Infinity Nikki's First Week Establishes A Trend That Will Hopefully Continue

Gacha games are a balancing act between keeping free-to-play fans happy while still making money, and theteam over at Infold Games is doing something right in their first week of release. Since the game's debut on December 4, Infold devs have been extremely communicative with their playerbase in a few ways, primarily on X (formerly Twitter) and through in-game communications. This has established not only a trend of attentiveness to the state of the game and players, but alsoone of gifting players with numerous redeem codes and in-game rewards.

Redeem codes are a staple of the gacha genre as a way for devs to show their appreciation to their playerbase while also enticing new players to join. Infold has offered players over 10 unique redeem codes in the game's first week as a way of celebrating the launch, 's high download numbers, and thanking them for the patience they've displayed through a few launch issues. While codes themselves are typical of gacha devs, the sheer amount that Infold has been releasing is a generous outlier.

Unlike other gacha games, players don't pull for characters in; instead, they pull for outfit pieces that can be used to dress Nikki up as well as compete in Styling Challenges across Miraland. This difference in focus-away from combat and towards dress up-makes the perfect place for devs to be a little more giving in terms of in-game currency and other premium rewards. In a game like it makes sense for pulls to be a bit more limited, as there are only so many characters to get, but in games there are hundreds of pieces of clothing to be found.

and both deal with duplicates in similar ways; they provide upgrade materials. doesn't have characters, but uses a system similar to Constellations in that allows players to evolve five-star outfits .

Thanks to the higher number of five-star items that features when compared to it makes sense that devs would give players more chances to pull through earning Diamonds in-game as well as through gifts.
