Shining Nikki Wiki

Y’all did great on this app I’m hella impressed. A few things though… Could we get different body and face shapes and types. I needs me a thicc gal. Maybe a male option? A base hair and eye color option and please for the love of all that is holy please cut tutorial are at least make it an option. I want to rip my hair out every time I have to wait to click or wait to do something that is so ducking idiot proof. I’ve used a phone before. Trust me. I’m dying here. But yeah the app is beautiful. I like that you can just share the room with Nikki and watch her live her life outside of your actions. I wish she had more character and mini games could be cool too. Laundry, dishes, board games, relationship drama, helping her with her hair, making dinner, grocery shopping, etc. Maybe your character could find a love interest that sometimes conflicts with the main plot? Maybe your character has low self esteem but loves designing clothes? Idk idk just throwing out ideas 👀

I REALLY LOVE THIS GAME! I use to play love Nikki a lot but this game is also amazing. The Graphics are incredible and the character designs just- GOOD! LIKE REALLY GOOD! I love it , it’s fun to play and I love how we can talk to Nikki. But... I’ve been having problems with crashing and it’s heats up my phone a bit, it’s not my WiFi or Internet because those are working fine. But I hate that every time I press next to battle it’s crashes and kicks me out 🦵 🐁. I was thinking if you could help me out on how to stop it from crashing so much. It only seems to happen when when I want to battle and take pics and other stuff. It seems that no one else has this problem but me. I wish I could be like them where I can keep playing with NO INTERRUPTION. Overall, it’s amazing but I was wondering if you could add the commenting thing and posts that Love Nikki has. I LOVE THIS GAME THANKS A LOT!- Yasumaru

This game is amazing, and has so many features! As someone who’s played Love Nikki for years, this game is definitely and upgrade. This game has stunning visuals, too! Usually, 3D dress up games tend to be a bit clunky and glitchy. But this game is practically flawless! The textures for clothes are amazing, and so is the makeup. It even has an amazing storyline. For those who typically don’t pay attention to the story part in games, you should definitely try reading a little bit. Even if you don’t like it, there’s a skip option, which is quite good. There’s so much to do, and it has plenty to offer. This includes reflections (attractive ones at that) to boost attributes, concepts to help boost reflections, crafting, and much more! It definitely stands out among other dress up games. This game is also a mixture of gacha, but it provides so many tickets in the beginning for that (you use tickets to pull). The drop rates are quite good, and the clothing, makeup, etc, you can get from pulling are beautiful. Not to mention it’s practically free! In the first day of playing, I got 300k coins and 3k diamonds. As opposed to Love Nikki, it’s F2P friendly. Overall, this game is definitely worth your time, and you should download it!

I love LN and will continue playing but SN is really awesome to have in addition. There are so many gameplay improvements like explaining the player’s relationship to Nikki while we were just kind of a fly on the wall in LN. You get to talk directly to Nikki and learn about her. You get to actually see the scores of clothes and only have to match 1 attribute instead of 5. You don’t need guides anymore, the scores are built into the game. The clothes are a lot more stylish and modern. The scenery/backgrounds are absolutely beautiful. The only negative is that the story is a bit confusing to me, but maybe that’s because the English server of LN isn’t caught up enough. Thank you devs for really analyzing LN and making huge gameplay improvements for SN.

I love this game so much it’s so fun and pretty! The graphics are great and it’s so fun there is so much to do I could play for hours my only complaint is it can be overwhelming when you first start. You can have two accounts because there are two different servers, but I’d suggest just sticking to one and getting a hang of the game first before you decide on having two accounts or not. This game is very free to play friendly if you know what you are doing most events or ways to obtain clothes are through limited Gacha unlike it’s predecessor love Nikki,so be aware also instead of just relying on good clothes you have to obtain high scoring design reflections from the gacha the arena is a bit more of a challenge. There is so much heart put into this game you can tell the team cares,

I really like the game , but be careful when you buy stuff with real money, i bought a privilege pack in server 2 and it said it went through but i did not receive anything so i thought it was a glitch and bought it again , still nothing came to me , after an hour i checked server 1 and the packs were there , so the purchase made in server 1 went to server 2 , i contact customer support 3 times about it and all pf them told me to be careful since it was my mistake , not the glitch in-game. They did not refund me did not switch the packs to the second server . So guys make sure you record your purchases and check both servers ! Hope it doesn t happen to you

I have been playing love Nikki upwards of 4-5 years now and at first it was pretty inexpensive but twords the end I ended up dishing out a little to much for decent suits (you can get suits without spending money) this game changes my opinion seeing that my money went twords creating a gorgeous Sequal I’m over the moon and this is my new addiction I recommend it I get nearly 4 hours of gameplay a day and you acquire new clothing on a daily. One thing is I hope they bring themed outfit competitions where you vote on everyone’s outfits to this game it’s a feature I miss quite a bit overall it’s a breathtaking sequel to the last game

Let me say first that this game is so much fun! The graphics are beautiful, I love the wide variety of clothes, and I especially enjoy the fact that you can spend time and make friends with Nikki. Ever since I downloaded this game it's taken up a lot of my schedule, I just can't stop playing! My one gripe with this game is the lack of different skin tones in the dress-up section. While I do understand that the official Nikki is light-skinned, in previous games, different skin colors were added so you can choose to have Nikki look more like the player. I've seen others (mostly people of color) complain about this as well - there aren't nearly enough skin tones to represent the wide range of players. I'd like to recommend, instead of having a select few skin colors to choose from, there can be a color-slider-type feature where you can manually change the darkness, saturation, and temperature of the skin (I add saturation and temperature because as an art major they are incredibly important when coloring skin in artwork). I think this would be more than enough to solve the issue, and provide a wide variety of customizable skin tones so that the entire playerbase can feel included in this beautiful game.

