Great game, great characters, and fun gameplay, although the gacha part isn't very f2p friendly and isn't in your favor Edit: I've been playing this game since launch, and honestly, although it isn't the worst gacha I've played, it most certainly isn't the best. the game is poorly optimized with way too many in-game menus, meaning it takes ages just to get around. and there's so much more I could complain about, but sadly, I dont have enough room to type it all out.
Reviews for GODDESS OF VICTORY: NIKKE
After 4 months i give up, after maxing out my nikkes i can't even reach the last chapter in story mode, I'm on 24/34 now, i have to wait a month to attempt further because of the only remaining way to continue growing is through events and the "recycling" option. Gotta pay a hell lot if u wanna catch up with money. Don't get it wrong it's a great game, love the characters!, great story, i want to see it through myself, but the growth wall requires ff lot of patience and daily grinds.
Don't get me wrong. It's a great game for what it is. But their optimization when it comes to loading in, (seriously it's over a minute just to start the game!!) and the loading screens, it just takes SO LONG for you to loading into everything! It does get to me, like why should it take a few seconds to go to another menu when most online mobile games are almost instant. If they can improve the UI experience and make things faster, that will be great!
since playing the game around launch, it's been a fun experience, but there's definitely a need to reduce the difficulty on the enemies. there shouldn't be a enemy type that doesn't take damage for a short time only for a game over screen because it's shield still remains. now im at 33 with these ball drone enemies that dodge and bounce all around the screen to KO one or two nikkes. I'm not running a meta team. I just want to get through the story. fix the difficulty.
Let me lead off with a huge complaint. The recruitment gacha in this game sucks. The feature character never has more than a 2% chance of being drawn and it doesn't get better no matter how many times you try. You can "buy" it after 200 trys. Costume gacha is pure money grab. You can ONLY get those spending real money (min $20 usually $60) All other aspects of this game are wonderful. The art, game play, stories, character interactions, everything else is great. I keep playing for those reasons.
I've been playing this game every single day since installed. I wish I could view my account playtime, but I average at 30 hours last month. amazing gameplay, not only the gunplay, but also the stories and squad building. it's very fair compared to other games and has amazing collabs as well, absolutely worth your time. and yes, you can absolutely progress and get an insane amount of content playing for free.
I don't think I've ever encountered such a predatory game. Abysmal drop rates, exorbitant costs ($10 for ONE pull in the recent Red Hood event), and yet they prey on people taken in by the imagery in the game and who are addicted to the gambling mechanic. On top of this, the core gameplay is not very good; the fights are basically the same thing over and over, but the devs obfuscate this by throwing so many things to do at you that you won't spend much time playing the core game anyway.
memory saver mode helps a lot with the crashes. But there's still a steep drop off of content once you hit certain walls, and you're going to be doing more events getting the chance at resources to progress than actually playing the main game. Maybe if story mode comes out, that'll change. DO NOT SPEND GEMS ON LIBERATION MODE, NO CHARACTER IS WORTH IT. There's a big update coming soon so I'll update the review when those changes come out.
I've gotta give it three stars despite how much I enjoy this game simply due to lack of content once you get to a certain point in the story. it's basically do your dailies and then log off cuz other than pvp which is more of the same once you get there, there's nothing to do. no money farm, core farm, etc. what you get in dailies if your stuck at a certain point in the story and you've finished all your other little bits of content is all you get per day.
Level grinding is next to impossible. Also I'm sure Shift Up just had all the costumes available all the time people would purchase them, twenty dollars for a costume is way too much, that is pure greed. The pull rates are a bit bad, at this point just give me the option to buy character immediately but I understand Shift Up wants a lot of money like Nintendo, unreasonably. I have been playing since the game came out and had to pause it for several months just from burn out of being unsatisfied.
