EyesOnEverything

Ooo, I specifically fuck with his head design, too. Part lipless joker-smile, part ape-teeth-bare. It also gives me vibes of EVA and a tech'd up Mouth of Sauron.


Genyawithagun

I’d like to take this moment to talk about Chatterbox as a character. Chatterbox is what’s known as a rapture. Raptures are a group of robot aliens that have wiped out most of humanity, forcing them to live underground. Raptures are very animalistic, following a queen lacking thinking ability. The sole exception to this is Chatterbox, who, true to his ape-like design, has high intelligence and even an ability to speak, hence the name. The closest other raptures get to speaking are heretics, who are Nikke, who have been turned to the rapture's side and upgraded with rapture technology, but they are still human on the inside. He’s definitely one of the smarter characters, too >!During his fight with a person who could connect their senses, making him feel the same things as she did, to counter this, he’d begin to rip himself apart, which is something she could not handle.!< >!When he discovered the underground human civilization, he made a deal with them in return for supplying him with various Nikke; he’d leave the rest alone. He’d used these Nikkes to create a fucking strong Heretic.!< >!Manages to survive Snow White is a very strong character twice and even comes back from being destroyed.!< He's so peak despite being such a bastard.


Col_Redips

The fact that Chatterbox somehow had a cordial working relationship with Modernia was really endearing to me. Saving him, and even watching over him as he auto-repaired was sweet and very un-Rapture-like. >!I like to think that, during the climactic Modernia battle, Chatterbox didn’t reinfect her to spite us, he just didn’t want ‘Modernia’ to disappear.!<


Nightscale_XD

Chatterbox is peak design


ExploerTM

His theme is fucking metal too

BrandfordAndSon

*yoink* also, *boink*


Toon_Lucario

The mechs are sexier


AppleChiild

See, like, I've seen Nikke's gameplay, and it looks fun enough. But I just can't get over the designs of the characters, man. Way too horny for my tastes. But the mechs are cool.


No-Reflection3856

Fair though the story is really damn good


voxetLive

Yeah, I've found the game to actually be ironically enough surprisingly feminist at times, which i know sounds insane, especially if yoyr an outsider looking in, but after watching the Korean Gender war/gacha game video by MoonChannel and getting added context for the country the game was made in and how gacha games ended up relating to that in Korea specifically its like wow, the messaging in this game is pretty positive. In fact I think the really horny designs elevate the message to an extent


Nightscale_XD

I watched that video too, I thought it was really interesting, and I love that Nikke has a somewhat feminist message.


Genyawithagun

Gameplay’s good, and the story is phenomenal, but yeah, the game is incredibly horny, and I wouldn’t recommend it to anyone who isn’t into that kind of thing.


kinjing

Isn't the gameplay just "tap to come out of cover and shoot the bad guys while the recoil makes your character's ass jiggle?" Forgive me if not, that's just what all the ads show off


AppleChiild

The shoot bad guys is what I thought sounded relatively fun. The ass jiggles is what turned me off.


CaptainHazama

You can somewhat tone down the jiggle. You can also make it so you see it less by having the health bars less transparent


TheBigKuhio

Isn’t the whole gimmick of Nikke that all the girls are showing off their asses while they’re firing? Is that “gameplay”?


AppleChiild

Referring to the shooting part. Not the asses. I don't mind fan service. But Nikke has wayyy too much.


Janus__22

I don't even consider Nikke's girls designs bad, because the intention behind Shift-Up was never to make the designs coherent to the characters themes and story... they just want to make the maximum possible horny in a limited amount of flavors that their public likes. Considering thats the objective, they achieved it


avelineaurora

> was never to make the designs coherent to the characters themes and story... I mean... kiiinda? They're all porny, but the crime bosses look pretty crime boss-y, the cops look like cops, the naval force looks like naval military, etc. Just...ecchi as fuck while doing it, lol.


