  Not much to say, this game does it all right for a learning game. I played trough it once and do it a second time. Most important you really learn and you have fun while doing it. The most important feature which make this product superior to other learning japanese rpg products is that you have to type in the words by hand instead of selecting a hiragana or word out of a list. Which improves the learning alot. Also there are special dialogs which explain grammar an word usage in more depth. Learning factor: great Story: funny (and the dialogs between npc and with the player supports the learning, well made) Gfx: RPG style, fits the product (the resolution is low but fullscreen can be used) Soundtrack: all great and fitting (just liked one track not so much) Voice acting: great, didnt expect so much voice acting in that good quality Controls: ok Bugs: 35 hours and only 2 glitches and 1 bug that crashs the game (maybe due to custom translation into german with special chars) Overall rating: MUST BUY if you want learning japanese

  Fun so far honestly given my age I'm not sure i can make it really useful in life anymore. But at this point its more about finally overcoming something i have tried to do on and off for years. and this RPG is by far the funnest way i have ever tried to learn. see this isn't even the first Japanese learning RPG i tried. But unlike with Learn Japanese to survive where it is a standard turned based RPG this one has a s more ATB akin to classic final fantasy or Chrono Trigger, you learn characters and or words by typing the meanings out in English and if you take to long The monster will just beat you up, it really drives you to learn those characters and words fast I hope i can find many more RPG'S in this format will done guys! hell i'm wondering if there is mods for this game that teaches you more words lol will for sure be buying a katakana and or kanji version of this game

  Repetitive practice in a way that doesn't feel tiring. The story is interesting and sometimes hilarious, and the game world is well done with excellent pixel graphics, but the real selling point of this game is how effective the word retention is. I thought that the way vocab is "unlocked" or progressed was too fast paced, at first, but the pressure of having so many words thrown at you forces your mind to prioritize remembering their meanings; especially when you set the review battles to activate with every step. It also helps that you have to type each word. If you are someone who wants to learn Japanese but struggles with remembering vocabulary, and will often get frustrated and sidetracked - this game is for you. Hope to see more fun educational games like this from Study Bunny Games and others.

  So thoughtfully and cleverly composed to be both educational and fun! I downloaded this game as a supplement to my beginner Japanese language app because I wanted to learn the kana as well. But I found that many of the grammar and vocabulary lessons in the game were far more intuitive than the app I started with =) I love the learning style of gradually introducing more Japanese words in dialogue along the way, so that you really feel like you can participate in a conversation by the end. The story, which I sort of expected to be just a throw-away framework for the lessons, was actually totally cute and hilarious, with lots of tongue-in-cheek humor, interesting settings and remarkably excellent voice acting. I don't want to say anything bad about this! It's clearly a labor of love by the developers. If I had one thing to look out for though, it's that the learn speed is pretty fast (you can adjust the settings some, but even in the slowest settings, new words are coming at you sometimes before you feel you're ready to move on.) But at least you're able to do additional play-throughs after the story ends with your existing vocabulary in tact, so I've found this has been a good way to review everything again. If you like old school video games and are at all interested in learning some Japanese, buy this game! It is worth it on every level.

  I love this game! I can't imagine a better game for the novice to learn Japanese. I started this game knowing Hiragana pretty well, so even if you already know that there is still an incredible benefit to this game. The grammar lessons are super informative and easy to understand and the vocabulary has already increased my comprehension while watching Japanese YouTube videos. The story and characters make this feel like a real game and not some learning simulator. There in no better entry to playing a Japanese game! Download the demo and get started for free! I'm excited for this developer to grow and produce more games. After much research this is the only game I found that doesn't either require you can pass the N5 JLPT, or is boring as Mavis Winkle's typing tutor. I feel like a whole new world is now open to me.

  I am only 1 hour in and I already think this is the best game for learning Japanese. I would consider myself a upper beginner in Japanese before playing this game, but it feels tailored for anyone under intermediate (I believe there are less than 300 words?). It feels like they could easily expand on the words. I'm not sure why they chose some common words but not others (I believe you learn the word for "Mother" pretty early, but "Father" isn't in the game). Even though I have a few negatives above. I've never in my life thought "I need to leave a positive review on this game" both in such a short amount of time and constantly while playing it. When I think of a video game that'll help teach a language this is EXACTLY what I always wanted and tried to describe to people. My biggest complaint is that I didn't hear about it during the kickstarter.

  The first japanese learning game that is actually fun to play and designed in a way that learns something. The price is ok for what you are getting. I would love to see an option to show kanji+furigana in dialogues. And also more content for intermediate learners.

  Absolutely obsessed so far!! It was saddening when i hit the end of the demo, so far it's been playing out like the quality of a good trash isekai with interesting twists (I'm only about 2 hours in though), which to be honest, for a educational game is absolutely incredible, I am genuinely waking up in the mornings looking forward to playing this game. I'd absolutely love it if you could add a katakana option! It would be incredibly useful. Also while the music is enjoyable for the most part (even going so far as to say that some soundtracks are absolute bops!), the title screen music and some of the sound effects I am rather not enjoying, sounding compressed or just bad. Another thing- Ben, in the village where the full game starts after the demo, claims there is no singular "they" in English. I know you were using it as a point to talk about Japanese, but it's incorrect, you can use singular "they" in situations such as "someone lost their coat" or "I don't know who this person is, but they're waving at me". So "they" is traditionally used as a impersonal pronoun for when you don't know someone's gender, but recently it's becoming more accepted to be used as a personal pronoun for those choosing to go by they/them, I can totally understand why you might not want to change anything in accordance with recent language changes, but I appreciate any consideration either way. I've just started though and will likely update as I play, I just wanted to write this review to give my thoughts so far. Thanks for making learning so damn interesting! Edit: While not necessary, I think a way to track exactly where you need to go like a quest log would be a great edition! There have been a time or two (so far) where i didn't necessarily know where to go because i accidentally skipped dialogue or the instructions were a little vague. So mostly my fault, but I think it would be nice quality of life. I also love the sense of urgency that the fights have!! Definitely one of the most engaged I've felt in a rpg fight! Also I like how if you enter in alternative hiragana for words it still accepts, even if it doesn't seem massive, I really appreciated it. Thanks :) Edit: the hermit seems to comment on the "they" issue. I can see how someone would think "they" is only plural.
