An interesting game I plan to play to the end. I've been teaching myself a language for about 4-5 years, through books, games, and apps. So I thought I'd check out this game. It's cutesy without being kiddy. The world is drained of color, and you must bring the color back by unpacking "nouns", studying them, and 'speaking' them (you don't need a microphone). Though, I do wish there were more direct translations of phrases when speaking to NPCs. Example: An NPC says "I want the world to be everyone's world" in my word-to-word translation, because I'm already decently into my chosen language. But when the game translates the same phrase, they translate it to "I want world peace". Like, yeah, that's what they mean... but is that REALLY what they said? Not really. It's like that for a lot of NPC communication. "(Game language) Do you have anything not answered?/(Game translation) Anything else?" It's the 'implied' translation, instead of the 'actual' translation. But so far, talking to NPCs is just a small part of the game, and there's still much learning to do. A game for "intermediate" learners. Recommended

Update: All progress lost. After completing nearly everything in game and despite LINK backups every time there appears to be no recovery option short of the developer's recommendation to another player of just start over. The beauty of the saved progress is that there is a nice review of most of the material in "Learning rush" and "SRS Revisions", however these are of no help if the backed up save is not recoverable. I will keep this as a thumbs up review because there is a lot to learn in the game, however buyer-beware you may lose all your progress at any time with little recourse beyond starting over. -------------------- While this game offers a range of words to learn, the translations of words to the objects displayed are sometimes wrong. Ex. A slow cooker is displayed, english: cooker, french: la cuisinière (wrong, la mijoteuse is correct). Or displaying léopard for cheetah when guépard is correct. Memorizing the proper words to objects seems a basic and minimum bar for a language learning game and at times this one falls short. Assuming the translation to objects issue gets fixed: The progress is rather slow and boring except for a section called "Learning Rush" which offers timed word review in the form of a simple mini-game (choose among four objects based on various words spoken). There are conversation interactions with NPCs, however it is a leap forward in difficulty offering very little beyond a basic introduction to a variety of sentences. Daily reviews of things learned are bundled into a section called "Revisions" which offer some measure of learning benefit in speaking and word memorization, however there is very little play value here in what should be a game. Learning numbers and colors are also provided in environmental interaction, but again a player spends more time throwing bolts at broken robots than in learning the corresponding numbers associated. Noun town does offer a fairly large number of vocabulary to learn which is a positive. If you can get past some of the more boring bits and repeatedly review the words you will learn them. --------------- CONCLUSION: A learning game should first be accurate and fun. This is not often achieved in this game, however there are not a lot of language learning games on steam, therefore: Buy, but wait for it to be under $10 and have other sources for learning and verifying the language.

i'm a heritage mandarin speaker trying to improve my poor vocabulary. among other issues, a couple sentences i encountered in this game were grammatically incorrect (poorly translated from english, most notably "我想下雪“ as "I want snow"), there are some bugs (like i say the correct sentence, but the sentence its comparing to is repeated like three times in a row), and i nearly had an aneurysm trying to get it to accept my pronunciation of 驴 (which is fair since it's one of the harder tones, but gosh, five minutes of enunciating a million times only to get transcriptions that were completely off). all that being said, i think this is a good game for vocabulary, and i like the gameplay; most bugs can be skipped with a button, and the majority of dialogue is fine. just use this game for speaking, reading, and vocab, NOT for grammar or to contextualize words. i tried japanese as well, but i can't speak on how accurate that dialogue is, because i don't know japanese. anyway, good early access game. eagerly awaiting bug fixes. happily populating my anki decks. is it worth $20? probably not yet, but it's a good supplement.

I have been studying Mandarin Chinese for well over 6 years now and I am not fluent, but I can hold conversations and use advanced grammar. My aim in using this was to grow my vocabulary in a more immersive environment. Overall, the game is an immersive language game that brings a twist to language-learning that is well-needed. It is practical and useful to whomever wants to "level up" their learning experience! Get it? I made a pun... anyways... the games are useful in memory retention and the premise of the game is unique. However, there are still major flaws in the game. The Chinese tone detection leaves a lot to be desired. I am not sure if this goes for the other languages you can learn through the game, but Japanese and especially Chinese are tone-heavy for word meaning. It is very frustrating that the voices they use have a tone inflection, but when you try to use it, it doesn't pick up what you are saying. Most words, I cannot use the voice detection for. I know that I have the correct pronunciation, but it will just count them as wrong. Not to mention, if you take your time saying a sentence, it will cut you off and say it's wrong. I know that it took me at least a year to say sentences without it sounding choppy. For those who are still beginners, this will be frustrating. I really hope the tone detection will be fixed. It is quite infuriating to say the least.

This is a very cute concept for a game, however, there are a few things I will note. 1) This is definitely more geared towards intermediate learners (based on the Japanese learning path alone). This game assumes that you already know some basics of the language and immediately exposes you to Kanji and also doesn't allow for slowing the NPCs' speech down. 2) The voice recognition is a bit flimsy. There were moments where I said the words exactly how they're pronounced, but the game heard me incorrectly and wouldn't let me pass no matter what I tried. 3) The overall control movement of the character feels a little stiff. That being said, this is still a very fun game and I plan on continuing to play with it.
