Learn Japanese RPG: Hiragana Forbidden Speech

very solid for learning. long term results are yet to be known but after 1 playthrough i do generally know/remember most of the words taught and the hirigana. the harder details less so, but with another playthrough or moving on to other learning i should soon fully understand it. Besides the learning aspect the game itself, at least story wise is actually quite good. the dialog and story is very enjoyable with a good amount of comedy and seriousness, honestly im actually kind of sad it ended so aburptly and wish it continued to see how the story keeps progressing. HOwever the main complaignt i have about the game, is the game itself. the gameplay is as expected, however the menu's, settings and general game itself are out-dated and honestly poorly made. the game pretty much doesnt have a menu or settings, and what it does have is quite hard to understand. The game does not have any sort of support for any resolution except its own, meaning you have to force fullscreen causing many odd issues or play in windowed, which depending on the monitor may be quite small. While it was annoying and i really do wish it goes an update, the game isn't that old, not old enough it should be like how it is, i still recommend and enjoyed my playthrough.

I've been learning Japanese for 7 months and tried other Japanese learning games like Wagotabi (almost done) and So to Speak (only played a few minutes of the demo before getting bored). I tried the demo of Hiragana Forbidden Speech for 40 minutes and I ended up enjoying it and bought the full game. The dialogue is a pretty impolite/rude and causal compared to the very formal and polite textbook Japanese that Wagotabi teaches. Though I recommend playing both games for people who are starting out learning Japanese or are at N5 level. The art and storyline isn't the greatest and its like the whole budget was put into anime-style voice acting where everything is over the top, but somehow its very charming. It makes learning Japanese fun and the humor in the game is pretty silly.

Pretty neat at teaching you lots of basic words and grammar. Easy to get into and basically requires no commitment so you're not likely to burn out starting your learning journey with this.

Motivierend und unterhaltsam. Es bringt einen dazu die Wörter/Begriffe und Silben zu lernen und macht Spaß. Dazu gibt es zwischendurch immer wieder Erklärungen zu Gebrauch und Grammatik (letzteres nicht zu viel). Nach längeren Sessions raucht der Kopf etwas :) Der Entwickler hat sich auf jeden Fall ein Lob verdient.

Excellent game! Genuinely enjoying playing it and learning as I go. (I keep a notebook handy, that's how engrossed I am!) I emailed the developer for some learning advice and they were nice enough to reply back with advice, encouragement and handy links! Amazing!

Русских в комментариях не нашёл, поэтому вот вам личное ощущение от игры. Игра встречает уже в каких-то моментах с японской озвучкой (не всегда и не везде), но даже с этого момента какие-то простые фразы будут запоминаться, поскольку под это будут подстроены ситуации. Ах да, игра хоть и на английском языке, но даже я, еле-еле доходящий до базового уровня английского понимал большую часть диалогов, что определённо заставляло меня даже смеяться в определённых частях сюжета. Само же обучение словам или фразам на японском может происходит по ходу сюжета, приводя при этом живые диалоги. Касательно японского. Когда вы пройдёте обучение, вас встретит старый добрый мир покемонов - Вы можете настраивать частоту появления противников самостоятельно. При сражении вы будете на английском писать либо значение слов, написанные хираганой; либо сами будете писать хирагану, но писать именно английскими буквами (писать так, как это произносится). После боя вы получаете опыт, который копится вплоть до получения нового знака хираганы или же нового слова на хирагане с его значением. Всегда можно будет посмотреть список слов, которые вы узнали за всё прохождение, а также есть специальная локация, которая обучает дополнительным фичам в общении на японском языке. Сама игра идеально подходит для ознакомления с японским языком, если вы уже имеете даже недотянутую базу по английскому, этого вполне будет достаточно (Если же и этого не хватает, всегда есть переводчик текста с картинок). Будьте осторожны с русской раскладкой в этой игре, т.к. при наборе русских символов игра может вылететь, не сохранив ваш прогресс.

Very cool game! Learning vocab by fighting enemies is a really nice idea, the story is funny and the grammar explanations also helpful. Nice that you can skip hiragana studies if you already know them. I'm learning a lot even though I already know some basic Japanese already.

Very easy to understand and play

10/10 I've been learning Japanese on and off for years. This game is by far the fastest method I've ever used to really truly and quickly pickup meanings of words and sentences. I'm so sad tho that it only teaches so much... I would love to see this game expand into something you could use to get to a native level if played enough. It's addicting and fun dialog keeps you interested, great explinations of everything. PLEASE DEVELOPERS - keep expanding the game to go to a native level. That would be amazing.

I'm about 60 days into my Duolingo Journey and I can already tell this method will be FAR more enjoyable, I played an effortless 40 minutes of game play, I'm really enjoying it. While this can't be your only method to learn Hiragana, I firmly believe this is a great reinforcement tool to be used in conjuction with other methods.
