GODDESS OF VICTORY: NIKKE 12+

Perfect way to subvert expectations and Launch a F2P game right

I will say, the marketing of this game is PERFECT for subverting expectations. In my honest opinion I thought this would be a game where it’s all comedy and hard strange lore. However passing the intro, it felt like if Azur Lane was more story streamlined as well as taking Girls FrontLines gritty atmosphere, then making them have a child, NIKKE is that exact child! There are however some slice of life things that can be improved (Ex. The jukebox in the office not being changed even if u want it to be changed, the mission indicator box being a bit too small Imo, and the ability to mass spam the girls on the regular screen out of the Outpost and their voice being played infinitely if you tap on them a lot, it would also be kinda cool if like Azur lane where if you tap on a certain part of your secretary’s character they react differently.) but overall, this is the perfect way to launch a F2P Game and keeping the paid content only to cosmetics is key as well as interestingly making the grinding portion of the game the main focus to get new characters as well as stock up on future events. Imo 5/5 and there is limitless potential for this to have more side stories and events later down the line

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.

Had Potential

Honestly when the game first launched, it seems there were a lot of potentials for this game to be big. Upon launch of game, there were quite a lot of bugs, but nevertheless, the character designs, story, and game play was decent enough to keep me playing, and I was patient enough in hope that they will solve the bugs soon. A big update finally comes after a month, but it seems like for every bug they fix, they add 10 more. At first, it felt the developers were listening to the player base and taking the feedback into consideration, but as time goes on it felt less so. Constant bugs, poor game balancing, some player’s account getting banner for no reason, hard to get an actual response from developers, etc, and honestly feels like we are getting ignored.

Furthermore, in game rewards are terrible after you reach a certain point. I know it’s a gacha game but the in-game purchases are sometimes outrageous ($20 for a single character outfit or overpriced battle pass) and drop rate seems to be rigged on some of the pulls. There’s also the recent controversy of censorship in game, and obviously didn’t went too well in the community. If you look at who the publisher is (Tencent), it’s not a big surprise that all these issues exists. I wanted to like this game, and originally wanted to give it 5 stars, but at the rate it is going, I’m not expecting things to get much better soon.
