I came to Nikke for the jiggles ... ended up with depression, a deep hatred towards a certain bratty loli, caring for my three loveable (and sometimes dorky) Nikkes and a sense of meaningless struggles towards this "war" to reclaim humanity
Welcome to Shift Up storys lol
dont play Artery Gear Fusion. last chapter is stupidly depressing
Ur alr an L
True, I lost my interest to the jiggle physic right after Marian's execution. And playing for the story, bosses, sometime the romances
Same and not to mention that nikkes can't defend themselves against humans thats not right that and nikke human relationships are forbidden good thing some rules are meant to be broken
@@og_3rd_st_saint_gat when is it said to be forbidden? isnt it just looked down on?
You missed the chance to also mention the Outer Rim. Basically a lawless place outside the Ark filled with gangs, NIKKE Trafficking, wars etc. Not only that, but also Heavenly Ascension and how some of their actions killed certain NIKKEs like Infinity Rail before when they were human.
I’m glad you mentioned the outer rim! I was going to include it, but it’s such a dense chunk of story lore I decided to dedicate it to a video on just the outer rim itself!

she and the train girls died from a terrorist attack
“Commanders are heavily trained”. If being brainwashed into thinking that they are the heroes of humanity and that Nikke are their expendable tools while being drafted off into battles with nothing but a slap on the wrist counts as training… Then yeah, they get some heavy training indeed.
they are nothing but sacrifices for the raptures so that the ark can exist. The commander and their nikkes have a very low chance of surviving their first mission. Only goes to show that their training is indeed "adequate."
@@Jellostyle yup. They are quite literally “Canon fodder”
1 year to train as a cannon fodder. I'd say it's more than enough.
It *is* training. Training is literally just behavioral conditioning, like grooming. There's no rule dictating what behavior is being conditioned into the person, animal, or machine being trained to qualify it or disqualify it for being considered training.
@@dairoleon2682 You’re right, but I’d rather not go with the technicalities as it just enforced the notion that people are right to do this kind of things because it still counts as “training”. They literally don’t learn anything there and just have an agenda forced into their minds. I can hardly see, or rather my suspension of disbelief refuses to accept that as training.
I have wondered how Nikke came to be....Until there were some subtle but dark hint that they aren't machine men. Food is created from the corpse of people, instead of ai, human brain are put into the Nikke head. It is.... Dark as heck.
Basically, 40K.
But with more jiggling
Nikke are full body cyborgs.
Which turns the term "mass produced Nikke" into absolute horror.
I think the reason the Central Government doesn't want commanders to stick to the same Nikkes because they are afraid that the commanders would sympathize with them.
One thing I've noticed is the heavy emphasis that Nikkes are not considered human but the property of the three corps or the Central Government, despite the fact that each Nikke has their own personality, likes and dislikes, hopes and dreams, etc. The last thing the Central Government needs is the commanders getting attached to the Nikkes or even going as far as to advocate for giving them human rights.
Came for the "Plot", stayed for Raptillion.
God Bless Humanity's greatest Hero.
He ride mother whale to escape from perilous siege, and guess who we fight against in CH21? yep, it's the mother whale
@@Mister-Mayor Isn't Raptillion a She?
@@IshijimaKairo Yea they were switching between He/She in the dialogue often so I'm not surprised you're confused.
Age like fine wine
Raptillion literally goes "I WOKE UP IN A NEW BUGATTI"
@@Mister-MayorIts not the same mother whale. Raptillion makes a reappearance just after ch 21
The Ark is no more than a "feeing ground" or garden for the raptures to play with. Enikk even confirms that she has been talking with them and the raptures know where the Ark is located. So the queen lets the Ark exist as long as it keeps sending up rookie commanders with nikkes to the surface. One of the nikkes even said that the raptures will destroy a nikke and scavenge their parts but take humans alive as a hostage (when possible). Since we have met Modernia we know what they use the scavenged parts for (to make Heretics) but what do they do with the humans? What does the queen do to the humans she capture? Is this the true purpose for the Ark and why she has not destroyed it? Are we just food for her young?
One things for sure, Enikk and the Rapture's are gonna get their just desserts, even if it means going full Rance/Keyarga mode lmao
Enikk pissed me off so much in ch.14. I completely understood it, it was the most logical decision, but as you said it, we're just a garden and its the fact that we're just pawns, food to em, just damn playthings. The trouble we go put on cuz of Enikk...
