I Was Wrong About This Game - Goddess of Victory: Nikke

I was initially skeptical of Goddess of Victory: Nikke, but after giving it a try, I'm glad I was wrong! This game is more than just waifus - it's a well-made, action-packed shooter with a surprisingly engaging story. In this video, I'll share my first impressions of Nikke and why I think you should give it a try.

[@ionfreak83]

Come for the waifu, stayed for the soul crushing stories. If you think that intro was depressing, a lot of the Nikke's stories have very tragic past and many of the special events from past several months has stories that are depressing and heartbreaking. I think the waifus and the amazing ASSets are there to balance out the sad stories.

The Christmas event killed me, and Anne will always be on my lobby screen thanks to that event

[@weihaolee2937]

Their Christmas and pilgrim events are always so sad

[@ganshrio7336]

You must be weak to cry at this

[@Mobius118F]

@@ganshrio7336I mean it’s like crying watching something like the “Where The Red Fern Grows” a good story will connect with you if don’t you don’t care for the story because it can’t connect which either is ain’t a good story or it just doesn’t capture your interest which is fair not everyone likes the same things but if you do care the story will invoke feelings I had lost a Dog before watching “Where The Red Fern Grows”… By the end I was fully crying… in class. That movie connected with me as a result I would have preferred getting gut punched that movie fucked me up.

[@drd2005channel]

The game uses the physics and stuff to kinda offset the sad parts of the story because the main story stays dark and gets really dark at times so the events and stuff have to have some comedy and sexuality to kinda offset that otherwise the fan base would get tired of all the dark themes. Dont focus on the character designs so much as their personalities as thats what makes this game so great for me.

[@dustinreynolds-pert234]

i still haven't recovered from the prologue

[@KFZ]

That's the moment for me the story made me start taking it seriously.

[@DisIngRaM]

@@KFZBut the story after that is fluffy2 and cute2 stuff. Very rarely heavy stuff. There are sad moments but nothing dark nor heavy. I think the direction of the game had shifted from the prologue. Which to be honest, is a big disappointment for me. I know its sells well for other users, but I do really wish the game story carry itself more seriously. Another example would be the game log-in screen. It was solemn, serious, and epic (Both the background and BGM). I think Nikke was meant to have some dark and heavy elements, but that was thrown out to the bin seeing how the fluffy trend wins the game 23 million USD revenue per banner.

[@DisIngRaM]

17 chapters in, I'm expecting more Marian like tragedy. Nope. Mostly cute and funny stuff.

[@KFZ]

@@DisIngRaM I like this and agree the story isn't as serious as the prologue. I'm on chapter 20 I think and I like it a lot though. I care for the main cast and enjoy the light hearted funny parts, and it has its moments of getting serious. Still my expectations was a silly sexy good time, and I'm happy how this game has surprised me with decent or imo good writing and voice acting.

[@valenschristianyosua5699]

@@DisIngRaM You don't consider stopping a terrorist organization who gaslit someone mourning about the loss of their best friend to help aid in the killings of hundreds of innocent civilians just to try and break the protagonist's moral code by having the protagonist kill them a heavy story? That's literally the plot of a Batman movie. Thrown out the bin because fluffy trend is profitable? Some of the most profitable banners all comes from events with heavy stories. Overzone, Red Ash, and New Year New Sword all feature heavy stories. While the biggest drop in revenue was during the latest maid event. Nikke does have some dark and heavy elements, it simply knows when to not take itself seriously and just have some fun. A good chunk of the dark and heavy elements are from event stories tho, so i would assume you didn't play any of them because you seem to have only started recently, but you can still play them by unlocking them in the record repository if you didn't know. Overzone for example was literally a more tragic version of the Marian storyline.

[@tlothompson6935]

The fact that you didn't even really notice Rapi's fire animation for so long is a showcase to how that's such a small part of the game. After 2-3 days of play time, it becomes an after thought. Don't get me wrong, I like collecting the girls, but I almost never watch the fire animation and just focus on shooting and progressing.

[@KFZ]

Agreed it's a gacha game I tell people is a legitimately good game. I enjoy collecting characters and tbh I'm still upset I missed Noir skin

[@tlothompson6935]

@@KFZ You’re telling me. I just started, so I’m pissed at all the skins I’ve missed that were limited. Noir was actually my first pull lol

[@KFZ]

@@tlothompson6935 Shes one of the first 3 star limit breaks I got. Was disappointed until I realized how good she is. Even better when paired with Blanc

[@rigelothello709]

Welcome to the world of NIKKE. Don't worry, we all through this at one time, Lol... Marian is still the best girl for a Big Reason.

[@MidianPOfficialytch]

I was going to play it for the plot for 12 minutes but now i stayed for the plot, music,etc.

[@XeroJin84]

scam, didn't talk about Nike at all. You were talking about Nikke

[@CruelestChris]

To be fair it's the correct name, it's just that someone happens to have a trademark on the actual name of the Roman goddess of victory.

