Infinity Nikki Gameplay

Infinity Nikki is a third-person open-world game with gacha elements and a live-service model, featuring ongoing events and updates. The core gameplay focuses on outfit collection, customization, exploration, resource gathering, and daily tasks. Players control Nikki, navigating the world of Miraland with the help of ability-based outfits.

Each outfit provides specific functions to aid in progression. For instance, the Bubbly Voyage outfit activates when Nikki performs a specific task, allowing her to float downward by holding the jump button after a double jump.

The gameplay combines dress-up mechanics with open-world exploration as players guide Nikki and her companion, Momo, across various nations. There will be areas that contain puzzles and platforming segments that you’ll encounter while journeying. Activities include collecting Whimstars, which are used to unlock and enhance abilities.

These stars can be obtained through puzzles, boss fights, exploring hidden areas, and completing challenges. Combat is also present, with outfits like the Wind of Purity enabling Nikki to shoot light projectiles at enemies, including charged attacks for stronger blasts.

Dress-up gameplay remains a significant aspect of the game, allowing players to customize Nikki with a variety of clothes, accessories, and hairstyles. These can be obtained through crafting, completing missions, or gacha pulls.

Other activities include fishing, bug-catching, and crafting outfits using gathered resources. Players can also use Momo's camera to take photos of Nikki in different outfits and experiment with combinations.

The game also includes courses, which are side activities designed to help increase your Stylist Rank. Improving your Stylist Rank allows you to earn additional rewards, such as Resonite Crystals for obtaining rare clothes from banners, as well as materials for crafting and clothing evolution.
