FlashBoss

Easy to start at your level, I've started Esperanto and the learning curve is great! This has been a much better experience than that website simulation. I havent tried learning a language since school, but this has been a much better way for me to learn. I recieved a beta key to test, but have since bought the game because its working, im learning and the boss fights are fun.

works well on linux, the UI is def a unique and welcome simplification on the old DOS console RPG menus, I quite like it and will def use this over ANKI just due to the pre prepped "cards". 100% a learning tool i would recomend.

I have started this game with a little knowledge of German I started by doing the BossFight which i found a good challenge. I also do the daily lessons and have found this good with good example sentences. A good way to learn new words and to see them used in sentences. i would recommend this to start learning a new language.

This game has been really well thought out. After about 9 hours I’m still remembering the words from earlier levels, which shows how well the mechanics stick with you. It’s simple to start but gets properly challenging, and it has that classic “one more try” loop that keeps pulling you back in. The boss fights are a lot of fun too and break things up nicely. Really fun little game.

Fun game-style learning (I beat my first boss today!). I’ve already picked up useful new words in my first week of FlashBoss—even after nearly 1000 days on the Owl app. Excited to see my progress over the next few weeks.

Мне понравился формат - просто и понятно, ничто не отвлекает от повторения, весьма уютное приложение! Очень бы хотелось увидеть тут Toki Pona !! А пока что продолжу свое знакомство с эсперанто! Dankon!

My grandson showed me this game and now we are practicing German together. The flashcards are made well and the bossfight system is surprisingly fun. It´s certainly suitable for elderly people like myself, you just really need the keypad.

I started learning Esperanto. I know German and a lot of Spanish and English so I can almost read it. I like this style of learning. It's pretty easy to use master Odiin in Esperanto. Just those tiu tio things aren't clicking I would recommend it. It's easy to get going once steam loads. Then it's really quick. And, I always know it's going to be over before too long. Don't judge me.

I bought his game for my daughter and she has enjoyed her time so far, she was very excited when she beat her first boss today. Its been easy to use and she likes pressing the buttons over and over again to hear and repeat the words.

This game is programmed entirely in DOS and has zero built-in accessibility options. Because the game is in DOS, you cannot resize the window without breaking the GUI, and because text in the game is all one size, if the font size is too small for you, tough cookie, because there's nothing you can do about it. I don't know if this game can teach you a language, because I couldn't get past how small the text was and the fact I couldn't adjust it to make it larger. Edit (2026/05/29/): Installing Windows Terminal resolved this issue; previously, the game was simply running in DOS only. Including Esperanto as a core language seems like a bad choice; it's essentially a dead language at this point. Also including English in core is good for helping expand and review vocabulary, but given that this is targeted towards English-language speakers, it's kind of limited in usefulness. German core inclusion is good too.
