What players say
Players enjoy the game as a fun way to learn Japanese through a Slay the Spire-like deckbuilder, praising the ability to customize what to study. However, many note that enemies are unbalanced, combat feels unfair due to no healing, and the game is still rough in early access with some crashes.
