I played almost all the Global Gear games and this was enjoyable like the rest. I don’t speak a lot of Japanese but you don’t really need to in order to understand. But if I did feel the need to translate words I don’t know, I’ll screenshot and translate it through iPhone’s text translate for photos in the photo gallery. Really easy to do. Ads can be annoying sometimes but luckily most of them are short- like 5 seconds-sometimes I’ll close the game and restart since some ads are tricky to close. ( when you press ‘x’ and it keeps opening the App Store) .
