I can jump in, complete a lesson, wander the world map and fight enemies in different areas, each enemy being one of the Hiragana characters you are learning, and only be knowing what it is can you even hit it to defeat it. There are probably better ways to learn Japanese, and maybe better ways to learn Hiragana, but there are not better ways for me to learn either of these things. It is exactly the crowd who does want to learn Japanese! Granted, this is a very niche audience of nostalgic rpg gamers who are also interested in learning Japanese, but at the same time, it’s the perfect medium for this particular language. Sounds like a rave review, right? It is just engaging enough to keep you going back for the next set of characters. I’m not going to lie to you and tell you there’s anything special about the gameplay, story, graphics, or really anything. Hiragana Battle is built on what appears to be Rpgmaker and is your standard jRpg from the 80’s and 90’s. But all that was different, and while I do recommend you go to or for a nostalgia fix, I’m talking about a game that is useful to adults.

Shout out to Math Blaster, Gizmos and Gadgets, Treasure Cove, Midnight Rescue, and who can forget Where in the World is Carmen San Diego. I played my share of educational games as a kid. I don’t want to bore you with edutainment games, but it was a little refreshing to see this pop up while I browsed through endless droves of the same mindless murder-fests I’ve been playing since grade school. I am talking about Learn Japanese to Survive! Hiragana Battle. In yet another dig through Steam’s infinite library of obscurity I stumbled upon something terribly unique that, if I’m honest, really shouldn’t be.
