Gurumin: A Monstrous Adventure is an action JRPG by Nihon Falcom originally released in Japan exclusively for Windows in 2004. It was later ported to PlayStation Portable in 2006 with five additional costumes, a minor content alteration and English localization for the Western market.
The game was rereleased digitally on Steam and GOG.com by Mastiff in 2015. This rerelease is based on the original Windows version and as such additional costumes from the 2006 PlayStation Portable version are missing while the slight content alteration made for the Western console release has been introduced (but can be restored). It features the English localization, which suffers from various translation and spelling errors that can be fixed, for the first time on PC at the cost of the Japanese dub being removed. Gameplay is internally locked to 30 FPS even though the UI is rendered at 60 FPS.
