Slime Forest Adventure is a language learning game designed by LRNJ.com [1]. It teaches Japanese characters through a retro-styled RPG. [1] Based on the Japanese model, combat is controlled by the user recognising and typing the on-screen characters in a manner similar to the Sega game The Typing of the Dead. [2]
Slime Forest Adventure includes over 2000 kanji in addition to the hiragana and katakana syllabaries. Unlike many other language-teaching games, Slime Forest is a fully functioning RPG even without its educational function. [1]
This idea was copied for the unofficial game Knuckles in China Land which uses graphics derived from the popular Sonic the Hedgehog franchise.
