Linguist FPS: The Language Learning FPS

Linguist FPS: The Language Learning FPS is a first-person shooter where you learn a target language by following instructions in that language. You use what you learn to unlock weapons and equipment upgrades, then fight an army of evil robots and try to save the city. The combat is designed to challenge FPS enthusiasts while introducing basic vocabulary; there are no classroom-style quizzes.

Languages

You can choose from these target languages and variants:

• Spanish (Latin American and European)
• French
• German
• Japanese (Kana, Kanji and Romaji)
• Russian
• Ukrainian
• Portuguese
• Italian
• Korean
• Chinese Mandarin (Simplified)
• Pinyin (Mandarin)
• Polish
• Swedish
• English (US, UK and Australian)

Runs and progression

The game uses a roguelike-style structure, so you can expect to die often, especially at first. As your language skills improve, weapons, armor and health become easier to access, helping you survive longer on repeated attempts. Beginners may need about 5 hours of in-game experience to complete the game, though the time depends on how quickly each player learns.

The city

The main game takes place in one large city, with several possible starting locations, alongside a training zone. Supply rooms are procedurally generated and contain random challenges and loot. Each time you respawn, you arrive at a different location with new challenges and equipment to discover.
