60 of 198 · most liked firstThis game will not teach you kanji. It can help you in your studies though. Some of the mechanics in the game are not exactly well suited for a pleasant learning experience. It's difficult to look up information on what you already learned, there are no learning statistics, no dictionary, and most of the kanji information is just "dumped" on you. If you want to succeed in learning kanji, you have to develop your own system and habits. It took me around 32 hours to complete the game 100%. I…

I bought this game because I was struggling with kanji and tried to find a fun and effective way to get the basics. this game is not fun nor effective and I can't recommend it. here's why: Since getting this game, I found another way to learn kanji which helped me a lot. So, I have experienced this game both as a beginner and as a little more advanced student. both experiences were bad. That is because, the game covers the most…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I bought this thinking It oculd be helpful for my friend who is studying Japanese. But, to come to the point, it was not. Totally not. I would teach him Japanese by myself. Since I am Japanese, I think I'm not the right person to criticize the learning part, but I am sure that the combat system and the UI was not sophisticated at all. The story part was absolute vacuum unless you enjoy being in a lukewarm weeb community. It could have been better if it had used some kanji in the script or had…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Learn Japanese to Survive! Kanji Combat: A Review For the final(? maybe more to come?) game of the series, it tackles what I consider to be the hardest thing about Japanese, the kanji aspect. I can say that I had way more breaks in-between play sessions to help me with remembering in this game. It took me roughly 20 game sessions to beat the game, with each session roughly an hour long. and I will make this very clear, THIS GAME WILL BE EXTREMELY HARD JUST BY PLAYING IT AND THAT ALONE I…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →First and foremost, this is an educational game. It teaches the Kanji taught in Grades 1 and 2 of Japanese schools. As such, there is a TON of repetition. It's to be expected as it's trying to get you to memorize and learn the Kanji. There is no sentence structure or grammar in this game. It just teaches the Kanji. You will need another way to learn sentence structure and grammar! If you don't know any Japanese, do NOT start with this game. Begin with Hiragana Battle and then Katakana War.…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The last part of the Japanese language learning trilogy. The first two offered to learn two alphabets of the Japanese language. This part introduces you to the kanji. Of course, absolutely all kanji cannot be learned for one game, but the most basic ones will be provided here, and this is 240 pieces. The gameplay and visual component are the same as in the first two parts. This is still the same JRPG with elements of a visual novel. However, due to the large volume of the study, the gameplay…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I write this review with an asterisk* Kanji Combat is an excellent tool for reviewing kanji when you already have a basic understanding of it, as well as the principles behind how it works. For those already decently initiated into the world of learning Japanese, this game stands as a great source of review and rounding out your knowledge. However, the reason why I cannot in good faith recommend this game is because of how it presents itself, and how it turns out in-game. The design issues I…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I bought this in the hopes of gaining some degree of Kanji understanding before moving to Japan where I reside now. Honestly, the memorization practices and explanation of kanji is really solid. If I could have a version of the game where it's just the kanji explanation along with the visual memorization component, I'd buy that in a heartbeat because that was actually really helpful in understanding some kanji. But this game suffers from WAY too much story. I sat down with my girlfriend…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Game freezes or shows black screem every 5-10 minutes... Totally unplayable. Also it is not possible to save progress often, so in addition to repetitive gameplay you have to replay same steps many times... it CAN be easily fixed, but DEVs abandoned this project long ago. So if you are struggling as I was, here is the solution: this is a common RPG maker bug where a variable can go negative. - navigate to www/js and open rpg_core.js in the game files, open with text editor - look for the line…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Not the most effective way to learn kanji. It's okay if you want an interesting review, but not good for much else. It's rote memorization with vague mnemonics. At least they teach the common on'yomi and kun'yomi, which is a step up from other programs and books I have looked at. In my experience the memory aids distract more than they help. I have logged a few hours on this game and most of that time was spent trying to find the word in question. I could think of the appropriate kanji or…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →An okay learning tool, but a glaringly flawed, frustrating disappointment. Hiragana Battle and Katakana War are both miles better. My gripes don't lie in how it handles teaching, no; my gripes lie in the RPG system, believe it or not. You might think RPG systems would be irrelevant for an educational game, but they really impede the entire experience. My main complaints are thus: The enemies all scale to the level of the main character. Fine in concept, but only if you account for this…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →So I was coming to this game with the following background (maybe you are in a similar position): - could recognize a few hundred words when hearing, after watching hundreds of hours of anime - could read hiragana and write most of it - could read almost all katakana - knew around 15 kanji just from seeing them all the time (i mean, if you've watched that many high school animes and haven't even bothered to look at those damn chalkboards and don't know yet the kanji for DAY (sun) and MONTH…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I'll start off with criticism. Personally I enjoyed the previous two games and feel like those are great at introducing the concepts of hiragana and katakana. The thing is kana compared to many other aspects of Japanese is a relatively straightforward concept with not many exceptions to their established rules. Kanji, however, is an entirely different ball game. While kana may take you a few months to get used to, kanji takes years, and there are so many different obstacles when tackling kanji…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →聯想法很不錯，設定有點離譜，適合外國人學習。 