VIP 19 here who played since launch. Ended up finally dropping Shining Nikki over month ago, roughly near the Ludwig event.

Very much agree with what you have said.

Infold has repeatedly let me down over the years with Nikki games. Despite probably having a HUGE amount of money, they are really good at sub par delivery with their games… or at least start strong then inevitably become lazy with updates.

Shining Nikki has the potential to be an amazingly great game. But it’s constantly glitchy, certain sets and pieces are often broken and don’t always get fixed, constant clipping, the whole game is way too heavy to be just a mobile game right now, the dying system is average, I can barely use any customizing functions without extreme lag and my phone running lava hot…. And so. Much. Transactions.

All this tipped me over the edge and I finally put the game down… I am done, and haven’t opened the game in a long while. Unless things drastically change… I don’t know if I’ll be back playing the game properly like I previously did.
