Pros: - idea of learning languages by telling stories through easy gameplay; - great ambience sound. Cons: - weak voice action; - gameplay is boring and consist of walking through a city and speaking with different animals. By idea they should tell you different stories but in the end it's even hard to tell as stories. Sometimes it's just a set of unrelated sentences, even repeating. Also I was angry when I stumbled on themes like feminism, vegetarian and religious. It's fully inapropriate to use such themes in an educational game that mainly should be used by children. Also one of the stories was: "Two men love me and I don't know who to choose". https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1539718871 It's a teaching game! I understand that it was a lack of ideas in your head but at least there should be some ethic. - as my main language is russian I could only play with learning English. Ok, I could accept it but you've made a lot of translation errors. I made some screenshots to show it. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1539717864 https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1539718211 https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1539718492 - graphics very mediocre. If kids will play it, they should be scared of this animals. - almost everyone previously said that camera and controls are not comfortable. I agree with them. It's good that there's a guide but he should walk faster than now and he often walk through textures. Camera view often overlaps with buildings and it's not cool when you need to move a mouse to the edges to turn it.

Though teoretically this game was made for kids, I won't recommend it for them. It brings thoughts that shouldn't be in educational games. Lingotopia will be boring enough and for adults too.[/code] [h1]RUS[/h1] Игра была получена по программе взаимодействия с кураторами.

Плюсы: - идея изучения языков рассказом историй через простой геймплей; - отличный звук окружения. Минусы: - слабая озвучка; - геймплей скучен и состоит из походов по городу и разговоров с различными животными. По идее, они должны рассказывать вам различные истории, но в итоге это даже трудно назвать историями. Иногда это просто набор несвязанных предложений, даже повторяющихся. Также я был разозлен, когда наткнулся на такие темы, как феминизм, вегетарианство и религию. Полностью неприемлемо использовать такие темы в образовательной игре, которая, в основном, предпологает использование детьми. Также одной из историй была: "Двое мужчин любят меня, и я не знаю, кого выбрать". https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1539718871 Это образовательная игра! Я понимаю, что был недостаток идей в ваших головах, но по крайней мере, должна быть какая-то этика. - так как мой основной язык русский, я мог играть, изучая только английский. Ок, я могу это принять, но вы совершили множество ошибок перевода. Я сделал несколько скриншотов, чтобы показать это. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1539717864 https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1539718211 https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1539718492 - графика очень посредственная. Если дети будут играть в эту игру, они скорее всего испугаются этих животных. - почти каждый ранее сказал, что камера и управление не удобны. Я согласен с ними. Хорошо, что есть гид, но он должен ходить быстрее, чем в данный момент, и он часто ходит сквозь текстуры. Обзор камеры часто перекрывается зданиями, и это не круто, когда необходимо двигать мышью к краям экрана, чтобы повернуть камеру.

Хотя игра теоретически была создана для детей, я не порекоммендую ее им. Она несет мысли, которые не должны быть в образовательных игра. Для взрослых будет также достаточно скучной.[/code]

I love language learning and wanted to check out a new approach. Actually I heard about this game quite a while ago when it wasn't published yet. Now I tested it and this saying: I learnt a couple of languages already so I'm not new to language learning. Pros: - New setting - Good graphics - Intriguing story Cons: - Too slow progress. I played 20 minutes and learnt 1 word. The games states 40 words, but I can only recall one word actively. With other apps I can learn 10-20 wordsactively in 5-10 minutes (e.g. Duolingo, LingQ, Anki). - Only translations for words you "learnt" already in the boxes. I'd like to translate the sentences manually and not wait until the game thinks I'm "ready" - Character and hare far too slowly moving. I insulted my hare frequently because she didn't walk faster xD Now I'm hoping for refund since I'm not going to use this game for language learning.

This game certainly isn't the best, however I would personally say it is worth the 20 USD. It is buggy and at times it crashes, though it is unfair to expect much more from a game that has been released for five days. Despite this, the art style is easy on the eyes and the game serves its purpose of emersing you in a place of the chosen language. As for the translation, the seven (i think) base languages are well translated and are great, though the community translations (the other languages like hungarian, danish and dutch) aren't the best. In addition to this, I enjoyed the world that the game lets you explore and the worldbuilding the game has. Overall, if you want to learn Russian, Chinese, French, german, Japanese, or Spanish, this is a great game. Otherwise, I probably wouldn't suggest it.

