Is the game any good?

From someone who started playing it just a month after release almost 2 years ago and is still actively playing... I find it pretty good. It is a cover based gallery shooter where you direct a team of 5 characters. It has rpg elements and story telling is done in visual novel style. Updates are very regular with new characters being released roughly every 2 to 3 weeks and new story chapters releasing every 3 months.

Currently they are giving out a free skin for one of the most popular characters.

The game's second anniversary is coming up in November and is expected to give out a lot of free stuff (Last year gave out over a 100 free pulls and the standard banner rate is 4% for SSR characters).

Oh no.. I can sense the impending doom of tears.

 

[ShadowEmperor]

[xArtemis]

[HentaiFlanker]

oh yeah let's idolize lobotomized teens turned cyborgs.
but it's okay because the team is made of rejects that would have been otherwise killed.

it's as if gunslinger girls had been copied exclusively based on the cover, not the content.

so if you're wondering i particuliarly dislike gacha/card collector games that turn people into disposable objects.

It's not Idolizing, especially in the actual game this fan series is based on, if anything it's humanizing the characters, trying to give them some form of relatability and comfort in their horrible predicament.

You are literally admitting to judging a book by its cover. 'Nikke: Goddess of Victory' is highly praised for having one of, if not, the best writing across all gacha games, masterfully dealing with a myriad of concepts, there are entire YouTube channels whose job is to analyze and summarize the series and its many game chapters. You don't even have to play the game to enjoy its story.

Every character in a game is a disposable object, they are fictional people that only exist inside a game that you have to purchase, they are literally all objects. Gacha/card collector games don't enhance this "problem" by the virtue of their existence.

if this is the best, then note that you litterally joined mangadex (this is your second post and your account is days old lmao)
just to defend an IRL predatory game industry (gambling addiction is a serious life threatening and altering issue worldwide, especially in asia) and it's adaptations (like this one) that objectifies and relegates women as disposable objects which are both a pretty serious social issue.

there's no morality whatsoever in this shit to begin with. it is getting looked at on a legal level in europe as gambling, but as usual, law is going to be a decade late.

Cast aside the obvious gambling, say you're a teen and you live through your device, then you'll be swayed into thinking that women are lesser human beings that you can discard once you've found better, that you "can fix" a neurotic, traumatized or autistic person, without exterior help. it's so fucking wrong it's enraging.

This is where there's a separation between gacha and conventional video games with fixed characters. Say lara croft, skyrim, final fantasy or whatever. if you kill a key npc or a playable character, you kill the quest associated with it. there's consequences or a reset is required.

So no, not every character in a (normal) game is a disposable object, not by design, it's a form of moral freedom that's allowed by the devs and it doesnt mean they want you to be a complete sociopath, some actually levy the ending based on your behaviour though the game.

this an intentional choice from gacha devs to introduce cannon fodder cards to drown out legendary cards and to make them all as relatable as possible to increase sales.

Making the MC a gentle shepherd who cares about obedient yet discarded, disposable teens, then having him cull one that's no longer able to fight for bs reasons before giving her any characterisation (so it's passed off as normal, war time action, which it fucking isnt, killing the wounded is a warcrime under the geneva convention) isnt a better take. it's fucked up. the whole system's fucked up. it'd be women over men it'd be considered femdom torture porn on top of being fucked up.

you want me to get into it? have him disassemble the whole industry from the inside, as a revenge for the death of his GF.
have the ladies become "better fighters" by removing the brainwashing, thus being able to act unpredictablely yet professionally, thrifling ai patterns.
having them physically train themselves though sims, like the ones shown in appleseed.
Going through with them facing the horrible reality they are locked in for life and death, and making them decide by their own free will if they want to continue fighting or not, knowing the consequences (ie a reduced lifespan, medically assisted till the end), and have him respect that and find solutions around it.
fucking full blown grieving and hidden burial ceremony if one of them dies.


eighty 86 did it and that's not a big bar to reach. fucking mc's a mary sue.

Yeah I joined mangadex a few days ago cuss I wanted to read manga when I made that post, what about it? Am I not allowed to talk as a new user or something?

I never defended the gacha part of the gacha game. I said that objectification of fictional women doesn't cause objectification in real live and that NIKKE being a gacha game doesn't inflate the issue, there was a meta analysis study done on this 2 years ago that proves my point. (I don't know if I can post links here but the title is 'Does sexualization in video games cause harm in players? A meta-analytic examination' Plug it into Google scholar or ScienceDirect).

YES THE SYSTEM IS FUCKED UP AND IS PASSES AS A NORMAL OCCURRANCE, THE POINT OF THE SCENE IS TO SET THE TONE OF THE WORLD WHICH IS INCREDIBLY DARK. It is SADLY a war time action that happens regularly in this world due to how grueling the war is. If you had any knowledge on the games story you would know that. Let me give you a rundown of the story because you clearly don't know anything, in the near future (and ~110 years before the start of the game) humanity was attacked by a race of supposedly alien robots named 'the Raptures', in the first years of fighting the VAST majority of the male population DIED fighting them. Humanity used women to create cyborgs with specially strong bodies so that they can wield weaponry that actually works against the Raptures, to give you an idea a regular rapture can survive multiple modern-day missiles. And even then humanity is still pushed to the brink of extinction into an underground gigacity called the Ark.

He killed her because she was CORRUPTED. When a NIKKE is corrupted it means that the nanomachines implanted in their brain called NYMPH is infected with Rapture code, at which point they become an 'irregular' that is instead controlled by the Raptures. THERE IS STILL NO ACTUAL CURE FOR CORRUPTION DURING THE TIME THIS FANSTORY IS TAKING PLACE, so the only choice there is is to kill them before the Rapture code takes over.

'Geneva convention' in a fucking fictional GRIM DARK story where they are fighting genocidal murder machines LMAO.

You really think the Central Government, the authoritarian figure and Nikkephobia sponsor that it is, will allow the burial of a Nikke who has been corrupted and whose body is in ever deeper enemy territory?

There are three chapters in this story as of now, we are still creating the bonds between the characters so that we care much more for them, and feel worse if they die, which they most likely will considering this story takes place ~100 years in the past.

What do you mean by "reduced lifespan, medically assisted till the end"? Where did you get this? Nikkes arent medically assisted till the end. Or did you get this concept from another story that has nothing to do with Nikke like with your appleseed example? Also there are Simulation fighting rooms in the Ark so I don't understand that Appleseed point at all.

You want a regular fucking grunt from the army to disassemble an ENTIRE INDUSTRY essenstially by himself? talk about power fansaty, yet you complain about eighty 86's MC being a Mary Sue LMAO. Also this story is set in the INITIAL days of the rapture invasion, which is like 100 years before the start of the game so not a chance he manages to do anything.

The ACTUAL MC of the game is getting around to doing almost everything you said you wanted to happen so how about you actually check out the story?

Oh yeah, it's great. One o the most generous dacha games out there.

 

[FrozenAbyss02]

It's a damn good story so far. I enjoy playing the game, and the lore is phenomenal. I feel so bbad for these mass produced Nikke's. They do so much for these ungrateful assholes. Reading this drives the nail deeper for me. Maybe Dorothy is right.
