The in-game text is only in English right now. It could be localized in the future, but that has not yet happened. A lot of the game is icon and number based though, I don't think you would need much English to be able to play.

Nice response, well done to all. Btw, if you consider the price steep, frankly, you should have seen the work and dedication the designer put in to this product. Holy Smokes, the man ( and team) worked their asses off.
I can attest personally, it is a fine, well thought-out 4x space-based game.
Nuff said..
Enjoy

Hello.

I'm a grizzled veteran of 4X Space games, there aren't too many over the last 25 years that I haven't tried.

The first time I noticed Distant Worlds was on Blue's News about ten days ago.

I purchased Distant Worlds a couple of days ago and have looked through the manual and tried the tutorial. I will wait for the v1.0.3 update before I start up a new game.

Looking forward to playing this great looking game.

Cheers.

Bob