Gotta hand it to this game man, what robots, booba and guns can do is pretty thrilling.
Maybe the Raptures gain intelligence or further evolve whatever sapience they have, via consuming humans and commanders specifically, but they cannot sustain it without doing so consistently? That means if humanity dies, they lose their potential for sapience.
They need humanity or else they are nothing more than war machines stuck on a dead earth.
Like if Bees die out, then we lose a huge part of our food supply. Just a parallel...
but still, what do they do to the human commanders?
"A wise shepherd does not cull their entire herd."
@@magm1102 I'll sure we'll soon find out.
I had no idea there was a Nikke lore channel, awesome.
Thank you for stopping by!
People think it's just a mindless fanservice game. I was one of those people before, until my friend finally convinced me to play. Lo and behold, it managed to grip me with the story just with the prologue/tutorial. The protagonist is a bit of a Gary Stu, but the rest of the characters are diverse, fun and have good characterization. The lore and worldbuilding itself is sufficiently deep and the events cover a lot of topics, from lighthearted shenanigans to way darker themes. The characters and event stories are very broad, which prevents it from getting old fast or being overbearing in how it presents itself.
The current event as of writing this comment, well exceeded my expectations. I've only been playing around 2 months and haven't seen many prior events, but OVER ZONE is simply amazing. Apart from the very generous rewards, there are lots of content to do, the music is godly and the story... caught me off guard on how impactful it is. I've always thought the Pilgrims' backstories and the earlier history of the war against Raptures and humanity's survival are the most interesting aspects of the story. OVER ZONE gave us more of that and Dorothy's such a great character, gameplay-wise and writing-wise.
I'm glad I decided to play it. I came for the fanservice but stayed for the cool story, characters and music (and more fanservice, of course).
I’m glad you’re enjoying your time! I’m a day one player and a whale in the game myself. I love the lore and world building and think it also handles the reality of death and loss very well
@@Pyrrhixz I am and I think I will continue to enjoy playing the game! Thank you for this video by the way, a much needed appreciation and exploration of Nikke's strengths beyond the fanservice. I wish I had the budget to whale too, especially in this event since I like Dorothy's character very much.
I legit installed SoundCloud on my phone only for how hard Cosmograph (nikke music director) goes with the game's music 😂 I've found myself on my way to work listening to Nikke's ost lol
The game's really beautiful, take your time and enjoy the stories, I legit think that if this game had a manga or anime it could be a huge success
Nikke has such amazing world building.
It could be, there are a few gaps to fill in the world building as well as the writing
perfect for an Open world game
@@f.b.lagent1113 We could only hope...
@@f.b.lagent1113
A full-on 3D game would be neat.
A mixture of FPS combat, strategy game, city management, and dating sim.
I don't exactly know what the Commander does besides commanding, so I'm thinking of allowing the player to also join in on the fight, but with the ability to direct your Nikkes.
@@Warcrime4367 not perfect yes but still good so far
Rolling squad is probably to reset Nikke's and commander relationship. Since most of the squad didn't get along unlike the MC commander.
I'm a day 1 player of this game as well and yes there is a lot of fishy things going on and at this point, wouldn't be surprised Rapture was a by product of humanity's experimentation of weapons gone wrong and came up with Nikke and the invasion as a sorry excuse of a Cover is up. Especially with how easily how perfectly Rapture and Nikkes can infused, there is a good chance that they are one and the same project
I really like NIKKE. It’s almost similar to the real world in some ways.
I like all the Nikke, but i wouldn't plan on visiting.

You know what's more unforgiving??? The gacha rate manipulation.
Settle down tin foiler
No... the mold...
Crybabies 😂
Nah
I agree
The reason why not many people play this is because they belittle the game, since its a new game and not that many stories are there, but the lore and theories on the world itself is huge!
True, this is how they avoid it.
Then theres BA who outshinned Arknight and Nikke
I've been playing this game since day 1. At that time i expect to install it in the morning and uninstall it at night after a few gameplay. I am dead wrong 😂
It's mostly because of game's focus on providing fanservice,nobody watches pron for the plot. I also installed it with full expectations to uninstall it immediately.
I came because no other game offered this type of gameplay; despite my initial reservations due to aforementioned fanservice, I really enjoyed the gameplay, and became engrossed in the story. I just wish the fanservice aspect wasn't the main selling point they had focused on for this game. I rather wished they'd made a 40k game with this kind of gameplay, that would be sick
@@aerosdacillo1227What's BA?
