✦ AI summary

Kanji Drive is a casual kanji practice game that works well on the Steam Deck and can be a fun, low-stress way to learn while multitasking, but players report technical bugs including crashes and incorrect kanji translations, along with complaints about unclear tutorials, limited customization options, and gameplay that feels unpolished and sometimes uncomfortable. Players suggest it's only worth trying at very low prices for extremely casual learners, as it doesn't substitute for proper kanji study methods and lacks the features and stability needed for serious language practice.

Unfortunately, I cannot recommend this, as it sometimes teaches incorrect readings

Good game could use pronunciations on top of the word at the top Also being able to change your settings without wiping your save would be nice. And a somewhat tutorial for kanji and not just figure it out because kanji is still confusing!

A fun little way to practice kanji. It's no substitute for old fashion kanji study, whether that be stroke order practice or flash cards through something like wanikani. It's works great on the Steam Deck though.

It's a fun game to play while watching Netflix. Good to practice with, but I wish you were able to switch between what you already know and don't know. (For say Kana) Rather than just having to play through with what you don't know. (This message is mainly for the dev(s) lol)

Maybe it's not that bad for the cost I paid which is a liitle more than 1 dollar... Anyways, the gameplay was stresfull for me hah! But I did learn some kanjis and their meaning. But the minigames like the main gameplay is just so weird and kind of uncomfortable, maybe it needs to be polished. I would recommed it at the same price and for a very casual experience, but if you want a real game to learn and have fun. I don't think this is a good option. さようなら!

---KEEP FINGERS OFF UNTIL PATCH--- Hello, first got Error src/dictionary.lua:26: bad argument #1 to 'print' (string expected, got nil) Traceback [love "callbacks.lua"]:228: in function 'handler' [C]: in function 'print' src/dictionary.lua:26: in function 'draw' main.lua:126: in function 'draw' [love "callbacks.lua"]:168: in function <[love "callbacks.lua"]:144> [C]: in function 'xpcall' on entering the dictionary. Then after second restart some similar or same error (blue screen) occurred after starting the game. Need fix. Can recommend in general though. EDIT: The .ini tables seem to query the wrong entries of other .ini tables, leading to wrong translations in-game, even though the tables are correct. Cannot recommend anymore until developer fixed that stuff. Not sure if this is also why the game crashes. Other reviewer said they had to correct something in the hiragana inis - even though the tables are correct. Since then there was no update - so I believe there goes something terribly wrong in general. There go my 6 Euros to waste. ---KEEP FINGERS OFF UNTIL PATCH--- Date: 05.05.23

Games like Black Myth Wukong have to replace the fight, not the setting: the deflect window, the transformations, the one-more-try pull. These do, from Ashina to Tsushima.
