Niche breed and evolve My opinion

Recommended Posts

Hello, I would like to complain about this game, you know I'm a big fan of the original PC game "Niche a genetic survival game", however I don't have a computer anymore, so I can't play it anymore.So when this "Niche breed and evolve" game came out I was super happy and nostalgic, because I imagined that I could do challenges, create a culture and stories for my niches, and do things that I didn't do in the original game. But the mobile game is bad and disappointing, The things that bother me are the gameplay style, survival, and worst of all lack of freedom. I love Niche because in the original game, you're free to explore the island, gather resources, and there's that fear of the unknown, and the cool thing is that you can create your own challenges, your own stories, it's even culture. The system of mutations and "traits" in the original game is great, it's something natural really like an "evolution", And the system of islands and time, and diseases in the original game is also great, the system of rains, and the 3 actions for each niche is wonderful, in general the pc game is great in many ways, and as previously said, the best thing about it is freedom and you can create incredible things in it.

Of course it's not the same as "Niche breed and evolve" in this game, the gameplay style annoys me since there are no turns, your niches don't have 3 actions and worst of all is the FACT THAT YOU HAVE TO WAIT 2 MINUTES TO DO IT PATROLS, and that's HORRIBLE, besides the HOURS YOU HAVE TO WAIT FOR A NICHE TO GROW up yes that's really bad, another point really pisses me off is food/currency food is literally a currency, you use it to create more niches and grow the limit of niches you can have, is that bad because in the original game you can have as many niches as you want, of course you will have to deal with needing more food and needing more strategic moves, which is great!  But in this mobile game you don't have that freedom to deal with a super population, another thing is the island system, it's also terrible, you have limited islands and the worst thing is what you need to do to unlock them, another terrible thing, the fact that you can save niches is also bad, since basically your niches are immortal, they don't die of hunger, since make no mistake, the food is not food they are actually coins, if your niche is attacked it will have to rest for a while , of course there are no penalties (as in the original game your niche loses life time), your niche can live forever, well these things are equally all bad.  And another thing is the mutation system, you have to do missions, to earn gems, and with these gems you can increase the chance of a certain skill being passed, what I think is bad and the use of gems, and not being 50 % like the original game, and you have to do quests for it.  And worst of all for me is the lack of freedom, it's not fun to create your own challenges, after all what challenge do you have?  Your niches do not die, you are obliged to do missions if you want to pass a characteristic, you cannot choose characteristics like the original game, you can only mutate if your niche has that characteristic, you cannot explore the island, you will not face enemies, no will be afraid to send their niches on adventures alone (the biggest enemies are the coins, timeout, and the gems), it's for me that's very sad I wish I could play a game much more like the one on the pc, in that everything is boring and nauseating, the game didn't hold me, it's in the original game even without the explicit missions I wanted to play because it was cool, and in this one it's not cool, I can't create cultures or stories, if I create it it will be super annoying to have to wait 1 hour for a niche grows up.  In itself, I would like this game to have the best of the PC, that is almost everything, (or everything) only adapted for the cell phone, I don't have a PC and I would like to have the great feeling of playing this game again, and with this mobile game I didn't get it  :/

It's furthermore this game has become and just one of those countless mobile games, I mean like ALL mobile games, there are only a few exceptions, but this game is not one of them, if you're a mobile gamer, you should be familiar with the games that lock you in through missions or timeouts, once again highlighting the lack of freedom in this game compared to the original, don't get me wrong you might think then that I don't like missions, more the missions of the original game (those if YOU want to unlock a certain feature in the mutations menu) in the original game the way these little "missions" are shown is just fine, of course you can choose/create your own challenges, (yes Emphasizing another point once again) What in the mobile game is not possible or rather is not fun or cool. (Correcting something I said in the first post, to do the patrols again it takes timeI think is  20~40 seconds, I don't know why I don't have the game downloaded anymore.)

While some of your criticisms are valid, this mostly just sounds like you were expecting the game to just be an improved mobile port of the original, while that's not at all what it was trying to do. Breed and evolve is its own thing, just with the familiar nichelings present
