coming from someone that is N5 qualified and working on N4 1 its a good game 2 please dont give the answers for the vocabulary for EX the vocab at the top is written as blue/ao -- stomach/i -- train station/eki i think having the answer for the vocab is taking away from learning the word 3 all the monsters make the same sound when you kill them its a good over all game my main complaint is the vocab giving the answers

Very simple but very useful memory game for reinforcing and learning hiragana/katakana and vocabulary. A few new words each level and according to the in game map there are over 600 levels(idk I stopped scrolling at 600). That's a lot of words. Recommend being at least a little familiar with Hiragana before starting.

This is one one of many games/resources I have for learning and practicing Nihongo. I ran through the first three levels and am impressed. What is great is that it does not use one consistent font for the kana - because they do look different to the untrained eye, as do any letters in a particular "font." This adds a level of flexibility to the process of learning which is useful when some kana bear resemblance to others in different scripts. I played about five hours of Japanese learning games today, between mobile and steam. This one was the last one of the night, and the perfect end to a educational night!

It's a good time killer for helping retention of words you already know in Japanese. I'm not sure how it would work for a pure beginner. My only complain is that the main character move too slow between monsters. I wish the game would be faster. That and SFX are way too loud versus Voice. Pretty good game overall.

I'm just getting into playing this. Overall, I am finding it a good review of hiragana and I'm now learning a few new words on the way. The only thing that is causing me problems is that the voice samples for hiragana seem too quiet and a bit muffled; even with the BGM off. This seems less of an issue with vocab voice samples. Since the other sound effects seem louder, if I turn up the volume enough to hear the voice clearly, then the sound effects become almost painful. If there is a future update, I would ask for a way to control the voice sound level that is independent from the sound effects. Or if nothing else, maybe resample the hiragana parts. Thanks.

Games like Black Myth Wukong: the boss, not the world

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.

Games like Hollow Knight: one kingdom you have to learn

Games like Hollow Knight are judged on one thing: whether the world is a single place you learn or a menu of levels. These keep it connected, from Pharloom to a well full of secrets.

Games like Borderlands 3: guns that roll, trees that branch

Games like Borderlands 3 have to do two things at once: roll a new gun every few minutes and make a skill tree worth planning. These manage both, and one asks you to craft instead.

Games like Dragon Age 2 are hard to find because almost no RPG keeps you in one city while it rots. These come close, from Neketaka to the streets of Serene.

Games like Noita, where the physics is the real enemy

Games like Noita for the two things it really does: spells you assemble yourself, and a simulated world that takes nobody's side. Seven picks, from a slugcat to a dwarf fortress.