After getting over the fan service of this game and actually watching the story, this game reminds me of another. MegaMan X/Zero.
That feeling of fighting a losing battle is there too. As well as the relationship between humans and androids/cyborgs being similar across the 2 franchises.
I think that just like the X series, someone higher up is pulling strings behind the scenes to actively nerf commanders and Nikkes. Maybe they don't believe they can win and are content with fighting a stagnant battle.
About the rule that you mention to not repeat the same squad, I was in the impression that the government knows that their overall groups are not functional so as a band aid they are sure that their own teams eventually do not kill themselves.
I really want them to expand on the lore of the initial invasion and the final stand of humanity before retreating to the Ark especially seeing all these little notes in the lost relics, I really want to see them expand on the initial invasion lore.
Same with the space elevator it mentioned
Wish there were more lore videos like this. Good job
dude. the reason johan left ark is that hes been betrayed by sentral governmen, and jailed. despite his deed protecting the ark
I'm beginning to think that Eden will last while Ark goes full on extinct at some point. And the more i delve into this amazing story, the more i start to feel like i support Nikkes rather than humans.
Unlikely... it's in the Raptures best interest to keep the Ark operating as it is. So that we can keep the Raptures supplied with human commanders and nikkes to kill/capture.
The Ark is a factory farm.
Andersons Voice in teh "pilgrims" Tower: is becuase he Built it for them .. To study their Battle actions... as i just opened that one my self today
Rapi is at least from the same generation as the Fairy-tale types Nikkes such as those in the Goddess squad(probably 2nd or 3rd gen, 1st gen Nikkes are more robotic-like with attached rocket launchers and such) or the generation after them since she probably met Red Hood before the latter became MIA. Anis and Neon on the other hand are the newer ones.
After experiecing this game and finishing Rapi's bond story.
I have come to conclude, me a Commander are a 40k Commissar.
Good thing the story says it is Ciaphas Cain..
When the title "Goddess of Victory" was for a squad that not even the MC's actual squad.
But the one that makes me most curious is what will happen to Marian at the end?
Will he ever be able to get his memory back? because the proximity of the commander allowed him to keep some memories and Rapi is immune due to that proximity.
With how dark the world is, i get the strange sensation that Splendamin might just be made with recycled human bodies by this point, lol
i would like to know how this story is going to end, i hope its a happy one and not some cliffhanger, but the thought of the story finishes makes me sad, marks the end of a peril journey with the people you love and fought with
Very interesting video keep up the good work
Thanks for the vid and your thoughts, started just 3weeks ago just to get rid of boring night shifts with looking at nice boobas and big cakes but i am overwhelmed by the story. I am not that far in the story, atm stuck at 15-18 (so i got a bit spoilered here but that a self made problem i guess) but it has so much potencial already! So much lore with episodes, side missions and relicts. The devs could rly make a big thing out of it!
From a lot of the stuff I learned tho about this game… it just seems like a terrible world. A post apocalyptic scenario mixed with the government and corporate corruption of cyberpunk. It’s so distopian.
But what I hate most about the world of Nikke is how terribly the nikke’s are treated. To me anyway I consider them human given that they all have human brains in them. Which I didn’t know until chapter 7 and i found out a tad more in the new event going on right now. Point is tho. Nikke’s are supposed to be humanities saviors and what do they get for it?
They get treated like garbage. Simple consumables who can be discarded once they’re no longer useful. I think nikke’s deserve to be treated like humans. With love, respect and compassion. That is the least they deserve for their efforts
Btw not saying I hate the game or anything. The story is amazing. Probably one of the best stories I’ve seen from a game in a long time. And a gacha game no less. But what’s happening in their world is terrible. How the nikke’s are treated is terrible given they were human once.
They have feelings, they have emotion, they’re self aware, they have their own unique personalities… the only difference between them and a human is that the nikke’s were made in factories. But they are still basically humans.
Im with you. Honestly, if I was there, I would have said: "If they weren't here, humanity would be dead by now"
Stop thinking about it too much. It was an excuse from the devs to make the nikkes like the commander romantic or otherwise. In real life maybe some people would discriminate but most would not.
@@HazmattMorningstar true, we mustn't mix fantasy with reality. I just hope that the story change for the best and like you said, it help us to reflect on discrimination and respect.
Holyshit someone actually made a lore video for this game? I’ve been looking for something like this ever since I started playing
yay more nikke lore vids!
