10/10. Trial by fire, I spent 2 hours before getting through customs. Pros: - Immediately learn useful phrases - Learn all alphabets together, slowly unlocking more kana/kanji - Practice hand-writing - Ninja mini game is a great way to learn kana instinctually. - No micro-transactions or time-walled things like Duolingo Neutral: - One does not simply master the ninja mini-game. - Story progression is locked behind…

Excellent immersive way to learn Japanese. The menus take a little getting used to, but smooth overall. Would love to see more than 200 Kanji, would be fun to learn all the way up to N1 this way. Highly recommend. PS - Found the BAND-MAID easter egg. Hoping for a BABYMETAL one too.
