Ah where do I start with this game? from the world and exploration to the character design...
there was so much that appealed to me and I enjoyed my first few hours with it a lot
but sadly around the 30 hour mark the vibe changed and got very grindy for no reason.
This post is mostly spoiler free but there are screenshots with barely any context, if at all.
Pro's
- Story is decent, relaxing game overall.
- Colourful cast of characters.
- Wonderfully detailed fantasy setting.
- F2P players have still a chance of putting together beautiful outfits.
Grey area
- Some bugs but things are very actively being fixed.
- Some conditions to craft the miracle dress are a bit much.
Con's
- Only four slots to save dresses in, at time of writing.
- Warp spires prior to activation aren't shown on the map.
- 10th ability dress is from a gacha banner..............
The game is mostly very light and fun, mostly everything is simply from collecting
whimstars to chests, sketches and ingredients nothing ever gave me
a headache except some of those domains that reward a whimstarand crafting the miracle dress.💀 Which unfortunately turned the game into
micromanaging the daily allowance just to see the ending. **Thank god for fragile resin
I'll be upfront Infinity Nikki is a gacha game but luckily the banners that were there
at launch didn't really interest me except butterfly dream and there was only 1 paid outfit
that I bought which can be gotten by paying only 1$ aka the cozy adventure set.
Also there were plenty of clothing and accessories and hairstyles
to get while simply playing the game which is a good thing!
There's three sets of costumes to be gotten from the depressed bear; Kilo, by collecting orbs
as well as the cinderella dress you can buy with bling's aka Infinity Nikki's ingame currency
like Mora from genshin. Sadly you need to buy everything else in the boutique first...
I don't recommend doing this unless you really like that dress or an outfit piece
as the requirements to craft the miracle dress also needs bling & threads. Both of those things
are a huge resource drain. As long as you do your daily tasks, explore and turn in materials
bling,threads or shiny orbs shouldn't be too much of a problem but it still doesn't change the fact
you may find yourself going broke in game along the way whether its because
of the cinderella dress or the miracle dress or in my case the fearless butterfly outfit.
Some people already crafted the dress but you never know if they bought the battlepass
or other packages... which gives plenty of bling along with other things. I don't think
Genshin ever made me grind that much to see the mainstory... but I guess its different here huh?
still I did get the fearless butterfly so i'm part of the problem. Anything can be done
in infinity Nikki F2P but in regards to the miracle dress it will require patience.
I don't think the dev's were that stingey though as the Nikki birthday costume
was free during the launch window along with the far and away set for pre-registration
both sets are very gorgeous you'd mistake them for a 5star outfit.
While I was playing the game I wondered how this game was even F2P
but at the end it all makes sense, I almost didn't feel bad to spend on it
so becareful I guess. Keep track of how much you spend on infinity nikki
and if necessary set a monthly limit to protect yourself.
and you slowly got to uncover the mystery behind an incident which had the world in its grasp.
Overall i'd say the story was decent, this still seems like a beginning
even though it took me like 30+ hours to finish... the initial release that is.
You get introduced to the world and get new abilitie, its pretty much laid out like an RPG
there's some platforming and very light combat but none of it was overly difficult.
Most of the story was paced well but I did think it dragged a little at times especially
in wishing woods but then again I liked the twist and turns so it wasn't that bad.
Hello there...👀 |
The characters were a varied bunch, I liked most from the handsome Giovanni
to the pixie merchant Timis... not even the mascot companion
Momo was annoying and I found him to be actually helpful.
Also let's not forget about Giroda... or Raggy for that matter!
The dialogue was kind of funny at times too!
The protagonist Nikki seemed to have her wits about her... perhaps too well!
other than that she didn't seem to be too bothered by suddenly being in an unknown world
but I suppose its better than her being whiney, angsty or something like that.
Due that its hard to dislike this game cuz even the protagonist seemed
to be enjoying herself, so why shouldn't the player try to do so too?
The things I enjoyed the most were slowly progressing the story and collecting things
while exploring the world which looked really nice. I am amazed by how gorgeous
the graphics and characters models are in this game! the music was nice too.
Let's not forget about the photomode, the world is so detailed you could take pictures forever.
Other than that I think it was relatively smooth in terms of fps, switching dresses
to jump or attack or gather insects/fish/groom animals made me feel like some magical girl.More rambles after the jump, I am generally very positive
about this game since I think it is genuinely fun to play! but I did
have some gripes which causes me to worry about the future of the game.