What can I say, I came for the plot, I stayed for the plot
I find it also interesting that Anderson knows enough about Pilgrims to make a tower specifically for them along with knowing how they move around, hence the secret passageways that allows them to enter and leave without endangering their secrecy. Who knows what will lead in the future.
Me: looks at my own wallet... "oh it sure is unforgiving alright..."
That explains why i feel like komisair cain when i recive congratulations from completing the mission
even as the story runs... i realised by lv 4 that it was Dark as hell .. but its a good interactive story line to play .. near at 11 now but unlocked most my BOND stories of the team
very dark story for an 'enclosed' existastance underground
reminds me of soylent green .. but for war tools
I love your opinion on this game
For chapter 21 I just learn that Rapture use us human as food source and energy source.
Hmm.. My Command and Conquer Sense is up again.
Command and conquer?
Is RTS game.
Kain lives in Death!
When someone like me who has only played Nikke for about week now can already tell there was something wrong with the Ark because our characters is the best since he has actual human decency to Nikkes, you know you messed up
i knew as soon as i saw that scene with exia just getting gunned down that the central government of nikke is fuked
Thank you Tim, for sending me here
Welcome to the lore dungeon
@@Pyrrhixz oh nahhh, imma get locked up
The story of Nikke is what bring me forward to the point that, the gameplay and grinding is just too boring and I drop the game, but the story is still okay and has some great potential.
The Ark is basically like 86, full of corrupted politics/big company and also civilians that's already brain washed enough that, they only know how to obey and enjoy the life. This is why our boss send us away from the Ark at first place, so we can fight our way up the political ladder and become his powerful ally. All the non-sense about commander training, commander treatment and Nikke are due to this, we are just propaganda to make civilians happy, most higher don't even care if we actually take back the world or not, hence why we treated like slave instead of hero.
Where can I watch the CGI from your video? I want to catch up with the lore.
The Ark is a prison
I bet this guy would enjoy NieR.
This comment aged well
Man, Arknights and NIKKE would make a great collab since both are dystopian settings.
Nah they wouldn't mesh as well and if what I heard is true, then some of the fans (from Arknights) might actually become an actual problem because of the Fanservice, because they started attacking Yostar because of Azur Lane.
If true then it's a great example that a fandom can definitely ruin a Franchise.
man Over Zone fleshed out so much
Amazing video, I can just show people this instead of explaining it myself
The intro to this game made me so god damn livid... "here, we're making you a glorified paper pusher. Go fight mecha godzilla."
Side note/spoiler - I appreciate Andersen for beating burning gum's face in and brushing off the subject. Here I am thinking "man I miss the military..."
This game story just like attack on titan, I hope being animated😊
i love the story :D
Came for the nyash, stayed for the story
Thank you for making me feel less pervy
the gameplay is amazing
the story is really good and well thought out, its like a combination of Nier and the anime 86
i always felt like the jiggles is kind of just a fanservice joke. like the butt jiggling is more of a marketing strategy to bring in players, while the gameplay and story is what actually keeps its players.
alot of people tend to think that the main reason why people play this is for the butts, but theres a reason why its the 3rd most played mobile gacha game.
i never expected this to be the only other mobile game id play besides fe heroes
..
i wont disagree that there are quite a few characters with very distracting physics.
*cough* (volume, guilty, noir, rupee, isabel)
anderson could be the son of the legendary commander, they both use the same voice actor, also their sprites are very similar
The ark are the real villains would a twist 😮
If you correlate this story with how Korean society is, a lot of the elements make a ton of sense. People think this game is just T&A, but it really does have some pointed commentary on the social and political problems in Korea.
Y'know, i would taken the whole world setting a lot deeper if everyone didnt look so used to it. From the bat, it just feels like everyone dies, but its just a normal daily occurence at this point.
While I enjoy the story and the characters, the writing and the world building needs work, there’s a lot of why and what questions that I have
I think he's the legendary commander and rapi is red hood I think lilith is still alive and we will all see it in the future installment
Emo Commander: Man should be in frontline.
It might just be us that can boost Nikke stats through bond. Thats what I got out of Maxwell's story anyway.
And how the ark NIKKE boss of the ark talking and trading with the enemy
I so badly want this to be an anime.
