Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
75 of 247 sampled reviews raised it
The narrative is fun and the comedy always hits home, (to the point I was actually laughing aloud at the 'Cat girl' and parts with the bees).
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
22 of 247 sampled reviews raised it
As a method of learning, it's exceptional and my progression in Japanese has improved more in days than it did in MONTHS of trying to learn from textbooks and online lessons.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
17 of 247 sampled reviews raised it
The graphics are a little bit rudimentary (which is to be expected as this isn't a AAA developer working with a team of people) but the mechanics, writing and (in particular) voice acting compete with most other games I've played.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
11 of 247 sampled reviews raised it
The story is also fun and often funny, and the 'combat' is a fun flash-card style exercise for remembering the words and phrases.
