Learn Japanese To Survive! Hiragana Battle Reviews

As a means of reinforcing learning - yes. As a means of learning - no. It is more productive to learn hiragana using other methods (flashcards, for example). But it works well as a means of reinforcing previously learned hiragana in your memory. I would write down the RPG component as a negative. It needs to be mercilessly cut out and simplified. I came to the game to cram hiragana, but one of my party members is poisoned, the second is paralyzed, the third is blinded, etc. And I have to do some nonsense instead of cram hiragana. At some point I got tired of it and edited the save file, filling the inventory with all the potions and the best gear. Seriously, if I want to play an jRPG, I have many more interesting options. I have questions about how the vocabulary is presented. The developers just dump a bunch of words on you, and... that's it. There is no attempt to teach you this vocabulary. But suddenly it turns out to be needed at the end of the game. Guys... that's not how it's done. However, despite the minuses, I leave a positive review. As a reinforcement, the game fulfilled its task.

Good game on the whole but best used with a base knowledge of Hiragana and Katakana already and use the game as a break from the books ( James Heisig remembering the Kana is highly recommended ) like i did otherwise it's a slow and quite difficult way to learn from scratch. Wish the devs had not used the Manga style font for the letters as that's not the easiest way to draw them so adds unnecessary confusion there tbh.
