Best game ever

So honestly been playing the game since it first released. It is by far one of the most fun and addicting games I’ve played in a while. The graphics are amazing, the storyline is so captivating that it keeps you on your toes wanting to see what happens next. The side quests are funny. The events that the developers have released are intense with suspense of what will happen next. Stories that connect every NIKKE without fully revealing the story. The character design is on peak and the available costumes are amazing. Being able to interact with the NIKKEs is very intriguing and definitely seeing their individual story as you progress your intimacy level is fun also. I would recommend to the developers to add Marians OG costume as an option hopefully in the future. I honestly cannot wait for this upcoming year. The winter event is captivating as it is and I honestly recommend this game to anyone who wants to experience the fun and dynamic gameplay. Not only beautiful NIKKEs to be able to collect and take command in the field but also the amazing graphics, the storyline which just captivates you from the very beginning and even customizable main menu with different in-game music and backgrounds just gives the player more control. Truly an amazing game. And to top it off it is also available to play on laptops! (Not Macs unfortunately) I do own a Mac so I hope the developers are able to make it available there too!

More than just a waifu gacha

I’m gonna be honest, this game is NOT what it looks like at first glance. One might expect copious amounts of fan service, some rudimentary story mode or daily challenges, and a heavy emphasis on getting the player to spend money. Nikke does the first one admittedly, but the rest completely outshines anything on the market. Each Nikke has their own personality and story, feeling unique but believable, like they could be real people with real lives. I’m not even done with the story and I’ve been playing for a YEAR, that’s at least an hour a day for 330-some days, skipping any breaks I might’ve taken. The breadth and depth of the story feels like something you’d find on console or PC title that costs MONEY. There’s so many little events and side modes to play, it’s pretty much impossible to find yourself bored with the game. My only comment is on the luck system with gacha pulling. It’s MERCILESS. You can save up for two premium even ten-draws and come up with nothing, it’s ruthless and my only gripe about this game, especially as a free-to-play user. Speaking of f2p, one thing that startled me about the game is its lack of ads. Not that I expected any, but a game this fleshed-out and, well, just GOOD, seems too good to make its money back through gacha and IAP alone, so I’m surprised there’s no ads hidden somewhere. In the end, good stuff, I’d definitely recommend you download.

Favorite Game

Dear Level Infinite/Shift Up, or any developer seeing this. This has been my favorite game to play over the past year and it has amazed me how much this game has come since. I still remember my first day playing and how heartbreaking it was watching Marian die. I’ve only ever had one issue with this game, and that’s my gacha luck, I almost never get legendaries and missed out on A2 from the NieR crossover because it took 50 draws just to get 2B. I’ve also have only gotten Modernia once out of 2,600 draws, with over 100 on her banners total. My commander name is SHARKY and have been here since day 1. I never even thought of getting the game until my mind switched one day and was like why not pre-order it since this was when it was advertised everywhere before release. Even though I’m only on chapter 20, or so just about to start it, I still love how the main story is revolved around Marian/Modernia since the events of Marian drove the commander to defend Nikkes. It would be fun to see on either the 1.5 year anniversary or 2 year anniversary, another costume poll with “Marian” as the costume for “Modernia.” I’ve also have been collecting relics in real life to represent Marian since she is my favorite character in the game even though she was only alive for 2 chapters. Keep up the good work development team, and I can’t wait to see how the game turns out in the future! 😊

Okay, what!?

I don’t usually write reviews but I figured this game deserves it. At first I wasn’t really interested in this game as it didn’t look like it would appeal to me, I don’t think I need to explain why. However after getting ad after ad about the game I figured I’d give it a shot. At first I really didn’t enjoy it, the combat is fun and unique, but the character design just really isn’t my thing. BUT after a couple of chapter the game REALLY takes off, some of these boss fights are absolutely insane, and the MUSIC the music is TOP NOTCH. There’s this one level where you’ve been tracking through the snow for hours to find this big snow base, BUT THEN the snow base turns into an enormous enemy, and this freaking sick boss music starts playing to the rhythm of the phase of the boss. Honestly when this game wants to go hard, it goes hard. I just wish it didn’t constantly throw scantly dressed women in your face, and offered characters that can appeal to a wider variety of players. If this game did that, I feel like it would completely destroy the top charts. Nonetheless, so far this game has created some of the most memorable moments in mobile games for me, and I’m completely shocked that the combat is as smooth and fun as it is. Would highly recommend, even if I’m not a fan of the characters. Though, the enemy character design is top notch.