有點日語基礎的話 開頭過於簡單，目前還沒嘗試多少時間不好評價。 I hope the pronounciations of the Kanjis could be spelled as Hiragana or Katakana instead of English/Romaji.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game takes memorising Kanji, normally one of the most gruelling and painful parts of learning Japanese, and makes it fun. Through repetition and typical RPG Maker combat, you are forced to memorise about 240 Kanji, which is about as much as a Japanese 1st or 2nd grader would know. This means that you only have to learn ten times more of that amount in order to perform basic functions in Japanese society. Unfortunately, the art and voice acting are actually really good this time around, so…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I give this thumbs up due to lack of alternatives and because you can get it really cheap on sale. This doesn't mean that the game part is any good or that the didactic concept is convincing - actually neither is the case. To summarize this: it's more of a quiz game with a JPRG theme. And of course you can't learn Japanese with it. Best you can hope for is to learn some Kanji. Anyway, if you played Hiragana and Katakana Wars, you know what to expect. You'll walk around with a party of four…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Oh man, listen my fellow Japanese learning Weebs. There needs to be more games like this! I've never been so motivated to learn Kanji. It feels like when I was 10 and I was learning that water beats fire in Pokemon gen 1, just a fun time to play and learn.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →not an efficient way to learn Kanji that this game use. also the storyline is pretty cringy to me. no bugs or anything of that kind though.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I was a big fan of the previous two games. I began studying Japanese with the prior two alongside duolingo and youtube videos, and noticed how effective the games were compared to duolingo in particular. This game just gets you to memorize kanji in a similar vein to the previous games, but I can't say that it's particularly effective since there is too much missing context. In isolation it seems nice, but when you're actually trying to construct sentences (which is natural after finishing the…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It takes like half an hour just to learn 5 kanji you ain't learning nothing from playing this game
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →You've been through Hiragana Battle. You've survived the Katakana War. Now it's time for Kanji Genocide! Huh, it's just Kanji Combat? Damn. And here I was hoping for escalation. Overall, this is edutainment. And having beaten the whole trilogy, I can tell you that I still can't read a single Japanese sentence. They are more of learning the annoying alphabet. This time you are learning around 200 or so hieroglyphs things that people use to look cool and use less space on paper, aha. Japanese…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Finally, It is time. *Turns subtitles off*
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I was a little skeptical, since this installment had the lowest rating out of the series. However, after playing this for 5 hours and effortlessly learning and remembering 40 new kanji in that time, I am sold. The game has me hooked and makes me want to keep grinding, due to how it handles the gamemplay aspect. Great game, great learning tool.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game is fantastic for getting started with your Kanji basics. I do suggest creating mnemonics for the kunyomi and onyomi readings. Also learning 1 word for each reading will help you better recall it. I wish there was a continuation to the game with even more Kanji, oh please creator Gods hear my prayer! :D

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →3/10 would not label this as education ok for a game but not for learning Japanese, more of a weeb thing
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →If you're new to learning Japanese, play in this order: 1. Hiragana Battle 2. Katakana War 3. Kanji Combat Each game is an attempt to make flash cards more enjoyable and it does so to a certain extent. If you have already played the first two parts, this is more or less the same but with Kanji instead. This game is longer than the first two and well worth it to aid in the combat against the never-ending Kanji characters. You need to knock them out one at a time and this is a good place to…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →ok sooo first of all, for all the ones who really thinks that this game can help you learn kanji from zero - nope. You still need courses and lessons. It's perfect more for practicing your knowledge. I liked the concept and the mechanics, and I'm sure it was hard to make even such game. What I adored also are plot and amount of characters. The plot makes you play more and more, and you can form your perfect team with different characters and their abilities. In the end, I would really recomend…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →[Learn Japanese to Survive: Kanji Combat] We are getting deep, can we remember all these Kanji? www.twitch.tv/aosorarisu I'm really worried that the ones from the first chapter will suddenly come back. I'll need to review them sometime. Let's learn more! #LearnJapanese #Kanji
