Niche - Breed and Evolve 4+

My thoughts on “Niche - Breed and Evolve”

My initial review didn’t save, so I’ll do my best to recreate what I wrote to the best of my ability. Niche - Breed and Evolve is a mobile version of “Niche - a genetics survival game” but in this version it’s more so focused on the genetics aspect. So far I’ve been able to collect Nichelings, explore islands, and breed. I’ve been a fan of the Niche franchise since before it’s full release, so I know the mobile version has loads of potential, and has the ability to become more immersive as time goes on. Therefore I’m giving it 5 stars, to inspire further development. I recommend “Niche - Breed and Evolve” to anyone that loves cute animals, biology and genetics. From what I’ve been told Stray Fawn studios has lots of plans and ideas for the game, but in order to implement them, they require further support. So please consider trying it out, so far I personally have enjoyed every bit of it! Before I leave, I want to thank the developers for everything they’ve done to make Niche what it is today, and congratulate the on the mobile versions release! :)

Thanks a lot for your review and your continuous support! We're glad you like the game :)

scratches the itch, but lacking

i have problems with petting my nichelings so much, especially when im selectively breeding them so much especially when finding new genes that theyll end up thrown out or retired before they could start benefiting me, that and i just have arthritis..so… yeah.

You can also get abit soft locked if you level up an area too much that your nichelings cant even get food from it, like i managed to get level 20+ nichlings going on the first island, i have the frost island now but now i just have my forest island nichlings running through level 0 island area for food because its just more profitable than the high level biomes

but, all that aside ive been opening the app and breeding more and all for days since i bought the app, and it had me revisit the pc version that is just far superior quite abit. Unrelated but im also a big fan of wandering village too lol, i hope if you guys made a mobile version for it aswell after finishing its development that itll be more true to the original if not just a nice direct port unlike this app, which is still nice atleast, and i hope it can get some tlc some day

I love it / some requests

Let me just start by saying I love nieche and it's creators. I spend a lot of time on their PC game which happens to also be named nieche, and even though I bought this game a little less than a week ago I have been playing it non-stop. As a new game, it's got some small nitpicky things that I find confusing, but over all I think it is doing very very well.

Having said that, I have a couple requests that I feel would make the game just a lick more addicting than it already is:
* Add a feature that helps influence genetics when breeding
* Add an extra mission that takes longer and rewards more on each island

Here are some extra requests for already implemented features.

* Make mutagens a little more common, or make a mutated feature more likely to pass down
* Make a loop option for each mission so you can keep sending niechlings over and over again with out having to select them every time or Slow down the increase of needed attributes for each missions

Disclaimer:

I'm not making this post to try and make the developers change the game to another design, I am simply putting out my personal opinions that I express while playing the game. In my specific situation these requests would only serve to strengthen my enjoyment of this game.

Hi Chieph, thank you for your review, we're glad you enjoy our game! You brought up some good points. We have many ideas for new features, content and improvements! Whether we will be able to implement them heavily depends on how well the games does, though.
