Discounts
Every price cut of more than 20% we have observed, in each market that quoted one, with this game's chart position on either side of it. These are episodes, not a model: a sale is one event, and one event cannot tell you what the next one will do.
Reviews, worldwide (the counter carries no country): 2.29/day in the week to Aug 16 → 6.71/day in the week after.
For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Brazil over the last 30 days: the 26 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 7 places towards #1, and the 2,400 moves with no price cut behind them went 2 away. One store, one chart, one country — it is the only place we have enough observations to say even that.
Prices outside the United States have been collected since 6 August 2026 and chart positions since 19 July 2026, so a cut older than that has no market to compare and a market that joined later has no history yet. Nothing here is converted between currencies.
About
Want to learn Japanese but don’t know where to start? Tried many learning methods, but none kept you motivated? Struggling to apply what you're learning in real life?
Wagotabi is a fun and immersive RPG adventure set in real Japan. Fully accessible to beginners, it focuses on teaching the most practical words and grammatical concepts first, in concrete situations: asking for directions, ordering a Bento, expressing your likes and dislikes, and much more! Hiragana, Katakana, and Kanji are introduced progressively as you expand your vocabulary.

Reviews
This game helps in learning words, grammar concepts, and kanji. It helps develop your Japanese Brain very well by allowing you to build Japanese sentences yourself and slowly immersing you in the language. The only complaint, it does not teach hiragana or katakana very well. I suggest using tofugu's anki decks on hiragana and katakana before playing this game. It will take you three days to two weeks tops.
This is a uniquely good language learning game, probably the only one I would recommend to absolutely everyone learning Japanese. I believe that the developers wanted to make something actually good, considering you can natively contact support within the game itself on the UI. I do not particularly like retro RPGs, and this one is genuinely good and I really do think this is the single best quality Japanese learning product on Steam. Not to say there aren't other good ones, but this game feels like a truly *quality* product.

I took 2 years of Japanese classes during college. I'm proud to say I now know how to say Japanese in Japanese.
I would highly recommand knowing hiragana and katakana before starting to play this game, even tho this game explain them to you.
Es increíble para aprender japonés. No te aburres en ningún momento, lecciones geniales y que usas con frecuencia en cada zona ayudando a recordarlas, minijuegos para los alfabetos principales más otro para kanjis. Recomendado 100% para los que quieran iniciarse en el idioma o vengan con algunas cosas ya aprendidas.
Simple design that cultivates your memorization of the language using different approaches or methods so as to hone in on the user's own skillset for the best impact.
Шикарная игра, очень нравится. В отличии от учебников, которые лично меня вгоняют в тоску и уныние, в Wagotabi японский учится очень комфортно и приятно. Надеюсь она верна традициям JRPG в плане продолжительности и у меня уйдет куча времени на ее прохождение))
Хорошая реализация для обучающей игры, держит тебя в контексте происходящего постепенно выдавая материал, что позволяет легко запоминать материал. Хорошо сделано именно в формате игры, наличие различных тестов для проверки знаний, игра с набиваем руки на чтение и написание символов, возможность полностью повторить темы и отдельные тесты по темам хорошо дополняют бродилку по локациям. Из минусов могу отметить: 1. Понимание приходит далеко не с начала игры, но возможно это моя личная проблема, да и в целом при дальнейшем прохождении понимание все же приходит. 2. Если вы играете в игру на русском, то в некоторых местах могут быть вопросы к склонениям и формам слов, но это скорее придирка, нежели реальный минус мешающий игре и обучению.
Pretty good for just having fun with the language not a complete replacement for study buy if you enjoy it will still help
