Game Description

Hello. We are the Korea Baduk Association, an association representing the Korean Baduk community.
To promote Baduk among children, we have developed 'Legend of Baduk'.

Legend of Baduk is an educational Baduk game designed to help young players learn the game in an easy and enjoyable way.
Departing from the traditional turn-based format, the game introduces a real-time capturing system that makes the learning process more engaging and dynamic.
Through various content such as Adventure Land, the Tower of Trials, and the Training Grounds, children can naturally grasp the fundamentals of Baduk as they grow and progress.

■ Forest Land – Real-Time Capturing!
The animals of the forest have been consumed by darkness.
Follow the tutorial to master the “Capture” technique and quickly surround and purify the monsters in each stage.
But hurry — if filth fills up, you’ll lose your chance to purify them!

■ Water Land – Life & Death and Baduk Rules!
In Water Land, you'll tackle life and death problems and learn key Baduk rules like Ko and forbidden moves.
You’ll also train advanced techniques like ladder, net, and snapback.
Master them all to challenge the boss monster — the fearsome Kraken!

■ Fire Land – Openings, Corner Pattern, Endgame & Scoring!
Fire Land is where you’ll prepare for real matches.
Train your understanding of openings, corner pattern, flow of the moves, endgame tactics, and scoring.
Defeat the final boss Agni, and you’ll be ready to face real opponents!

■ Face Off Against Powerful Monster AI!
As you sharpen your basics, you’ll obtain a mysterious ticket —
an invitation to face the mighty Monster AI in ranked matches!
With 80 levels ranging from 30 kyu to 15 kyu, show off the skills you’ve mastered along your journey.

■ Training Grounds, Tower of Trials, and Customization!
Train your brain with Baduk puzzles for beginners to intermediates in the Training Grounds, test your current skills in the Tower of Trials, and enjoy customizing your avatar and board with a variety of skins!

Time is running out, Hero.
Are you ready to join us and save the world through the game of Baduk?

### 5/5 — 바둑 배우기 좋아요

*2026-05-27*

아이가 바둑 학원을 다녀서 알게 된 앱인데 좋아요. 가정에서 바둑을 함께 해 줄 실력이없는데 이 앱이 있어서 다행입니다 ㅎ

**Developer response:** 안녕하세요. 한국기원입니다. 소라보이님, 이용 후 따뜻한 의견 남겨주셔서 감사합니다. 아이가 바둑을 배우는 과정에서 가정에서도 함께 활용할 수 있는 앱이 되었다니 뜻깊게 생각합니다. 앞으로도 어린이들이 쉽고 재미있게 바둑을 배울 수 있도록 꾸준히 개선해 나가겠습니다.

### 5/5 — 소리가 안나여

*2026-05-09*

살면서 해본 게임 중 가장 유익하고 이만한 좋은 게임이 없다고 생각하는데 블루투스 이어폰를 끼먄 소리가 나고 그냥 생 스피커에서는 소리가 안납니다.  아이폰 2개인데 둘다 그래요ㅠ

**Developer response:** 안녕하세요. 한국기원입니다. 쵸뱝려벼님, 좋은 말씀과 함께 불편 사항을 남겨주셔서 감사합니다. 블루투스 이어폰에서는 소리가 나지만 아이폰 스피커에서는 출력되지 않는 현상은 확인이 필요합니다. 앱 재실행, 무음 모드 및 음량 설정 확인 후에도 동일하다면 badukcs@baduk.or.kr로 기기 정보와 상황을 보내주시면 확인하겠습니다. 감사합니다.

### 5/5 — Better than Baduk pop

*2026-04-05*

This is potentially the best way for beginners to learn the intricacies of GO while maintaining fun. Many apps are either too surgical and complicated to get beginners hooked or are simply too boring. The combination of levels and skill acquisition makes this game awesome for anyone trying to understand GO without getting bogged down by boring plain boards and hard to understand concepts too early. Highly recommend!

**Developer response:** Hello. This is the Korea Baduk Association.
QuinnSames_04, thank you for your wonderful review. We are thrilled to hear that our combination of levels and skill acquisition helps beginners learn Go in a fun and engaging way. We will continue to do our best to provide an enjoyable learning experience. Highly recommend!

### 5/5 — 기초배우는데 딱

*2025-12-03*

업데이트좀 해주세요ㅠㅠ

—————————————-
아들이 바둑에 빠져있어서 저도 아들과 놀아줄겸 설치하고 하고 있는데 그래픽도 타 바둑 게임에 비해 예쁘고 반복은 있지만 확실하게 익힐수 있을것 같네요. 
바둑 입문자에게 추천합니다

**Developer response:** 안녕하세요. 한국기원입니다.
캘런베일님, 아드님과 함께 바둑을 즐기기 위해 저희 앱을 선택해 주셔서 감사합니다. 타 게임 대비 예쁜 그래픽과 반복 학습을 통한 확실한 효과를 좋게 평가해 주셔서 큰 보람을 느낍니다. 요청하신 업데이트에 대해서는 현재 내부적으로 새로운 콘텐츠를 준비 중입니다. 더 유익한 서비스로 보답하겠습니다. 감사합니다.

### 5/5 — 넘 재밌어요

*2025-10-17*

우리 6살 아들 불의나라까지 깨고 업데이트 기다리고 있어요 ㅎㅎ 지난주에 바둑학원 등록했는데 등록하자마자 유치부 최강자 되었어요 ㅠㅠㅠ

### 5/5 — THE Go app for beginners

*2025-08-15*

I’m not a complete beginner, but still in the early stages of learning the game. This app accomplishes something that is very hard to do: teach the rules and basic strategies of the Go while making it fun and easy to understand. If you’ve been you’re curious about this game but don’t know where to start, this is the app for you.

### 5/5 — 앱이 귀엽고 재미있네요~

*2025-08-05*

아이들을 위해 만든 어플이라는 생각이 들었는데, 어른이 즐기기에도 손색이 없습니다. 출퇴근 길에 잠깐잠깐씩 하는데 인터페이스도 귀엽고 설명도 잘 되어있고 재미요소도 충분해 강추합니다.

### 5/5 — 게임처럼 바둑을

*2025-07-27*

게임하며 바둑도 배우고 AI로 기력 측정도 가능합니다^^

### 5/5 — More than meets the eye

*2025-07-25*

This app has a “campaign” mode that it funnels you into and it’s a great on-rails experience.

If you already know something about go and want to jump around, you may want to check out the “Training” section where you can jump to any lesson topic.
