This game certainly isn't the best, however I would personally say it is worth the 20 USD. It is buggy and at times it crashes, though it is unfair to expect much more from a game that has been released for five days. Despite this, the art style is easy on the eyes and the game serves its purpose of emersing you in a place of the chosen language. As for the translation, the seven (i think) base languages are well translated and are great, though the community translations (the other languages like hungarian, danish and dutch) aren't the best. In addition to this, I enjoyed the world that the game lets you explore and the worldbuilding the game has. Overall, if you want to learn Russian, Chinese, French, german, Japanese, or Spanish, this is a great game. Otherwise, I probably wouldn't suggest it.. It's a good game, but it seems too advanced for any beginner in any language, except maybe Spanish or French. I don't think I'd recommend it for language learning, sorry.. I think this is a good start to a game, but I feel at its current stage, it should be labeled alpha, and it should have a story line. Right now, I can't tell if there is even a story line.. I love language learning and wanted to check out a new approach. Actually I heard about this game quite a while ago when it wasn't published yet. Now I tested it and this saying: I learnt a couple of languages already so I'm not new to language learning.
Pros:
- New setting
- Good graphics
- Intriguing story
Cons:
- Too slow progress. I played 20 minutes and learnt 1 word. The games states 40 words, but I can only recall one word actively. With other apps I can learn 10-20 wordsactively in 5-10 minutes (e.g. Duolingo, LingQ, Anki).
- Only translations for words you "learnt" already in the boxes. I'd like to translate the sentences manually and not wait until the game thinks I'm "ready"
- Character and hare far too slowly moving. I insulted my hare frequently because she didn't walk faster xD
Now I'm hoping for refund since I'm not going to use this game for language learning.. As with the release day of any game, the game is very buggy at the moment and that should almost be expected as it happens to all games. What doesn't happen for all games though, is having an understanding and dedicated developer who will listen to every complaint and work towards fixing things quickly. Playing through the game for the first time I reported every bug I found, and got an acknowledgement of it and effort toward fixing it. So I am sure this game will work out its bugs and polish up considerably in the future.
The current price tag may seem a little steep, but some things to keep in mind is that unlike other language learning games like Influent, you are buying ALL the languages currently offered on Lingotopia all at once, and likely all future languages that will be offered on Lingotopia as well. You get the plethora of officially supported languages, but also the long list of unofficial languages as well (Which are being constantly updated by the community) At the current moment, buying this game for just one language probably isn't worth it, but if you are looking at it as buying a game for 4 languages (Like I am), then now it is a language resource that is more like 5$ per language.
The developer is very passionate about the game however and I think we could see much more content added in the future, so I think this game will do better than some of the other first day reviews might suggest. I have found myself enjoying this game more the more I have played it.. I've been excited for this game since I first saw it on Kickstarter, as I thought it would be an interesting way to learn Japanese, a language I have fallen in love with. Unfortunately, I was unable to support it at the time, but it appears that I may have dodged a bullet. I bought this expecting it to be a great way to help myself learn a new language. Instead, what I got for my not insignificant \u00a315 was a glitchy, infuriating mess. The player character, as well as their guide, clipped through every conceivable object. The handling on the player character was so similar to that of a broken shopping trolley that I often felt I got to my destination in spite of the controls. There were many spelling errors in the English, and I had to force quit because the game didn't feel like continuing. I was incredibly disappointed, and I feel like \u00a315 was far too much to pay for such a broken game.
EDIT:
It has been a few days since the game has been released, and the developer has done a wonderful job of fixing bugs and other quality of life changes. It pleases me to say that I can now recommend this game. The only problem I have with it now is that the player character still handles like a tank, and the game is padded slightly by the character feeling like they're walking through treacle. Apart from that, however, it is a great way to expand your passive vocabulary in a language.. Just had to come back here and check if it states "Alpha" or "Early Access" or "Rip-Off" somewhere.
... Nope.. I want to leave a review here because many people gave bad review because of the bugs in this game. I can definitely say that a lot of those bugs are fixed quickly by the devs and by version 1.02 it is playable for me. There are some more things I would like to be changed by the devs such as the movement controls which feel like driving a tank, but I'm sure the devs are working on it and I will update this review when the devs changed the movement system.
As for learning the language? Yeah, it really feels like you are dumped in a strange environment with a strange language that you must learn to understand what the people are saying. Really helps with the immersion problem I've been having when learning a new language. I managed to learn extremely quickly using this game, so I say this game really achieves the goal of helping people learn a new language.
It is rare seeing a language learning game like this in Steam, other than Influent as far as I know, but it's good that we're having more of these games. I am sure the devs will quickly fix the bugs and the controls in time, so if you're reading this devs, please don't get discouraged by the bad reviews, okay?
Oh and thank you for making this game, it really helps my language learning!. I paid $20 for this game. I cannot believe I did that. This is at most a $5 game. Absolutely rife with bugs. Gameplay is very boring and feels like an amateur high school project. Many flaws that hinder gameplay and enjoyment and unless you feel like joining the discord to pester a defensive dev to fix them, they will most likely not be fixed, since the dev has stated that he is not interested in updating the game any further. Having played the game in both a language I know and a language I don't, I feel like beginners would learn very little of their target language, and certainly not enough to 'supplement' their language learning journey. Clearly the dev did little research into language learning. Absolute scam.