unlabelledView post →As an addition to a Japanese course, certainly a nice learning aid. But not really suitable as a stand-alone game. The story and dialogs are very basic and not particularly motivating, the gameplay itself is rudimentary while the graphics and user interface could be done better by any hobby junior developer using RPG Maker.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Two steps forward and one step back, thats how I would describe Kanji Combat. But they're very small steps forward at that. The town building mechanic was a nice addition to give the player something besides just item upgrades to work towards. Also the visual novel style storytelling fits a lot more and overall feels more polished. Sadly thats about where the good ends. Like the other games, the voice acting is really bad, to the point I wanted to just turn it off entirely. While the voice…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →edit: I went just a little too hard in my previous review and said it won't help in any significant way but the past few days have proven me wrong, I still can't recommend this in good conscience because it is less effective than the previous games as it tries an approach that's not ideal for what it's trying to teach this ain't it the learning method is the same for the previous games but just memorizing Kanji in a vacuum creates a really awkward position where you can point at a Kanji you…

When we were going through our separation, I felt lost and unhappy. I was self-destructive. One day, I was so angry with everything spiraling out of control that I punched a concrete wall in a moment of overwhelming emotion. This resulted in breaking my fifth metacarpal in my right hand—the hand I worked with, played games with, and used to carry my children to bed—the hand…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Learn Japanese To Survive! Kanji Combat is an educational RPG. The third entry in the Learn Japanese To Survive series, this game is the best educational tool yet out of the series - but that isn't saying much, since the heaping of RPG and visual novel elements thrown into the mix distract from and artificially lengthen the learning experience via the hefty 12 hour campaign. Only Japanese learners completely new to Kanji and who want to specifically train recognition, not the Kana readings or…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Plays just like an old Final Fantasy game. I enjoy the game while also learning Kanji!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This was very effective at helping me learn a lot of Kanji much more easily. I'd be interested in future lesson games with even more Kanji and expressions.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →In comparison to Katakana Wars, I think this installment was neither creative nor useful in learning kanji. Among the three writing systems in Japanese, kanji is definitely the most difficult and grueling. One character does not simply have one reading. As such, reusing the same mechanics as Katakana Wars seem detrimental almost. You now have this whole block of text for many different words and it can easily get confusing after a while. Instead of the convoluted multiple choice options, a…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A fun calm rpg with some battles where you pick the correct Japanese character to win. I got it on sale for $3 just to try it out. I just wanted to practice the character meanings alone, without worrying about the sounds or hiragana/katakana, etc., since I'm learning Mandarin. So far I can match the English meaning for the characters easily and it doesn't require me to remember the Japanese pronunciations on their own (although they're still shown). So for beginners to Sino characters…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →ありがとう It's scary at first, learning the Kanji from Hiragana > Katakana > Kanji but this game makes the scary part fun. I hardly remember the Japanese pronunciations of the Kanji which is understandable being an English speaker and I feel where this game actually shines is in visual memory, like using flashcards. The game is also structured well to help with memory and fun too.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Peak Japan was 1995 to 2025. Peak America was 1992 to 2016. Peak Thailand was 1994 to 2006.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Is it a particularly original game? No. Does it still crash? Yes. Does it do a fantastic job of helping a beginner break into the intimidating field of study that is Japanese kanji? Also yes. Lessons are broken into approachable chunks, its easy to review previous material, each successful attack shows stroke order, and characters call out a different pronunciation each time.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →bought this to learn kanji... this is just an otaku trap made to appeal for those who think they know japanese from anime.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It's surprisingly feelsy for such a dorky game! The veterans of the Katakana War... so tragic...
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is an educational game intended to teach the Japanese Kanji Alphabet. Gameplay consists of a VN/JRPG where the monsters are characters that must be translated. While there's nobility in education, the implementation here is too poor to recommend. Pixel "art" has been used in some places, inexplicably jarring with the tolerable hand drawn manga style art in other places. Also, there's no fullscreen mode, despite this being published in 2018. Did they not pick that up in testing?…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is a great entry-level kanji RPG game. The other two games by this developer is also worth getting as well IMHO. I'd suggest writing and pronouncing everything as you work your way through the game. Studying after these three games with other grammar structure material is great for the N5-N1 tests and will be worth it if you're that die-hard about learning this language. When a steam sale shows up, get all three games PLUS the studying materials from the Kanji game.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →While it does not substitute other methods of learning Kanji, it sure does help.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Interesting way to learn Japanese. You can choose between experience (Hiragana) or no experience (Romaji, (the English form of Japanese). Even though it's a fun game, it's best if you take some notes while you play unless you're good at memorizing them. Other than that, good story plot and soundtrack.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Good fun way to learn and refresh myself on some Kanji. going into this game I was already able to recognize around 200 or so different Kanji, but this gave me a much better understanding of Kunyomi and Onyomi than anything else I've used thus far. I also got the study guide, and flash card "DLC" I'm a little disappointed that the flash cards don't cover all of the kanji within the game, only 80 of the 240 different kanji are in it. as of writing this review I have not completed the game. I'm…
