About
You've inherited your Grandmother's quaint old izakaya. Unfortunately, it sits right on a spiritual leyline. The seals are starting to crack and the yokai monsters have begun to stir. Her old recipe book sits on the counter, filled with words you can't yet read. Decipher them to serve meals to your customers.
Manage customer satisfaction against unending yokai attacks. Every choice matters - from game changing Relics with unexpected synergies, to Spirit Techniques with run-defining strategies, you'll need to think ahead to keep the izakaya open for the next night.
Learn Japanese just by playing. No previous knowledge required. Start with the basics and work your way up to advanced. You can learn both Hiragana AND Kanji. Bring your own word lists and study any vocabulary you like. Game over? Start again using the words you missed last time using the "Practice these words" feature.
The Mastery system ensures that you don't repeat known words, while incorrect words are repeated until they stick. Words which are Mastered have their answers auto-completed. Turn on "Auto Mode" and watch your Relic and Spirit Technique combos play out for huge satisfaction multipliers.
Discover your strategy with 46 Relics and 6 Spirit Techniques, along with multiple different yokai and customer archetypes. Every run will feel different as you take on new challenges.

Haunted Izakaya es un original roguelike de cartas independiente con un brillante enfoque educativo. En esta peculiar propuesta, heredamos la tradicional taberna de nuestra abuela, solo para descubrir que está situada sobre una línea de energía espiritual y que deberemos defenderla de interminables oleadas de yokais mientras servimos a los clientes. La Experiencia: Al ponernos a los mandos, nos encontramos con una mezcla sorprendente y muy adictiva. El bucle jugable nos exige atender la izakaya y sellar a los monstruos aprendiendo y formando palabras japonesas reales (desde el hiragana más básico hasta complejos kanjis). Su núcleo de construcción de mazos funciona de maravilla: hemos tenido que pensar muy bien qué "Reliquias" y "Técnicas Espirituales" elegir para crear sinergias y sobrevivir a cada noche, en un sistema de maestría que detecta las palabras que fallas para repetirlas y automatiza las que ya dominas. Lo mejor: Aprender jugando: El sistema educativo es excelente y súper natural. Incluso te permite importar tus propias listas de vocabulario personalizado para estudiar exactamente lo que necesites mientras juegas. Estrategia roguelike: No se conforma con ser solo una herramienta educativa; las sinergias entre las cartas y los combos aportan un desafío táctico profundo que te engancha en cada intento. Puntos a tener en cuenta: Nicho muy específico: Aunque no requiere ningún conocimiento previo del idioma, es evidente que su principal atractivo y mayor disfrute recae en aquellos jugadores que tengan un interés genuino en iniciarse o practicar japonés. Conclusión: Una propuesta fantástica que demuestra de forma brillante cómo la educación y el género roguelike pueden ir de la mano sin sacrificar la diversión. Es una compra excelente y un reto táctico ideal si buscas una herramienta entretenida para adentrarte en el idioma japonés. Valoración: 🇯🇵 Aprendizaje: ★★★★★ (Sistema de maestría de hiragana y kanji impecable) 🃏 Estrategia: ★★★★☆ (Sinergias y reliquias que cambian cada partida) 👹 Temática: ★★★★☆ (Mitología yokai y gestión de taberna muy carismática) 💸 Calidad/Precio: ★★★★☆ ¡Gracias por leer!

fun way to learn Japanese as a beginner. Nice music too
It has some strategy other than just remembering Japanese words, so it feels like playing a real game, not just doing flashcards. It's hard to stop playing once you start, which seems like a good quality when it's also helping you review Japanese.
