Description

Find out why this app is one of the fastest-growing kanji learning games in 2022. It's a game that teaches you Japanese kanji and it's chock full of puzzle-solving action.

Kanji Apocalypse will put a smile on your face while studying kanji; learn 2.000 kanji within a year.

Want to travel to Japan and impress by reading the restaurant menu, use the Tokyo subway like a native or be a part of the amazing Japanese social circles? Kanji Apocalypse will help you reach all your goals.

Ran into issues with definitions of some words

Not that they're necessarily wrong, but the definitions were worded poorly. I'm about N2 level and got some very simple words wrong due to this. Therefore I don't find this a very effective way to study right now and don't see why it's premium only. The way the game plays though is rather fun for a kanji game.

Developer Response ,

Hi. The next major version has implemented more dictionary like wordings in all kanjis and also let the user order by JLPT level. It will be out soon(ish). That I use premium is to basically allow players to try out the game for a while before buying the whole game which only seems fair. If you have any other ideas on monetisation that would fit you better feel free to send it my way on https://kanjiapocalypse.com/feedback/

Free play is a lie

Once you’ve unlocked all the skills available in the free version, you can’t proceed any further. You get locked on the skill tree and can only spend your points to continue. But if all the free skills have been acquired, the only option is to pay. You can’t progress without spending skill points.

Developer Response ,

This is true. I will update the monetization method soon to let free users have more fun with the game. Right now though I’m swamped with adding more gameplay mechanics.
