The Reviews are in!

"We rarely post an entire blog dedicated to one learning app – but we think that this is hands down the best video game that you can use to improve your Japanese learning (and it’s also free)."

"It’s a great way to learn kanji for beginners, and a fun alternative to cards for advanced students, since you can import your Anki, WaniKani, and Koohii decks, as well as a fun game in general"

"Kanji Drop is also a kind of anti-stress for the eyes and brain, which makes learning Japanese through this game not only unique and interesting, but also enjoyable and relaxing"

"[U]sers will be pleased with the colorful design, which allows them to escape from external stimuli and plunge into the world of learning the language of the great samurai with joy."

We are on a mission to make learning more accessible and fun! Please support our cause.

Ever play a game and then feel accomplished, only to have the feeling fade immediately when you realize you actually did not do much for yourself intellectually or professionally?

What if you could play games that were just as fun, but when you're done, you not only feel as accomplished but now you know something new - like a new language.

That is the mission of Riot Shield Games and we need your help! Please make an in-app purchase or click on our crowdfunding links here to support us. Thank you!

Chinese Drop also available!
