What recommending players talk about

These tags are counted automatically from the text of reviews that recommend the game. Each one is a two- or three-word phrase a player actually wrote; the number is how often it appears.

Read them as topics, not verdicts. Recommending players bring up pay to win mostly to argue the game is not pay to win, and complete denials such as “not pay to win” or “without spending money” appear as their own tags.

  • pay to win
  • battle pass
  • open world
  • spend money
  • genshin impact
  • creature collector
  • infinity nikki
  • monthly pass
  • creature collecting
  • creature catching

The most helpful reviews, in their words

Can honestly tell who is giving the game a chance and who isnt. The ones complaining about "there's no co-op" There is you literally just need to invite the player to your party and can go explore the world together and do stuff. The ones that are barely an hour played complaining about gacha mechanics are funny. The devs removed the gacha mechanics as in theres no chance based loot anymore. What you buy is what you get. The ones saying there's no controller support.

The game is honestly fun. Before you play, just know; YES there are some transactions. What do we expect? It is a free game. BUT YOU DO NOT NEED TO PAY FOR THEM!!!! As expected of any free games, there is a Battlepass and Monthly pass. The other transactions are COSMETIC ITEMS!!!! Every Aniimo is OBTAINABLE! All you need to do is put in the grind. IF YOU WANT CERTAIN COSMETICS, Yes you may need to pay for them OR GRIND!!!! Housing is free, catching Aniimos are free, etc.

|So I was doing the math on what Sparkling Anipods cost (~22 bucks if you spend optimally, insane.) and learned that the value of currency goes down as you spend past 30 dollars. Only bother with high purchases for first time bonuses per tier. Why? To make people waste their time spending 30 over and over again or spend more for convenience?? They hate you.

Has such potential if the developers had gamers best interest at heart. Very good graphics, cool design of aniimo, however about an hour into the game you are bombarded with monthly passes, stores, objectives that you can bypass by paying, ways to speed up your levelling. Its very much a gatcha game. When I see that youre able to spend money to obtain rare items and end-game aniimo it turned me away from the game.
