Yeah tbh I wasn't expecting much when I've picked up the game on the launch day but it looked like a possible fun game for a few weeks/months maybe but now here I am still playing the damn thing more than 1.5+ years later. 'played the current event mini game today for like 2 hours, its basically Dave the diver lite version in Nikke which is now I'm interested in cause its oddly addictive/fun'
Sure for most ppl on the surface its nothing but yet another cash grab gacha for the thirsty/cultured ppl and that part might be true but theres a lot more to it imo. 'I mean when a game can play with my emotions then I know that they did something right, not many game does that to me btw'
Nowadays I get more excited for a big story update in this game than a new AAA game relase..
I'm genuinely curious to see what happens next and how some of the characters develop in the story, for me this game is an art and its not just some low quality gacha or whatever.
This game also helps with my moods cause it can make me laugh my ass off at times with the story/character writing.
Sountrack is also good enough that I sometimes listen to some of the songs when I'm not even playing the game.
Also for what its worth I was playing the game 100% free2play for 1.5 years with no real issues to speak of 'reached end game and got almost all of the characters in the game at that point'.
We got some really nice limited skins for the 1.5 year anniversary event and thats when I've decided to buy one of them cause I wanted it and I also felt like that they deserve some support from me after getting this ammount of fun out of their game for free. 'much more than what I get out of a lot of the AAA games actually..'
Btw Nikke is from the Stellar Blade devs, needless to say that the moment Stellar Blade drops on PC I'm gonna buy it right away.
I appreciate how you expounded upon your feelings wrt the game; that's exactly how I feel wrt many of the games I play (like Destiny or Division 2; now First Descendant).
They may be very different, but can unite us in response to them, which then attracts others to partake in those moments from media they are unfamiliar; gathering more insight into their unique attributes.
Yes, ofc, I know Shift Up created both titles. That was kind of my point.
WRT emotional response, I will only tell you that Stellar Blade made me feel truly manic. I was disgusted, then crying, then laughing, then content/contemplative, then crying some more, then laughing...
Let's just say I found it cathartic to an extreme degree.
When I could write a college thesis paper on aspects of Stellar Blade I feel few have touched upon, I have no doubt similar is true of Nikke.
Yet, what will spur their breakthrough into public consciousness beyond their aesthetic? I don't know. Hence, that is why I ask people to articulate upon those lesser-known particulars from their own POV.
