Okay,, honest review after playing since release as a f2p.

• Graphic
Let's say it's good, it's decent, not particularly very awesome but i think it's in better part. Pretty lot of option to lower the load on your phone. Resolution, fps, jiggly motion, etc.

• Sound
BGM is awesome, you'll soon see once you saw the composer from the music gallery, if you're familiar with them. The music are banger.

• Story
Story is mostly okay? kinda enjoyable with the occasional gag but might get pretty boring and dull at some point. Event stories are mostly boring too for me except that one from Christmas event. The character story is at least enjoyable while you wait your progress that take forever to unlock more main story (just YouTube the story ffs)

• Gameplay
It's a shooter game where you control one of 5 "Nikke" or robot girls in the team. Pretty straight up and simple. With skills and burst mechanism. Pretty much controllable with 1 hand but it might get pretty hard on later stages, no worry though, aim assist is there for you. Auto will do most job better in term of aim except when you need certain priorities on taking what enemy down first.

It's fine and all, at least in the first 160 level. And it's getting worse from there.
This game is mostly idle where you can gain resources from natural regeneration (depend on how far you're in the story).

And once you hit 160, your power is pretty much stuck there and can't proceed much to increase power unless you have 5 SSR that got limit broken 3 TIMES. What does that mean? YOU NEED TO GET 5 SSR AND GET 3 DUPES FOR EACH OF SAID SSR TO PROGRESS PAST THE 160 WALL. And oh boi, with the wide pool of SSR, getting those specific SSR is a pain in the ass. You will probably stuck for couple of months trying to get past that point except if you're whaling. You will try to collect these dupes WHILE they keep throwing new banners at you, so good luck.

At least gems are pretty easy to comeby from daily weekly and arena. And it took 200 point to spark and it's not expiring meaning you can save your point and immediately spark the future character you want once they come in.

Overall it's actually a potential game, but fall in the wrong publisher. There's so much circus going on since release, how they set a very high paywall on first event, how they let their character skills broken for more than a month only for them still getting another bug on the character skill. How they drastically reduce gem reward from later chapters, etc etc.

It's overall good for a side game. But not for a main game, except you're willing to spend fair amount of money to whale your way through your bracket.

I updated my review. Yes, the gameplay is appealing but sadly, i don't see a bright future for this game. Given that 10Cent is in charge, the shop is expensive af, more important, the game is leaning to CENSORSHIP. The gacha rate is bad, enemies health scale is way off from players dmg esp starting from chap 12. #10centout.

First things first: THIS IS AN IDLE GAME. Adjust your expectations accordingly before going in. Graphics: worse than I thought. Even after you chose high quality (this game weirdly defaults to low quality no matter how good your phone is) the graphics are still bad. The character sprites are somehow still kind of blurry, and the environment still look pixelated somehow. Anyone who has watched trailers of the game will expect lots and lots of butt jiggle, but in reality, many of the girls' behind are covered by either a coat/jacket/shield/whatever OR by your thumb since the gameplay is press and drag. Sound: I haven't played with sound enough to rate it. However, from what little I heard, the jp dub is good. From what I see in reddit, people at least praised the voice acting in multiple dubs, not only jp, and the BGMs are also allegedly good. Gameplay: it's a rail shooter. Think house of the dead or time crisis, if you're familiar with arcade games. Whether you manual or auto it, both have advantages and disadvantages. Auto will aim at random enemy, even if the boss has already appeared. Meanwhile manual, you'll get bored fast since the girls' skills are so bland; it's either increase some stats, or just pure damage skill. Your skill activation speed is also inferior to auto, except in cases where you want to hold it. However, there are some contents where you have to manual, and from my experience in CBT, those will at least be more interesting since the difficulty is higher. Story: it's good. It's not too edgy, yet it doesn't take itself too lightly either. There's a balance between serious time and the jokes. This is what makes it shine compared to other idle games since it actually has a good, coherent storyline. Value: only the one time packs are worth it. You shouldn't ever buy crystals directly unless you're a whale. The battle pass is also overpriced in my opinion, not to mention the grind for it is also awful. Additional notes: 1)the loading screens are atrocious. Initial loading after you boot up the game is very long, the game also asks you to choose a server everytime you log in even though you've already made an account. The in-game loadings, while not too long, are numerous. Main menu to stages? Loading. Go back? Load again. Go to the base? Yep. Enter a stage and exiting it? You guessed it. It is so irritating. 2) beginner gacha experience is horrible. Note the "beginner" word. First, you can't delete an account. Well, you can, but there's a 30-day wait period. Next, you can only access the gacha after clearing stage 1-4. ALL. MANUALLY. Fortunately you can skip the tutorial dialogue to speed it up a bit. THEN, when you finally got to the gacha section, your first 10-pull will always include an SSR. Nice, right? Nope. As of launch, NIKKE boasts 44 SSR characters, with performance ranging from broken to "why is she an SSR?" and there are a LOT who tilt to the latter. If you don't care about rerolling and only want the ass, you won't have to experience this hell, but others who care to get at least 1 good character, like me, will suffer. I rerolled 14 times and by that time I'm already sick of repeating the stages so I finally relented and just use what I got. For account changing process, one thing that is good is that you can use salted emails, so you don't need to create a bunch of emails to reroll. One email is enough. After you got through that, the launch gift is really underwhelming. 20 rolls in total for a dupe intensive idle game (which genre usually shower players with pulls) is very lackluster, especially compared to another game that I reviewed recently, Path to Nowhere, where you easily get around 30 or 40 pulls at the start. Tl;dr it's an idle game. A very, very polished idle game, yes, but still an idle game. At least there are SOME actual gameplay here. The fan service is nice too, although it's held back by the aforementioned drawbacks. All in all if you like idle games, or if you've always wanted to try one, NIKKE is good to try.
