Reviews
Definitely has potential but still needs more development, fine tuning and content. I am just under N3 level and quickly ran out of content to study. Some of the stores caused pretty bad lag spikes and so did entering the castle. Overall, definitely useful for learning Japanese, especially for beginners but currently not polished.
There is a really, really good intention buried under the piles of junky and unintuitive UI. I am really struggle to give it thumbs up or down. It almost feels, like the dev tried to do everything, at the same time, and not really giving a lot of thought to it. The game wants to be everything at the same time, but kinda fails at it's very core, at the learning experience. There is lots of text, yes, and a lot of it voiced, but the layout is horrible. You either see the direct translations right away, or having no furigana. There is no direction whatsoever, there is too much explanations just thrown at you as a text dump, and not enough "learn by doing". I think, that a lot of it comes from dev's inexperience. I really want to believe that. Because under everything I can see the interesting idea, and I truly want to see how it changes. Right now I will not recommend it. Because if you are a complete beginner, it will be very frustrating experience. If you intermediate, there is actually a lot of decent texts, sorted by levels, that offers some value. I hope, that in few years I will come back and change this review to positive.
hra super dost nauci, jen skoda ze graficke zpracovani je horsi nez driv
