Easy to Understand ★★☆☆☆
- There were a lot of kanjis without furiganas, so it was a bit tough for me. Knowing some basic word for conversation, sales and technical terms would have helped here. I had to select anything to understand how things happened. Maybe N3~N2, I don't know.

Gameplay ★★★☆☆
- It's a store management game in which you assign tasks to Dejiko, Puchiko and Rabi-en-Rose such as cleaning, merchandising, cash registers and attending customers. I had a bit of trouble matching the goods on the right days and the money was always low

Story ★★☆☆☆
- I don't remember if there was any story, but your goal is to reach your shop value at the top! Not my case, got a bad ending.

Easy to Understand ★☆☆☆☆
- Honestly I barely understood 80% what was written, mainly when receiving letters. Sometimes, Miyamoto Musashi repeat to himself what he's just heard "つまり...", and would smooth a bit. However everybody speaks in a traditional way in Edo period making things really harder. I believe a N1 or N2 here is a must.

Gameplay ★★★★☆
- If you are used to Yakuza series, be prepared! Bare-hand attacks are so weak compared to weapons and the system requires lots of skills and quick thinking. It was really challenging and reminded of Way of The Samurai a bit. If you want to take a deep breath, substories are there to give you some laughes.

Story ★★★☆☆
- The story is very interesting and it seems to be based on the story of Musashi Miyamoto in the Edo era! I had a bit of trouble understanding everything, at least I managed to grasp the basics. The characters are from the Yakuza series, but in this game, their characteristics and personalities in the new characters have matched very well.

Easy to Understand ★★★☆☆
- Some key words are marked in blue, which helps a lot what your next target/objecive. It's easy to understand but, if you aren't familiar with magic terms, some words can be tricky. N4 or N5 is enough in my opinion.

Gameplay ★★★★★
- I like how the slime keep gaining new abilities every progress, making this game really fun and not bored. The puzzles aren't so hard either... despite the ninja room where I was stucked for hours!

Story ★★★★☆
- The typical hero you need to save the village against the villains. At first, it seems like that but ending would be a great surprise. The story is cute, simple and great.

Easy to Understand ★★★★★
- Since it was my first game before starting to study, I confess I've struggled a bit to understand some topics. Luckly, some texts uses a lot of hiragana and easy words. I bet a N5 is enough to understand all the game.

Gameplay ★★★☆☆
- The same classic rhythm game the series usually do. What really impressed me is the RPG mode which gives challenges in some matches and even beginners could understand what the next objective is.

Story ★★☆☆☆
- Despite not being the main focus of the game, the story is based in japanese culture and often uses funny dialogs.
