Learn Japanese to Survive is a language-learning game series that attempts to teach you the letters of the Japanese language. The series plays like a traditional RPG and there are three games: "Hiragana Battle", "Katakana War", and "Kanji Combat." Each game tries to teach you a subset of the Japanese writing system.
I have a modest knowledge of the Japanese language and want to improve myself. I decided to jump into the third game since I was confident in my Hiragana and Katakana knowledge, but I had trouble learning Kanji.
Playing through this game made me realize how I knew more Kanji characters than I thought I did.
I'm impressed at how Kanji Combat uses traditional RPG systems to its advantage. It's not a low-effort RPG Maker game. From the reviews, I heard this entry of the series had a much better gameplay compared to the games before it. The reviews also said you shouldn't be your only source for learning Japanese. I agree with that.
On Steam Deck, Kanji Combat seems to crash sometimes. I'm glad this didn't happen in this recording, but it crashed when I recorded the second video of the playthrough. I decided to end uploading with this first video.
Thanks for watching this playthrough. I hope you enjoyed it.~
