Please add a section for just knowing verbs in dictionary form and later conjugating them as an optional part but words in Japanese and getting them correct like vocab. And another area for adjectives. I’m currently studying Japanese in a class with the genki books so I’m hoping u use vocab words that’s in that and verbs and stuff

Fun game, feels a lot more like playing than just studying or memorizing. I really enjoy it, even outside of the learning Japanese aspect. The art is nice, music is good, and the gameplay is engaging. My main complaint is that it seems a little unbalanced. Even if you get your Japanese questions correct all the time, some of the enemies are incredibly strong (very high HP, powerful attacks) and unless you have enough shields to block them, it's pretty easy to die especially when you face the first big boss and beyond. I think if it were a bit better balanced and enemies matched your level better when you are just starting out and only have so much HP / so many powerful cards, it'd be a ton better. Overall though, just for the fun of learning and practicing the Japanese, I would recommend it!

The games seems to have a lot to learn from, but the UI and pacing are both really confusing. Not to mention it crashed multiple times in the brief time I tried to play. I bought this to compliment my Japanese learning, but there are easier to use apps and games that function better. It's too bad, because this seems like something the devs put a lot of heart and effort into making.

This is legitimately a great way to learn, and I don't think the battles are too hard. Almost every run I manage to make it to the end boss. There are some weird issues, like there being a delay after using an attack card before you can use another card/end turn, and the spritesheet has some sprites overflowing into each other, as the compression is blurring the art slightly causing it to jump the borders (Adding 1-2 pixels of spacing between sprites should eliminate that, or under Import changing the Compress mode to lossless.) I wish this game still got updates, as a "draft" mode where you get to build your deck upfront from random pulls and see how far you can go would be really fun, not to mention more cards in general. But still, totally worth the purchase.

This game is amazing, do you plan to expand the japanese pool to upper level like N3->N1

I learned the word Gomi. It describes my experience. Not enough vocabulary options in the beginning
