What players say
Players describe it as a kanji review tool rather than a teaching game. Many find it overpriced with a dated, clunky interface that cuts off characters on some screens. Controls can feel unresponsive with a trackpad, and you can only review up to 8 characters at a time, which makes progress tedious. Fans say it works well for reinforcing kanji learned elsewhere.
