* VerbalTic: Orubia addresses every other girl as "Sis X", and Ryle as "Dear Ryle", both of which probably are translations of Japanese terms. Also, for reasons best known to himself, Hayami always refers to herself as "Sessha" (Japanese for "I") in the English translation.

The story is set in a world that, 20 years earlier, had faced the attack of a [[BigBad world-destroying monster]] known as CHAOS. CHAOS was defeated by Flare Delstar, a "Sacred Dragoon", and the world had enjoyed peace since then. As the actual game begins, you play the role of Ryle Laster, a young man from the small village of Lavas, who has completed his combat training and is looking for adventure. Along the way, he is aided by a variety of attractive and talented young women, with whom he has the chance of developing a closer relationship.

Despite a [[ClicheStorm surfeit of standard RPG motifs]], and a [[ZeroWingrish less than optimal translation]], ''Romancing Walker'' still manages to be fun and entertaining, mostly because of its [[BattleHarem characters.]]

''Romancing Walker'' is an EasternRPG, created by FLARE using [[GameMaker RPG Maker 2000]], and translated into English by rm2Kfanboy. The story is an amusing combination of a traditional RolePlayingGame and a DatingSim, and draws heavily on the HaremGenre of Japanese animation.

The story is set in a world that, 20 years earlier, had faced the attack of a [[BigBad world-destroying monster]] known as CHAOS.

* GeniusDitz: Mariel.