[@XeroJin84]

@@CruelestChris ummm… if you’re going that far, Nike (the sneaker brand) isn’t how the goddess’s name is pronounced. The proper pronunciation is how the game pronounces it; so he’s pronouncing the name wrong either way.

[@Skullfiend]

The moment we open a crate, and its stuffed full of dead nikkes all crammed inside a small dark box i shuddered.

[@KotaruEX]

yeah some people really don't have a clue on how good Nikke story was because they thought that this game is only for the aasets only. The story is what makes me play this game even more!!

[@stuffzluvverz_7665]

Nikke fans in a nutshell: "I came for the 'plot', I stayed for the plot"

[@FlipDevastator]

Eunhwa is the Raiden Shogun va

[@KFZ]

Oh really? Thanks for that bit of information. I met her in the story, and I like her even more now.

[@BeetleSkyGames]

The fan service is what gives it its charm. If there was no fan service there would be no NIKKE. The point is a game can have fan service and have a beautiful story. You don’t need to feel guilty for enjoying it. Having a libido doesn’t make you a pervert.

[@WillKazeOh]

Can't believe I found this channel playing one of my favorite gachas, Nike, and fighting the enemy of humanity, Raptors...

[@KFZ]

Still loving it. Just haven't uploaded in a while

[@alaintouloucanon5467]

Seeing you love and hate every new design you encounter is pretty hilarious.

[@KFZ]

I loved slowly collecting all of my favorite character designs. Modernia, and Red Hood are top 2 for me right now.

[@deo_exus2041]

When the story is as dark as it is you need a few jiggles to balance things out.

[@KFZ]

Lol facts

[@GamerBoy-pq2dy]

Yo more NIKKE when

[@KFZ]

Yo perfect timing because I'm dropping my two week impression today. Spoilers I love this game though

[@grandpotato172]

20:50 watching you miss that burst 3 window was painfull XD

[@UnhelpfulEngineer]

The pull rates are generous as hell. 4% for an ssr. Most gachas are 3-1% for the super rare stuff, but this game is 4%. Also resources are really abundant and by grinding for just a few hours gets you stacked. Progression is pretty good and game is fun.

[@UnhelpfulEngineer]

Also, SOUNDTRACK GOES FIREEEEEEEEEE

[@JDarkGaming]

Why I'm still sad fk I got her in new years My first game I liked 🍑 after marian got corrupted I got depression 😭

[@KFZ]

Man I never expected to get sucked into this game the way I did. I thought it would be just a funny video to do, but I'm still playing it.

[@JDarkGaming]

@KFZ Im marian/modernia lover .others like me got depression if still remember the past.

like a wise man just said, "I came for the plot, but the "plot" is the bonus"

Naikee hw said 🤣🤣

This game ropes you in with the physics and then lock you in emotionally. Would that be considered a toxic relationship?

[@KFZ]

She's a little toxic but I love her, and can change her

Yo when more nikke

[@KFZ]

@@gokuisthe1 lol since you mentioned it. I'll get to work on it.

[@dragoon3219]

I swear the fan service is the games way of distracting you from the soul crushing stories. Damn near every Nikke has some kind of tragic backstory, the world is post apocalyptic, the Ark is run by fascists and their only competition is a Corporate Conglomerate, and even when threatened with extinction it turns out humanity is still so divided and prejudiced a lot of characters in story have decided maybe letting the Raptures kill us all is actually the right choice. Like shit man I started this game for the jiggle physics and got my soul torn out instead.

[@ganshrio7336]

Very low standards

[@MajinObama]

I mean Nikke does have 2 Ks so... it's obviously not gonna be pronounced the same way as Nike. Or "Nikeee" 💀 Oh wow the English Dub is not great. Some Dubs are good but... not all. Definitely, Jesus

[@paul-zr9xb]

Maybe they should make a gacha game where every SSR is wearing different style of hijab so you can have your non problematic character design you are looking for. Thumbs down for me.

[@KFZ]

Soooo with everything positive I said about this game, and the fact I still actively play it. Your takeaway is that I hate the character design? Me the guy with the new Noir season pass skin that I actually like a lot? Okay buddy you got it.

[@HeartbrokenHeartshooter]

@@KFZ don’t worry about these guys bro, their dumbass comments are just helping your interaction stats. You do gotta know where your at when you get into a game though. Don’t go to the strip club and then be the guy looking down on it, you came to the strip club by your damn self like the rest of us. Just enjoy the shit for what you knew it would be going in

[@KFZ]

@@HeartbrokenHeartshooter oh I'm not worried. I love all my Cummanders. Just the point is I've never played a game like this before and while it doesn't appeal to me artistically I don't even remember saying it was bad. Because it's truly down to personal preference

[@cubanspy1231]

EN dub so goofy lmao

[@xatsukox503]

We went in as men, came out with emotional damage and soul sucking depression, no doubt easily in my top 5 for a game with an actual emotional rollercoaster story. 🫠
