I do have some niggles with the game, I will say-the art-style isn't quite to my taste few of the weapons interested me overmuch and there were some cases in which the use-or inability to use-a given upgrade in a given situation felt arbitrary. And the levels are sufficiently expansive and inviting of exploration. There are a number of things to find, some hidden away. It has a reasonable collection of "metroidvania upgrades"-some of which have a few rather neat uses. (And it has one of the very few implementations that I've actually liked, as far as I recall, of "tank controls".)Īs a metroidvania, it's.

What's more, it doesn't draw on the standard set of Lovecraft entities, instead going in its own (dark and macabre) direction.Īs you may guess from the first word in the title, it takes place underwater-in the ocean, to be specific.Īnd it's in the nature of that setting that is found one of the game's distinctive elements: it's one of the few metroidvanias that I've encountered that isn't a platformer! Rather, (much like Aquaria) it allows free 2D movement-and-rotation through its waters. I just finished playing a recent (I believe) metroidvania called " Depths Of Sanity".Īs you may gather, it has elements of the Lovecraftian, and reasonably well-done, too, I feel. They show us that monsters can be trademarked and milked for years. Stories don't tell us monsters exist we knew that already. I guess the big difference is that now it's the fanservice that is shaping the genre: mobile games lend themselves to collector games (constant updates, good way to put in microtransactions, Play Every Day), sex sells, and different heroines can appeal to different niches/fetishes, so make a game in which you collect heroines and it all comes together. It feels like the advertising was outsourced to people who knew very little about the game.Īnd yes, Nikke's ads are all jiggling bosoms and buttocks, I cringe every time.Īt the same time, it's not as if fanservice in videogames is anything new, they've long been pushing it as far as graphic limitations would allow. I know there's at least one long-time player who first downloaded it expecting to laugh at it.
Some make it look like the game is an dating sim, others imply you can change every item's colours. Love Nikki - Dress Up Queen is a good dress-up game aimed at women (which doesn't stop it having sexy outfits, but means they are limited to where they make some sense), but the awful ads are a standing joke in the fanbase. The ads themselves are something worth looking at, especially when they misrepresent the games. What about you guys?Įdited by KaabiiFan13 on Feb 12th 2023 at 7:38:16 AM That's not really the main message of the video, but that's what I got from it so far. This led multiple Japanese works to "stand out" from others in their market, which is why there is an increase in Japanese media consumption in recent decades. Japanese media, in contrast, is content of focusing on the vision of one person or group, and does not mind if it fails to catch a certain audience. to include tried-and-true elements and formulas, causing them to be more homogenized and, to many consumers, unengaging. However, this has led many games, comics etc. While I did not watch the entire video, I was intrigued by the second part - namely how Japan's noncollectivism in creating media affected its perception.īasically, media in western cultures, or at least America, is more focused on reaching a wide range of people over different demographics. Please don't flair text posts as 'Self-submission'.Recently watched this video essay about Japanese media and its relationship to Western ideologies.
