Hi, guys! Here are some screenshots of our upcoming rpg/VN game JapaneseBattle,
that teaches you Japanese while you’re trying to survive in a psychedelic world full of demons. You’ll have to learn Japanese writing system (hiragana, katakana, kanji), vocabulary and grammar and use your skill to fight anything that threatens you, being a full-time student hostage in a “language school”.
You’ll make friends, you’ll also make enemies.
You’ll learn a ton of Japanese in step by step lessons, tests and practices.
If you could never progress in your Japanese study, if that katakana or kanji just doesn’t stay in your head – here you’ll have no choice, but to use it and by using make it stay! Or you just die)
If you have no problems and are steady on your way to mastering nihongo – you’ll get additional interactive training for your level.
The game will cover all the topics, grammar, vocabulary, kanji and radicals from beginner levels (N5-N4) through the intermediate (N3), upper-intermediate (N2) and advanced (N1). It will also be updated with additional extra lessons with slang, onomatopoeia (giongo gitaigo), dialects, cultural notes and more.
We really want you to enjoy this adventure with us and make it reach its’ fullest potential.
Tell me it’s going to have a way to test your way up to your own level.
If I have to run through my ra-ri-ru-re-ro, that’s… a no.
This looks great except for i noticed sometimes its doing that thing where it teaches you to think in english and translate from japanese to understand things like kanji, which ive read is a big hindrance for interpretation. In a game format, i think theres a lot of potential to match things like kanji to pictures and concepts or even minisodes (given that this looks like a vn format) instead.
If you need a game to help you learn Kana then Japanese simply isn’t for you.
Lovely, I like it. Although I’d rather see the game progress into Japanese than *teach* Japanese in English. I think it would be more useful. Like, instead of the characters asking the player how school is written, instead slowly transition from using English into using Japanese for some words then sentences. More natural and less dissonant.
Looks great!
This looks incredible! When are you looking at for a release?
Wtf are those images? Is that dude dismembered? And I don’t even know what’s going on in the second one
Looks promising. I like how the choices are all similar and I hope they make sense too as potentil answers. If I can deduct what is not the answer and the last item happens to be the correct one, I feel I learned nothing. This is good. I need it to be difficult.
Also, repetition in lots of diffirent contexts. Gotta practice practice practice!

Looks cool!!
This game has a lot of potential if it’s fun to play and educational.
Will it be available on Steam when it’s done?
Any idea on a likely eta for its release? And what sort of price point the game would be?
why is the gojuuon sideways and segmented side-by-side like that? no educational references ever draw it that way.

Is it on any platform to use?

Where can I find it?
*opens up the list of games I want to play*
*scrolls all the way to the bottom*
*adds game name to the spreadsheet*
Seems like the same concept like [Learn Japanese to Survive! Kanji Combat](https://store.steampowered.com/app/759440/Learn_Japanese_To_Survive_Kanji_Combat/), but taken farther and with f-ed up enemy designs. Well, competition is good for business.
What the hell is that thing in the second image?

Does it offer all that?
