Best video games to learn Bulgarian

Updated 2026-11-04. Rankings are not paid for.

Strandzha Adventures 3D is the top pick, with real Bulgarian voice acting set in the Strandzha mountains.

Bulgarian voice acting is very rare. Steam shows thousands of games ticking the box, but nearly all of them are padded lists. The small Bulgarian games here are the real thing, and more are on the way, including Binded Souls.

What to expect from Bulgarian

Bulgarian uses the Cyrillic alphabet, so learn the letters first.
Nouns do not change for case, unlike most other Slavic languages.
The word for "the" goes on the end of a word.
Verbs have many forms, including ones that show you did not see an event yourself.

Tips for learning Bulgarian with games

Learn Cyrillic first, so subtitles help rather than slow you down.
Watch for word endings that mean "the", such as kniga and knigata.

Strandzha Adventures 3D is the clearest example. Binded Souls is planned with Bulgarian voice too. Most other games that tick the box on Steam do not appear to have it.