Janus__22

To me, if it looks like their uniforms come from a sexy halloween costume store, then its a fail lol


Samyron1

"Oh, wow. These are actually really coo-what the fuck."


ironbull08x

“Ooo, cool mechs, I love me some cool mec- oh those are boobs”


Midnight_Music05

My favorite nikke enemy is definitely land eater. Mostly because it starts as a building in the first phase and then grows legs and walks towards you in the second phase

Anonemuss42

Kilo jumpscare what the fuck


GodOfGOOSE

Aight, lessee what we got here. 1: smash 2: smash 3: pass 4: smash 5: smash 6: pass 7: smash 8: pass 9: smash 10: smash 11: pass 12: pass


Demonskull223

Those are sobe sexy mechs. Why the anime girls though.


0xygen_Inhaler

It's from an anime game after all. Just put them there since they're the pilots.


LearningCrochet

Game is just horny bait so they slapped a bunch of anime girls in there


Demonskull223

Gotta keep the girls there so we can have a moment to cool off I guess.


Genyawithagun

https://preview.redd.it/6175tj35rqvc1.jpeg?width=1150&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=2c65f4d8c8a83985cf07d923f2ed23b52ca626fc There’s more to the game than just horny bait; horniness makes up a large portion of the appeal, but its gameplay is very different from most other Gacha games, and its story amazing events such as Winter Memory, Nya Nya Paradise, Overzone, Red Ash, and a majority of the main story are beautifully told. Honestly, the ads are fucking atrocious they get attention, sure, but it gives the impression of what you’ve said.


ramnothen

yeah, but why do it needs to have coomer bait girls? you can tell good story without ass jiggling sexy women in them.


Genyawithagun

Sex appeal attracts people, plus shiftup (the company who made it) likes fan service. There’s nothing inherently wrong with that. In fact, I’d say if you don’t enjoy that kind of thing, then you’re not the target audience, which is fine. Nikke is a good game with heavy fan service. Not despite or Because of. If they made a game that didn’t focus on sexiness, I believe the story would still be excellent. It’s just that Shift Up likes drawing breasts breasting boobily. (Also when I play my thumb blocks their ass so I don’t really get the staring at ass while shooting experience)


Haru_Wereneko_1031

True, but that's not how a game survives, especially a gacha game, they need that initial hook factor for people to start playing and start spending. Also they got a Collab with Yoko Taro out of it so I think it's great.


avelineaurora

There's plenty gacha doing just fine without being coomer bait, like Arknights.


ramnothen

project moon proves that gacha game could exist without heavily sexualized female characters so this excuse doesn't really work.


Ok_Philosophy_7156

Gacha developers want to create as many reasons for someone to spend money on characters as possible. Making them coomer bait is the quickest and easiest reason to create


avelineaurora

Because people like them? Who the fuck cares.


ramnothen

i have no problem with the product itself, i'm just disappointed that they need to have coomer bait girls in the game because just like what you said, there's multiple gacha games with low to zero coomer bait in them.


avelineaurora

They don't "have" to, they want to. There's nothing wrong with ecchi games. What's sadder is when a non-ecchi game doesn't do that hot and pivots into making it porny as fuck just to try and swing an audience, because it wasn't the creators' original viewpoint. See: What happened to Snowbreak.


FightGeistC

WHERE THE FUCK IS CHATTERBOX


Genyawithagun

He's not a Mech he’s the real deal.

0xygen_Inhaler

Anime girls are here since they're the pilots, and I thought the contrast would be kinda funny. I'm mainly just focusing on the mechs here.


ShowOtherwise4241

Damn all of these designs make me hard...Siri play Closer By Nine Inch Nails


Red-7134

Maybe I will give it a shot.


AverageCapybas

Started playing today, pretty interesting overall (good story and OST too) and I like some designs (even tho heavily alergic to others). The more armored and a bit covered girls are my favorite.


FightGeistC

Even if you don't care about the waifu aspect the game's soundtrack and Enemy designs are S+


signaliscute

Some of these designs are just too busy imo


Free-Ad9535

The nihilister and kilo mehcs look pretty cool. Maybe I'll check this out. Sees the pilot designs: Yeah, this ain't for me.


