want to learn hiragana? but can't afford some tutoring?
this game surprisingly work well
the repetition can help you remember the word

Easy game to pick up to learn Hiragana. Two things I didn't like about this was Leon's character and how some areas had seemingly pointless mazes to pad out the area.

Despite this and the simple story, I had fun learning Hiragana from this and look forward to playing Katakana War next!

I'd say it is a really good game to "gameify" learning Hiragana, but should not be the only method to learn. This should be used while also learning via other methods.
While great for memorization because you get punished for getting it wrong, mnemonics is usually the favored method. The game does a decent onboarding for learning, but becomes repetitive early on. Players will need to grind out exp on hiragana characters, but the game uses this as a method to continually learn the characters.

I didn't finish the game as it really became pointless once I got the memorization down from other studies.
The game is also limited by the RPGmaker as some aspects become clunky and lacks QoL features such as a decent UI when fighting.

Definitely use this as a tool to learn along side other methods, but not as the sole tool. It does a good job for early learning, but that's about it.
