Learn Japanese to Survive! Hiragana Battle Review (配達女神)
So I probably have way more hours than a person who would only complete the game normally would. This game does NOT have cloud save, So if you lose the save, you have to restart. I think there is away around this but all I could get to is modifying the save to make my people strong and have custom names. Also since I finally beat this game on an arch-based linux distro, this game suuuuucks for linux where needed PROTON_USE_WINED3D=1 %command% in the launch commands to even run it, was laggy, bugged out, and even crashed sometimes entirely. On windows it was fine. Overall: 7/10
Cons:
-Not linux Friendly, more so linux hostile, but can play through
-No cloud save
-No steam achievements
-can be annoyingly slow
Pros:
-kind of enjoyable
-decent learning pacing
-some variety
-teaches all Hiragana, and multiple words
-has some post game stuff it seems (haven't tried, and likely won't, 100% won't if I lose my save again)
-good additional supplement for learning
You will not learn japanese with this game, but it will supplement your education in a fairly enjoyable way of playing an RPG. I'm not sure what I paid for it, but I recall seeing these games are ~$11? I personally would value it less, but nothing wrong with that price. The way I see it, a book is $10-$60, and this supplements part of that so it's fair. However at same time, you can use a library (but library won't teach in hiragana in and RPG!
When I bought this, the other 2 games didn't exist (and for a long time) but I am strongly considering buy Katakana Warriors then Kanji Warriors to even though ~$11 because though a little high for the limited learning, you still learned a good amount here, in a good way, and in a turn-based RPG video game!
Hope this helped! Sorry for rambling as I do.
Edit: Just saw these games are actually $7-$9 (at least now), definitely trying more since liked this one and spent good amount of time!
