons/English depending on settings, so it's not to hard to figure out. The wiki is great and updated faster than the AL one. I knew jack shit Japanese when I started playing way back when (like 1 semester's worth), and it didn't take long to figure out the basic controls. You do need some kind of VPN for the initial sign up, but after that you can handle it with something like KC3Kai which also keeps track of quests, battles, drops, etc. It's just a Chrome extension, and it helps a lot. On mobile, you can use Gotobrowser to play, tho at least personally I prefer KC3Kai.

KanColle English Patch

Outside of registering, yeah there's an fanmade English patch for it. GotoBrowser is an Android app for the game that works great, dodges the VPN requirement, and also has an English mode. Personally, I use KC3Kai, which is a Chrome extension. It makes actual gameplay a lot easier and basically counts as a VPN. It's super handy, and I'm 100% not biased because I've got it open in another tab as I type this.

I don't even know how he managed to get the text alone from the KanColle English Patch logo, did he cut it out?

You can check out more screenshots in the Imgur Album. If you're interested in using or contributing to the mod, and keeping your local copy of the patch up-to-date, feel free to join the Discord Server and check out the GitHub Page as well. In the Discord, you will also find a guide to start the game using GotoBrowser + Kcanotify, an early game walkthrough and some useful resources.

To add on bwm's insightful comment, I'd suggest popping in The Weekly Admiral Lounge for more help, as well as The Official Kancolle Subreddit Discord. You can eventually join my server as well, which contains instructions to install an English Patch if you feel like it, but more importantly a whole bunch of new or returning players like you who found out about the patch by accident.

If you are worry about the language, there is an EN patch that you can install to easy your experience with the UI, more info about the patch itself along with updates in their discord

There you go, for more info on the EN patch here is the discord server of the developer team

KC3Kai has got an experimental region block bypass. May come in handy.