There are some inconsistent quality of life things in the game that really stand out to me. If you’re buying currency (stamina, gold, etc.) you have to pull up the purchase tab for ever single purchase. Maybe leave the tab up so users can buy what they want all at once? Also you can only buy gold or stamina from certain pages, like you can’t buy stamina while in the workshop. On top of this, the game just runs so slow. The animations arent skippable and take forever. Sometimes if you auto-complete you can skip everything, sometimes you have to watch the game play for you. Inconsistent. I bought a gleaming shard and can’t see any option to actually use it. If these inconsistencies can be corrected this will be as great a game as Love Nikki.

I played this game for a couple hours or so and absolutely loved it. Has great clothing, voice acting, and the mini game is fun. But there has been a bug that makes it difficult to play. It doesn’t allow me to play the game using my wifi - only allowing me to play while I’m on cellular data. This isn’t an issue with my connection as I have checked everything numerous times. It’s just the app which is a bit confusing . I searched if this had happened to anyone else and it turns out it has ,though it seems it might have fixed itself for a few people . When the bug is fixed I’ll be sure to play again and I would definitely recommend the game to others

Fun but lacking. First of all diamond arena items should not be behind a rank wall. Anyone should be able to get them if the have enough gold roses. Second in general this game feels more grindy and expensive than the original game. For example, in LN the stylist arena does not cost any stamina, but in SN the diamond arena does, and so does the clock workshop, and so does the concept voyage and so does everything else. You run out fast. This game feels more P2W than love Nikki too. All that really matters is how high the items scores are, so if the items you need to buy or pay many diamonds to get have the highest scores then of course the whales will conquer. Also events are much more expensive here, with the current one running going at 6k-7k. Maybe make it affordable for everyone? Not everyone wants to grind daily or P2W. Also only being able to wear some hairs/dresses with some coats is frustrating. It’s very limiting creatively and so is the styling mechanic for scoring where you literally just put the highest scoring things on and that’s it. The whole styling animation where you press each bonus is also very tedious to go through daily

I can’t, in good conscience, give this higher than three stars, for reasons I’ll outline below. I can say I’ve been enjoying playing, it’s been cool to see this game at its infancy. I’ve been playing Love Nikki forever and it seems impossible to collect all the suits. Since this is so early on, you actually have a chance. I also enjoy the task functionality, there are a lot of elements and way to improve your characters talents, which provides more options to keep playing. Some negatives: if you have little patience, which I often do, you will STRUGGLE with this app. Like I said, it’s in its infancy and it is buggy beyond belief. I can get about 5 minutes max before it crashes, provides a “poor internet connection” message, and I have to restart the app for the billionth time. If you’re familiar with Love Nikki, then you will be quite familiar with all of the Top-Up, in app purchasing elements of Shining Nikki. Ah yes, Shining Nikki is just as, if not more, greedy as Love Nikki and will try to milk you for a much money as possible for as little as possible. While you COULD collect every suit, good luck doing so without coughing up major cash. While I don’t personally mind spending a little money to support an app I enjoy, it is astounding how little you will get for the money spent (ie, literally spending money to gamble for suits). Regardless, if you can ignore the glaring flaws, you will have a fairly good time with it.

As a long time player of love Nikki, I knew one day they would come out with (I thought an upgraded version) in 3D..... anyone who plays love Nikki can clearly see that while it is similar in characters and Nikki....it is almost a completely different game....you are only allowed 5 accessories so you can’t really dress her the way you want....hopefully this will change in updates....the story is...alright.... it took me a few days to figure out where everything was, and I still get a little confused. I know this is still new, but there has to a lot of improvement to compete with love Nikki and right now I am contemplating not playing anymore, and staying with love Nikki. Also already in the first week I’ve played, the outfits are also lacking in my opinion....again hopefully this will get better with updates, I’m just not sure I want to wait around.....

This game is everything I could've wanted out of a Nikki game. I have no complaints about the game play, other than that sometimes it's difficult to figure out where to go within a menu. I will likely just adjust to it over time though. I do however have several complaints regarding bugs. One specifically revolves around the Metal Style coat & its recolor Blazing. These items will not render in game and will cause other items to be removed if anything is added after adding the coat. It also makes the battle interface refuse to load anything else on the outfit, so while I'm getting a good score as if I was wearing appropriate clothes, Nikki's model shoes her basic gown and slippers. Another annoying bug is that when I try to download the resource pack (which has now been going for around 5 hours, about 3 of which were without leaving the app once) it simply stops at 2.4G and refuses to download more. There's also a bug which can be fixed by restarting the app where if something has to load in, the loading icon will not go away, no matter what part of the game I go into. Personally I think this app could've used a few more months of play testing and bug fixing before release.
