Great for learning hiragana, its not a great game but good enough to keep you going and learn the characters. I recommend using the kana-app in parallel or write everything on to a paper. Around 13 hours of content.
If you want to learn the alphabet, it's a good method if you do not like the traditional classroom method of learning. The only thing I would change is adding more reviewing of previous lessons in dungeons. Say first level is the new stuff and the next levels would incorporate older lessons. Instead it just hones in on the current lesson so you might not see a Hiragana character for 80% of the game until the final dungeon.

Gierka prosta, ale przydatna jako jeden z elementów nauki hiragany. Polecam po kazdym pojawieniu sie wojownika pisać w zeszycie literke - bardzo pomaga w zapamietywaniu. Fabuła pretekstowa, gra jako gra niezbyt porywająca - prosta mechanicznie. Pod sam koniec nastepuje gwałtowny skok poziomu trudnosci - jak 90% czasu mamy sylaby, tak nagle potem tłumaczymy cale slowa - co faktycznie bylo problematyczne, bo większość z nich tylko czlowiek przeleciał okiem podczas wstawek. Wbrew pozorom dziala na steamdecku, jedynie zamykać strzeba przez klawisz steam. W drugiej polowie zaczęło mi losowo freezować - czesto trzeba zapisywać gre. Jesli ktos chce sie nauczyć - przydatne. Jesli szukasz gierki Rpg ale nie planujesz studiować hiragany - odpuść.
Una herramienta que se apoya en la gamnificación para enseñar una de las bases del idioma japonés para aquellos que queremos aprenderlo. Sus principales puntos negativos son: Debido a su naturaleza de enseñanza sus elementos jugables se ven afectados, al tener un apartado sonoro cumplidor y una historia sencilla. Otro problema es el idioma del juego, ya que el mismo está enteramente en ingles, lo que representa una barrera a tomar en cuenta si no hablas dicho idioma Considero que su aporte educacional es enorme, gracias a el aprendí todos los Hiragana y las bases para la comprensión de algunas palabras. Por el precio que maneja es una excelente oportunidad para empezar a aprender la lengua del sol naciente.
I CAN REEEEEEAD (kinda) So! Having just finished the game, I can wholeheartedly say that it's an alright little educational bop. As someone who has an extra hard time learning languages, I found myself surprised that things were actually sticking? Full disclosure, I'm using multiple tools to help, including an old Public Access TV program (it's on Youtube, search "Let's Learn Japanese I'm Yan" and you'll likely find it), and I take a LOT of notes when it comes to things like this, so that likely helped as well. But either way, by the end I was actually able to read the words and whatnot with minimal double-checking! Far from fluent, but I'd say the game and I both achieved our goals. :3 (PS: Note down the vocab as well as the letters themselves. Don't skip taking notes. Stock up on as much Ramune as you can afford. Save often. Do the Side Quests. Tsurugi is in the Hokkaido temple and you don't actually end up having to give it away, so don't be worried about that. The game gets easier as you get access to better weapons and armour.)
Note: I stoped playing at the na, ni, nu, ne, no section of the game. I really like the idea of educational games, but this one doesn't work. The random battles are slow and tedious and really drain your desire to continue. You would undoubtedly be better off learning hiragana by just rote practice and repetition on paper as it would be much less time consuming (and you wouldn't have to scroll through multiple unwieldy menus to click every answer.) I did like the sidequests though. They were quick vocabulary learning opportunities to see hiragana in use. I think an easy fix for this game would be to remove random encounters entirely, and instead create specific encounters to test hiragana mastery. You could even include roving mob characters that initiate battle when the player runs into them for bonus challenges. Nothing else in the game is noteworthy. The stroy, writing, art and music are either stock or stock-level quality. With the educational and gameplay elements destroying each other, there is really nothing to recommend this game.
This is a great resource for learning hiragana (in addition to using other resources). I think the biggest criticisms for the game (in the context of a study tool) are: 1) The enemy groupings are preset. I had an instance where I fought three enemies. In the very next battle, those same three enemies appeared. It didn't take much thought to just choose the correct answers. And this sort of thing happened a fair bit (maybe not always the subsequent battle, but definitely the same groupings within an area). 2) The battles did become quite monotonous since there was no variation really. The turn order was always the same, the enemies barely did damage (outside of the beginning of the game), and if one of my fighters defeated an enemy in one blow (because it usually took two), then the second fighter was just left to hit a wrong answer by default. However, those are minute complaints within the grand scheme of things. This was primarily a fun and motivating way for me to learn hiragana. I found it effective! I do recommend it as a study tool as opposed to just a casual game to pick up and play.

The hiragana game is ok. I would like it more if the answer selection was more intuitive in battles. It's pretty clunky. For teaching vocabulary, I don't like that it used katakana words to teach hiragana when there are plenty of words that they could use instead. It would be good to see words that really use those hiragana that we've learned up to that point in vocabulary lessons, instead of just random words. Once I've proven mastery for the characters in an area, it would be nice if I didn't run into so many battles constantly. It would be nice to be able to pass through areas more quickly if I've already been there, OR actually change up the battles once you have "beaten" a character a certain amount of times, then it changes to words or something helpful, but reduced occurrences would be helpful to continuing the game with out getting annoyed and frustrated that you can't progress an area with out doing the same exact stuff over and over and over (When you've already gotten it right so many times).