I’m gonna be completely fair

This is only my opinion but I myself like the game a lot it’s fun addictive and the co-op event it’s very fun but…. There are things that I like to consider like a really want to try to spend a little bit of money on some stuff but since I’m still new to the game I rather wait and learn on what’s worth spending setting that a side my issue are as follows: constantly crashing and I’m not saying 1 or 2 times I rather happens A LOT which is really frustrating it doesn’t matter what you are doing it will crash and it tends to be every 30 minutes or every time you do 2 different things idk how to explain really but it’s constantly crashing, the power wall aka the grind I’m having a tuff time to get pass certain levels and while yes it’s still possible you get a damage de buff which it’s noticeable when you are in between 500 to 200 off the required damage, look don’t get me wrong the game is fun and all but if not fix properly like the crashing thing at least you are gonna lose most of your player base and it happens you know now days with triple A games so I hope in a near future it gets patch and valance so we can properly enjoy the story which is what attracted me the most but that’s only my opinion and only what I think should get fix…

Constant disconnects led to wiped account!

I was constantly getting disconnected from the game with multiple different errors after completing a few campaign battles. But the last error said unexpected failure and now when I log in I am starting over from the beginning tutorial… even though I linked my account and it shows my account logged into the right region. Update 2/1/23. Game is definitely more playable so updated starts from 1 to 3. However, I am still getting disconnected at least twice a day when completing dailies, across all of the devices I play on. Once a week or so I am also getting the failed to sync battle data error. Also, not sure why even when I check the box to not display the notice when logging in the rest of the day, it still pops up every time… The idle time of 12 hours max for resources in the outpost defense also doesn’t help the situation, if I log in once a day I’m missing out on half a day or more of resources because the outpost is full… With these issues and the fact that I am starting to hit the wall between 140 and 160 progress has slowed immensely. I will start logging in less which usually leads to a steady decline in satisfaction in the game until I stop playing completely. I imagine many other players have/ are in the middle of/ or quickly approaching the same point in the game. Hopefully the developers change up something, otherwise I see the game loosing traction quickly.

Unrewarding Gameplay

Personally I really enjoy the setting and theme of Nikke. I want to know what happens in the story and looked forward to each story driven mission. However, unlike Destiny Child, you either need to invest an unrealistic (months on top of months of boring dailies) amount of time as a F2P player or invest an unrealistic amount of money; just to progress the campaign. Recruitment currency gains are terribly low unless you are buying them. Even if you do, this doesn’t guarantee success. Clear Data is a nice touch to see comps, however when using the same comp at a higher power level I was still running out of time or having Nikkes getting one-shot. Most of my Nikkes were the same power level individually, or higher. It doesn’t help that some of the raptures required to progress the stage would bug out (i assume) by hiding behind terrain and none of my Nikkes would fire, even manually. I would have to restart the stage. Ultimately, I don’t play games to be forced into a wall. I am looking to have a fun experience. This is not fun, to me. This is pay to have fun (this is also questionable). If the gameplay was the priority, the money would follow without feeling like a necessity. I will check back in a few months, i still feel like there is a lot of potential here.

Not what it looks like, seriously!

As much as it might seem like a fanservice game (which, it is), NIKKE truly goes above and beyond for a mobile RPG. The characters are all developed in an intense and incredibly interesting story, with beautiful animation and art. The gameplay is fun and easy to understand for beginners, and gets difficult enough for seasoned players to enjoy without getting bored. The bosses are HARD, and that’s an understatement. The game is so rewarding to level up in and it’s extremely fulfilling to finally beat that stage you’ve been trying to beat for ages. Every single event has great story, gameplay, minigames, you name it, NIKKE has it! Alongside all this, the gacha is some of the best i’ve seen. It’s extremely easy to get diamonds without paying, and the pull rates are pretty good! Even after that, you don’t necessarily have to have the best characters to succeed. You can build and work with whatever characters you want, and as long as you put in the effort, you’ll be rewarded! The only thing I lament about is the costume gacha, which is incredibly expensive for what it’s providing, but then again, it’s purely cosmetic and doesn’t provide in-game benefits, so I can’t be too mad. Overall, NIKKE is one of the best mobile RPGs out there!