-All-in-all, this game can be summed up as half-baked. -Let's start of with the positives. There is demand for language games and the general concept and atmosphere works fairly well for that demand. when the atmosphere works right and the music (If you can find it) plays, the game does lighten up and become less boring and/or tedious. -Sadly, there's many more negatives than positives. First things first, -This is not a $20 game. This is at most a $10 dollar game. I understand that hiring various voice-actors for various languages isnt cheap but there's nothing in the game that could really solidify a $20 price as is. -This game isn't finished and is advertised as finished -The camera and movement are terrible. The camera is stiff and is stuck in an uncomfortable bird's-eye-view that is only able to be moved horizontally. If the camera was in a 3rd-person view the game would open up more and the aesthetic could really shine with the designs and the music. -The movement is just as bad and dated as the camera, as the character controls like a tank( as previous reviews have stated). Directing the character by mouse in some way might make the control of the character be easier and more smooth. -The content of the language learning so far seems to be far and few between with few words padded out only with long walks between characters. In this state, the game is just too inefficient to learn a language -The pathinding for AI is pretty bad( especially with the person you follow, who will walk through the river and into houses)

·无法忍受的糟糕操作感，人物始终自行向前移动，而且永远不能径直向前，鼠标转向也极为生硬。 ·极不标准的中文配音，台湾腔的汉语就像加州腔的英语一样具有地区性，而台湾也是有国语讲得标准的人的，找一个普通话标准的人来配不行吗。 -糟糕的配乐。 -过少的场景和人物内容。

While this game is not the most beautiful or easily navigatable game. I am absolutely willing to deal with its less than incredible movement and game mechanics for the ability to learn a language in an immersive way. It has been incredibly helpful in my attempt to learn russian. This is a new and unique game concept! If you are trying to learn a language (not just some vocabulary) it helps you extrapolate with only some known words. Highly recommended.

I can only recommend this game if bought at a heavy discount and you can ignore the bugs. The dictionary shut down several time during my ~10 minute play time and the experience was mediocre at best. The best part of the game is the ability to see and have the translation of objects. It makes it so much easier in my mind to understand these items in the language I'm learning. However, this game does not deserve the pricetag. I bought the game at about $5 and even still it's almost not worth it. DO NOT BUY THIS GAME WITHOUT UPDATES AND/OR A PRICE REDUCTION

Played for half an hour and these are the problems I found. *Note; This game is using Taiwan pronunciation, not mainland China.* -喷水池 is not pronounced ZI it is pronounce chi like eating. -你 (you) is not the character for 帮到。 -The highlighted red is showing 你 and giving me the option for help/me/at and the pinyin is saying bangdao so doesnt match pinyin for 你 is ni third tone -wo di is not my the pinyin is wo de 我的 in dictionary it says Help bangdao 你 which is wrong -when he says 我应该告诉他 blah blah cant remember the whole thing because the sentence structure is wrong -forgot to put 应该 instead it just says 该 -垃圾桶 is pronounced LA G Tong the 及 sounds like a G sound and the pronunciation is wrong it is telling me le se tong I am so disappointed, been looking for something like this for years since I moved to China, and thought I found something amazing. Seems like a good idea, but doesnt seem like your heart is invested in it. As you said you are done building this game and moving on to the next great thing. There are so many problems to be fixed and so many avenues you could go with this, but instead now focusing your time on something else。 If you paid more attention to words, grammer structure, and expanding the Island, adventure, making it kid friendly with topics used in everyday conversations, along with advertising instead of rushing it out, im sure this would have been used for educational purposes, but im running into so many problems it makes me question the other languages on here. As I work in China and run into a lot of people who want to learn Chinese， let alone just learn English, this would have been great, but so far its not. Good luck, good try, and I commend your hard work. I couldnt have done something like this, but just not there yet. I have requested a refund and I suggest if you are serious about learning a Language DO NOT buy this. I am skeptical what the other languages are like, and what words are wrong. Lucky my Chinese was good enough to catch on early.
