Intro

Japanese Romaji Adventure is an educational game that is teaching you romaji, the Japanese language that is written in alphabet. Set in the 1800s, you are to travel between regions in Japan, trying to explore what the country has to offer. Note that my knowledge of Japanese only comes from watching animes, so this review will be based on that.

This game is great. A classic jRPG (like FF for SNES) with a very unique story.

I was able to play this game for 5 hours in a roll and I’ve even reached mid-game (i guess).

I like the dice rolling battle and the dice combos also.

10/10

EDIT: I’ve able to finish the story with 9 hours of gameplay, I really enjoy this one.

Learn Japanese To Survive! Hiragana Battle

Video Review: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_r8lC0TTLAE

Japan produces some pretty cool stuff. Some of the best games of the last few decades have been either first released in Japan or exclusively released in Japan. A lot of the times, nice folks who know the Japanese language will translate Japanese games so that we can enjoy them to their fullest. However, that may take a while, if it ever happens at all. Besides, self-reliance is an underrated thing. Now, if you’re a chowderhead like me, then you only know one language, and that’s ‘murcan. But what if you want to broaden your horizons? You could take a Japanese course at school. But only if your school offers it, and if it’s a college course, you may be spending quite a bit of money on the course and books. You could buy Rosetta Stone, but that could cost you up to $200. I don’t know about you, but I’m not a great learner in the normal classroom setting. I’ve tried games before like My Japanese Coach, but I was bored and frustrated soon after starting. I’ve always wanted to learn Japanese, but have never found a way that works for me.

This is a really fun way of putting your lessons of Hiragana to the test.

One thing I do recomend is not using this game alone. This game is no substetute for a real Sensei ;)

Tools I’d recomend. A chart of all Hiragana characters and a small drywipe board for writing practice.

Pracice writing the characters without the game And without looking at your printed chart, then play this game to test how well you’ve done.

If you’re just looking for a gaming experance, then I’m getting my critic hat on so hold tight.

Proven: A Math RPG

I’ve been a math teacher for a little over 11 years and this is definitely one of the few games that kept my class engaged. I really like how the game builds on concepts that are learned. This makes it a lot less intimidating to learn a new math skill. The game also has a fun story with an important message about why knowledge and learning matter. The schoolhouse and computer lab in town are also very helpful too.

The game contains many different locations to explore with many different ways to test math skills. The better you do, the more character you meet who offer to join your party. The levels are also well-designed and some even contain different paths leading to bonus items. Fun game and activities that consist of entering the door that has the correct answer to a math problem, true / false questions from people they meet along the way, and a treasure hunt that contains many helpful items they can use to defeat the guardian of a level.

Proven its a fun game that teaches math in the style of a JRPG makes this something that kids will actually want to play. I also really like the positive message and morals from the king while still being light-hearted and fun. The game teaches math in an innovative way and is perfect for family game night.

it’s a perfect game to have fun and learn.

I recommend.

Learn Japanese To Survive! Katakana War

Hello Everyone,

This is going to be a review of developer Sleepy Duck’s second instalment in there three part Learn Japanese to survive series that helps teach the basic aspects of the three different Japanese writing systems. In “Learn Japanese to Survive! Katakana Wars” the player will be learning about the Katakana writing system. Hope you enjoy.

Now in the words of Daisuke Sensei “Its Study Time!”

Learn Japanese to Survive! Katakana Wars is a classic style RPG game that focuses on teaching the player the Basic structure of the Japanese Katakana system. The game does this by having the player participate in ten study sessions where they will learn the 46 Basic katakana characters (which are called Gojuon) along with 20 dakuon, and 5 handakuon (these are modified forms of some of the katakana characters). In the game it also mentions 1 sokuon and 36 yoon characters however, this dimension of the katakana system is not focused on as the player engages in gameplay, so it can only be considered as a side note in the game. There are also different vocabulary words that the play has the option of learning in the lessons as well as during side quest but after these words are mentioned they do not have a specific purpose in the game. Throughout the game’s lessons/side quest it also mentions hiragana characters but does not focus on them since the introduction of these characters were done in their first game “Learn Japanese to Survive Hiragana Battle”. The main aspect of the katakana system that is focused on is Gojuon, Dakuon, and Handakuon. From my experience the game explains this portion of the Katakana writing system rather well and it helps make the memorization of the characters seem slightly more engaging than just memorizing the characters from a book. With that being said, I would say that this game is for novice Japanese learns or intermediate learners that want a referrer of some of the Katakana characters. This game is not made for you become a fluent speaker over night or for you to decide that this will be the only instruction that you will need to make your next big trip to Japan. In short, this game is either a supplemental resource to help you learn katakana characters for the first time or a supplemental resource to help you to reinforce the Katakana characters that you all ready know. Regardless, if you decide to purchase this game because you/a friend/a family member wants to learn Japanese, you/they will still need to buy other books, flashcards, video tutorial, learning software, games, or other supplemental materials if you/they are serious about learning Japanese. Now that is out of the way let’s get to the games story.

This game will teach you the Katakana characters and some vocabulary. It’s a hit and a miss at most time. It improved most of the issues Hiragana Battle had.

First and foremost if you’re looking to learn the Katakana characters, look no further. This is the game. If you’re seeking for more than just the characters, this isn’t the game.

Personally, it did seem daunting at first to learn another 20+ characters following Hiragana. You know,“you can’t teach an old dog new tricks”? Well, I certainly felt like that and I can say I think I got a good grasp of the Katakana characters and more or less.
