Seriously, if you want to learn Japanese, get Wagotabi! This game is a solid 5 stars for me. The way they've designed the conversations is brilliant; it's super immersive and I love seeing how they branch out and get more complex the more you play. Learning Kanji integrated into the gameplay is fantastic too, makes it feel so much less like a chore. Oh, and big shoutout to the art style and music – gives me major vibes of that certain monster capture game, which definitely adds to the charm.

played up to the latest update 4/2025, and this app is impressive. as a beginner, I couldn't recommend this enough. While the development is ongoing, what it has is incredible. the mini-game for kana definitely helped hammer in those, and the vocab match game still teaches me. the grammar explanations are well done, and the gameplay itself is incredibly immersive. I'll admit some parts are tough but worth it, and make sense when you figure them out. 10 stars, can't wait for further development. Edited

This is by far the best app I have used for learning Japanese! Sure, Duolingo has more vocabulary and whatnot at the moment, but Duo is awful when it comes to teaching about tense, politeness, and different verb forms. Wagotabi not only has a tool for explaining the differences, it also has you practice those skills in a fun, easy-to-learn way. I highly recommend Wagotabi for anyone looking to learn Japanese!

Can't sing this games praises more! As someone who has used books like MNN and Genki (even taking 2 years worth of courses), having this as an immersion training companion would have been invaluable to me. Being forced to *gradually* use/read more and more Japanese as the game progresses makes learning Japanese grammar and vocab feel so natural! highly recommended for anyone starting to learn Japanese. And please keep adding more content, up to N1!

This game is fun, effective, and informative This goes beyond teaching just the language, but also including the local geography and culture of the areas you visit. With a one-time purchase, no ads, and the ability to play offline, this game checks EVERY BOX. No other tool, video, or game I've tried (save for the dictionary itself) has been as helpful for my language learning journey. Kudos to the developers, you've got something amazing here.
