Contact Language Game Support

At first I absolutely love this game, but then I realize there was one critical issue. One of the daily quests requires that you explore a new area and in order to explore a new area you have to advance your vocabulary (add new words/challenges). This is perfectly fine if you’re someone who already knows Spanish or possibly someone who is trying to refresh their skills but if you’re someone like me that has no knowledge of the language then this gamification is going to either have you not making progress and therefore feeling like are failing your daily requirements or you are going to push yourself too far too quickly (like I did) and end up overwhelmed with a ton of vocabulary that you don’t know. I messaged support about this and suggested they remove that one daily requirement but it’s been months and it’s still there. Also, if you have something happen in life that takes you away from the game and you lose a bit of your skills/knowledge there’s no way to drop yourself down and work on previous lessons so once again you’re trying to learn a LOT of vocabulary at once. I was enjoying this game and was going to purchase the $60 annual membership but since they can’t fix this one major issue I can’t recommend this game, which is sad because this has a LOT of potential. Gamification is suppose to be motivational but instead it’s forcing you to progress at a pace that might not fit you.

Really liked this game at first, but then got very discouraged when given three crates to catch other beasts and failed each time. The first crate I did not know how to use it property, but game forced me to use it without any tutorial and the other two crates it was too fast or the language got very difficult very quickly and it broke the crate on first try. Each crate costs a lot of money and there is no guarantee that you will get a beast even a common one. The timer on this game also bothers me a lot as I have a learning disability and sometimes I need a few more minutes to get something and being rushed makes it difficult to complete the game. I like how you can set the difficulty on the game, but it does not work when it comes to catching beasts and it goes to hardest automatically pushing you to fail automatically if you don't get the answers fast enough. There are no second chances when it comes to catching a beast you just lose the trap automatically if not done correctly in a fast pace environment.

So i like the game aspect of this, i think they introduce words well and all that, that isn’t where i have my issue. My issue comes from combat being based both on correct answers and time it takes to answer. This isn’t great for people who take longer to read in any language, this is especially difficult if the language isn’t using the latin alphabet. I’m learning Russian, so i’m having to remember a whole new alphabet, read and process it quickly, i’m a native english speaker and i can’t even do that with english! At least when i came into this i already knew the alphabet because i’m using this to supplement my duolingo lessons as well. I also find it very unfair that people at a much higher level, using the fluency pass can be matched with you in PvP. 90% of the questions i am left guessing on.

I’m not going to give up on playing, but thats my two cents on it. I am otherwise happy with the game, and do think it will help solidify and further my learning.