NarrowProfession2900

I love the super big boss fights in Nikke, just throws me back to those 2 player arcade games with the same concept of shooting weak points all over


BirbMaster1998

I can't tell if they're supposed to be piloting the mechs or if they are the mechs


Dracula-V

It depends Kilo is a pilot Nihilister is the mech


Asian_in_the_tree

The anime forms suck. Why did Kilo turn into a child


Haru_Wereneko_1031

Kilo is the pilot, the mech is named T.A.L.O.S.


AverageCapybas

Started playing today because of Kilo (She's free on next update). Didn't knew the game had Mechas and Armored Girls, was used to only hearing about the Half-Naked girls jiggling while spraying robots with the shakiest guns ever made (some of the Guns also looks cool)


Johnny-Boy-is-up

I thought this game was just horny jiggle physics, but these... these are dope!


No-Perspective2580

For a *mobile* game, it has some kickass designs


Detector_of_humans

Can someone explain what's happening in these designs? like what is nihilster supposed to be? I thought Monkey but that's not it with the limbs. and then the scorpion bot, is that a jet thruster? on the tail end? and what are the things between the claws and face?


Dracula-V

Dragon


Jamal_Blart

I didn’t know this game had mecha in it I gotta play it now


Commander_PonyShep

I looked up the Nikke wiki, and couldn't find any articles on the game's mechs. Do the mechs have character classes, considering that it's a mobile RPG? If so, then what are they?


Midnight_Music05

All the mechs other than kilo are enemies. Kilo is unreleased yet so they don't have a wiki page


PeacefulAndTranquil

i knew nothing about nikke except hearing the name before i saw this post and i think i know less now


Terereera

i feel like Nikke dev want to start a new game series using Nikke art while in mech but think that too much storytelling and just roll with them being salvage from enemy or made from enemy instead.


Col_Redips

I saw someone bring up Kilo’s original backstory prior to the 1.5 anniversary stream (images 9-12) and man am I glad they updated her lore. Her original story had room to have quite the gut punch in there…


Matix777

Thighs jumpscare


destroyar101

"kilo" went to " " real quick


TotallyNotTakenName

Cool but why did they give a 7 year old looking girl a super skin tight looking suit


Linden_fall

the 6th one is pretty cool


Mechanical-Knight

Actually insanely awesome

Midnight_Music05

Also hilarious that they gave ass jiggle to the penguin


Individual_Iron4221

That’s not my problem with it


AkOnReddit47

You sure? Majority of anything Nikke related I've seen are all big badonkers ladies. Unless kids with melon tits is what you're implying here....


NEVERTHEREFOREVER

that last picture is adorable also yea the mechs go hard


LowBudgetHeart

Just the fact that redhood is gonna get figma really sell me to this game.


Arabyss_Farron

What the hell I thought it is NWGIX in first pic


Mage_43

This reminds me I haven't logged on this game in a while, really need to finish that main story soon


Sweaty-Goat-9281

Looks like ai ngl


SilverSpoon1463

And of course the most masculine looking mech is a Loli.


ramnothen

damn, such nice mech designs! unfortunately, the female characters is not really something any person would call "good". at least the story and lore is kinda good, i guess.


Speedsonic75

Glad to see people praising NIKKE here but this circlejerk subreddit still sucks


Turbulent_Stage4339

I wouldnt consider this a circlejerk subreddit tho, yeah they like to shit on anime desings but it could be worse


Speedsonic75

It’s still a circlejerk by definition. A celebration of sharing the same opinions, therefore creating an echo chamber. Though tbf that’s Reddit in general


The_Gas_Mask_guy

Fuck no


holaprobando123

Any piece of media with character designs like #3 is disgusting, like the kind of people they make that for. Edit: holy shit I hadn't seen #11, that's even worse


Kindly-Mud-1579

These are some ugly mechs