86 moment
Hey, at least they aren’t also fighting zealous aliens that see humans as demons, a brain eating hive mind, inter dimensional eldritch horrors, and killer mushrooms with the power of belief
Wait there's gonna be more chapters along the way bc i was worried that it ended in chapter 20
Chapter 21 and 22 are confirmed to be in the works
@@Pyrrhixz ah but is chp 22 is that going to be the end or do we just wait and see bc I'm really curious how many chapters will be released
@@Pyrrhixz But the one that makes me most curious is what will happen to Marian at the end?

@@zackvasquez161 it’s a question?
@@sebastiancastro3524 wdym and also did you just call Marian a he ???
I'm unfamiliar with the series, so I want to ask why Nikkes are only female as far as I can tell? Or are there male Nikke as well? To me personally, there would be a bit more impact from your explanation if there were both. But it just seems like another fan-service gacha at first glance, deep brilliant story or not.
From what I get, in the beginning of War against Raptures, of course men are sent to fight it. But yeah, a lot of men died in that war. And Yes, from 1 of the Lost Relic, it is been mentioned that there was a Male NIKKE before. But it seems that the compability is more match to Female ones, so The modern NIKKE is only compromised of Female NIKKE. Too bad there is no further explanation why Male is not match to becomes a NIKKE.
PS : Lost Relic is like an old record of something, in this case, a record of NIKKE Creation.
I want SSR Rapi
Nikke have rights as well. Nikke lives matter.
Its because if a commander rose up to be the most well liked by all Nikkes then he or she can overthrow that government
The story seems pretty interesting. I haven’t played the game myself due to my only and probably biased gripe because i’m an 15-year old boy is the fact the Nikkes are always females. I’ve seen this trope be used an lot in other gacha mobile games such as Azure Lane and Girls Frontline, and yes i’m well aware there is an in-universe explanations I READ THE WIKI, but out-of-universe i just want to see an game where badass males get to kick giant robot ass with badass weapons for once.
Wtf when did Kevin Kaslana got added in Nikke?
Lmaoooo I didn’t even notice that! A fellow Honkai fan I see
@@Pyrrhixz He does look like him
I have a picture of Johan holding Kevin Kaslana's sword...
Destroy the Ark
grow in the ranks? i don't think that'll happen.
Was brought by the horny, but stayed for the story
Damn i thought this was a fun shooter game with, certainly designed characters. But hell i was wrong. It kinda takes away the fun fact about the game.
it stucks with me that nikkes were used to be real female humans before they become a nikke? idk
As Nikke was made by Level Infinite, a Chinese company, I worry about spyware being included in the game even if Apple or Google say they don’t allow that on their platforms. Does anyone know if there’s a way to know it’s safe?
easy, my phone has notifications blocked for the app and no permissions allowed
This game was wonderful but flawed hard because of the terrible global publisher...
What do you mean?
To be honest yeah it's bad but not really unforgiving
yo im a famous commander?!
Rule of thumb: any military-themed anime and video games that pays Sawano Hiroyuki to make music will feature so many Pacific Theater reference.
This didn't age well.
Who wins, Ultra instinct Goku or all the Nikkes at once?
Yeah, but can they beat Goku tho?
The humans in nikke just have skill issue
would be cool if the player leaves the ark
Asian culture try not prioritise image over everything else challenge: impossible. the line "commanders aren't trained to be effective in war, they are literal poster children" would've let me know this story is written by someone of Asian heritage even if I hadn't ever seen or heard of anything about it before.
How is that even remotely close to Asian Culture? I know this game is developed by Asian Company but that quote (if we changed some words on it) can be applied to anything related to military. I know Asian (especially the East one) was notoriously known for using metaphor to quote on their word, but it does not necessarily mean we Asian use it often.
Beside, that quote (based from my first impression) could be taken straight out from ancient europe war leader/figure.
Why r we even a male
I passed ivent Over zone my conclusion is the ark is shit
:D
i thought it was about booba
7:12 missed a possible one piece reference 😔
It has story? I thought only asses
Wait til bro plays honkai💀
Honkai lore is crazy
My dude, a spoiler warning would've been great 💀
sooo nikke...can to commander be male or female..is the mc a male.....if that where to true i want to see a nikke game where the cmmander is out side know he has 95% to die but he lives his BODY IS MUTAED he can sruvive...but he alose has a bother called SHADOW....that can be somting else....what do you think?
no, commanders in this cannon story are male only, nikkes are only from female brains, I'm sure after 4 months since you posted this have realized what the real story is
I don't understand anything about this but i won't have any feelings towards game characters that aren't interesting to me that is just my opinion
