Instead, this is a journey. Most of all, a journey of imagination. And that imagination COULD lead to learning a lot of stuff.
A WORLD OF MONSTERS
MONSTERS OF KANJI is a simple oldschool RPG. It is filled to the brim with secrets and collectables. Most of them come in the form of Japanese kanji or vocabulary. For those interested in the language this serves as a great way to review their knowledge. For everyone else these collectables unlock alternate color skins for the main characters. But never are any of them mandatory to complete the game. MONSTERS OF KANJI is meant to be played by Japanese enthusiasts as well as any JRPG-fan who doesn't have a clue what "sugoi" means.

I have really enjoyed my time playing Monsters of Kanji. Don´t expect this game to teach all about Japanese, but it can be used as a tool to review some of the basic grammar and vocabulary (1900 words). The story itself is good and you can see the love the creator put into making this game. Not a AAA game, but i would recommend it to anyone who enjoys an rpg game or indie games.
Monsters of Kanji is a classic (J)RPG in which you follow a storyline, explore the world and fight a lot. As I'm not much of a writer, I'm adding some pros and cons based on my personal game experience.
+++ Good story!
+ Likeable characters
+ Original monster design
+ Good balancing (I played normal mode)
+ Optional content for explorers
+ I personally like the art style (monsters > maps)
+ Music
+ Cutscenes (kind of manga-like sequences)
+ Good reading exercise for Japanese learners :)
- Some long ways to go (ancient archive, going back to the market, ...)
- Pacing is rather slow, thus the gameplay experience sometimes becoming a bit repetitive
- Short dialogs, sometimes cut a bit abrupt
All in all, I really enjoyed the game and can definitely recommend it if you like classic (J)RPG gameplay and storytelling.
This game is pretty difficult. Not gameplay-wise, so much as Kanji related. I've been studying some basic Kanji from textbooks and apps, but this one throws you in with no hand-holding whatsoever. How it stands as an a game without the Kanji learning is still beyond me as I can only remember a few dozen symbols a day. I haven't gotten that far story-wise but if you're looking to supplement your Kanji studies and review them without the boring writing of symbols over and over, I highly recommend this game.
If anyone is using Heisig's methods of Kanji learning, this is the perfect supplementary to it. There's a lot of intuition involved but you'll be able to make your own mnemonics and stories based on how the symbols are presented with the monsters you need to fight.
Again, I highly recommend this game as a supplementary to traditional learning material.
Review updated after about 10 hours played:
Monsters of Kanji is a classic-style, old-fashioned RPG. You explore a world, level up, learn skills, find companions and battle monsters in turn-based combat.
As for the Japanese language, think of the 1,900 words as completely optional collectibles - some of which are sneakily hidden in secret areas. You can ignore them and still enjoy the game in full, but if you *do* decide to look at every signboard to unlock a new word, you'll gradually fill up the "Ancient Archive" which will reward you with cosmetic changes to your hero and his allies. For the studious, you can use this archive as a language-review center if you so wish.
I've not actually played a retro RPG before, and I'm really surprised by just how huge this game is. It just keeps opening up and my logbook is full of quests I've barely started on. So there's a lot of value here.
Ultimately, Monsters of Kanji is an enjoyable adventure with a sprinkling of language-learning. Expect to make friends, battle enemies, discover secrets, run out of health syringes, and wish you had more chips, batteries and peanuts.
