Yume Nikki

but it has a minor glitch where the controls will get highlighted if you hold them for too long. This doesn’t affect gameplay though but it is kind of visually off putting and with the haptic buzz it’s a little interrupting. Visually the game is the same with only a major difference of the number keys being on screen which cover up gameplay a little bit. I under stand why it’s there, I just wish they’d put the actions in the menu so the game could be more visually appealing. These problems won’t get fixed though obviously because the game hasn’t been updated in years and I’m sure Kadokawa is done developing this port. If you want the true Yume Nikki experience I suggest playing it on PC the way Kikiyama intended; plus it’s free on PC and Steam!

After reading the reviews, I had serious doubts about buying this app. But because I absolutely love this game so much, I decided to bite the bullet and I bought the app. First thing I noticed that that it was half the speed of the original. Many reviews say this, but I quickly discovered that you just have to turn off low power mode to have it run at normal speed. It is just like the original but with some inaccurate names for the effects, but other than that, I would say this is really worth it if you like Yume Nikki. But, there is only one problem. You can’t rotate the screen. It is always with the charger pointing to the right side of the phone, and even if you rotate the phone, nothing changes. But it’s not even that big of a problem, it’s only an issue if you are charging your phone and it creates an awkward angle. Overall, great app, and the other reviews are making it seem really bad, which it’s not. I like it a lot.

First of all, I never bother with reviews, but Yume Nikki is a game so near and dear to my heart that I can’t stand seeing it done so dirty. First of all, the price point. If I’m going to /pay/ for a game that’s free on PC, it better be good. Especially more than a dollar. A huge issue in the game is the framerate. Going up/down staircases easily takes double the time it would normally, and the bike effect and speed glitch do little to help that. It takes an excessive amount of time. The controls aren’t intuitive, but I understand porting a game like this onto a device with no keyboard is difficult. Another technical issue is the fact that the music clips almost constantly, making some areas a pain to be in with sound on. There’s also a nitpick with the changing of some names. Medamaude and yuki onna have been changed to “eye palm” and “snow woman,” which makes it hard for a die hard fan to locate in the menu. I’m excited to have a version I can take anywhere, but there are too many flaws right now for me to be able to excuse having to pay three dollars for an otherwise free game.

So I actually had no problems with bugs and glitches. Actually it works perfectly fine but however the controls for the game are difficult to say but easy to know because when I used the chair on the dreamworld I had to go backwards to get to the desk but I hope the game can get updated sooner or in the future.

A lot of reviews here say that the game runs slowly and thanks to another review, I found out that this is due low power mode being on, so make sure to charge up before playing! Other than that, at least for ME, everything worked fine; the sound, graphics, and overall mechanics had no problems at all and I was able to enjoy the game on my phone. Paying was worth it for me because it was otherwise incompatible with my Mac because of the new Catalina update 😔 I get that it should be free, but this sacrifice was worth it for me to be able to play this incredibly captivating game. 💗

I didn’t have any issues with any bugs save for one - when the game is backgrounded and foregrounded again the sound is lost. This wasn’t a huge deal for me though, since I just chose to restart the app if that happened and the sound would be back. I was able to complete the game with no other issues. Apart from the one sound issue I think the port was great. I used to play Yume Nikki on my computer before trying this port, and it’s as I remembered it. You can move through on screen controls or by tapping on the screen. I think the tap to move feature really helps make the game more playable on the phone. One reviewer was mentioning black screens, but some of the worlds are meant to be dark. If that is what they were experiencing then that wouldn’t be a bug. I didn’t have any issues with any of the worlds. All in all really happy this port exists!

I love Yume Nikki. It is a great game, and I was very excited to play it on my phone. I was hoping that it was free but I was willing to pay a few dollars for it anyway. However, after I downloaded this game and pressed play, all that I saw was a flashing screen. No matter how many times I closed down the app or reopened it the screen would still just flash wildly. I could hear the game’s music but nothing appeared on the screen. So if you buy this game just know that this might happen to you. I was hopeful that this would be at least an ok port after seeing some of the reviews, but no, I just got ripped off. The game is great but this is simply unplayable. If you want to play this game please get it on a PC, not on here. I am so disappointed.

Yume Nikki deserves to have a great iOS port. Although this app plays well on my iPhone it does not look as great or run as well on the iPad. On the iPhone it performs flawlessly and feels very similar to the original classic except for a few menu and sound bugs. But for $2.99 this mobile port is a must grab for any huge Yume Nikki fan. To bad there is no controller support. Maybe that could be implemented in a future update?

I played it today and I went to Poniko’s house and turned the light off (tap the screen where the switch is) and UBOA was there and I got teleported to the bloody world after trying to stab it Also the controls are confusing at first but they end up working out (and super helpful for the wilderness) It should be free still bc original was but ehhhhhhhhh

I’ve been a fan of Yume Nikki for a long time, so once I learned it was on mobile I immediately downloaded it. It’s a little glitchy, but the only time it’s really bothered me was when I was in the Wilderness B area and the game froze so I had to wake up and lose my progress. Other then that, it’s a really good port!

Hello, I had this game on IOS for maybe less than a year and somehow the game itself keeps glitching often and idk what to do to get it to stop or change. I’ve redownloaded and so on and no matter what it still glitches in the entire game itself and especially in black background maps. Please fix this. I love this game with a passion and was very happy this got to be mobile. I hope this can be resolved so I can go back to playing it again.

This game was possible one of the best rpgs I’ve played so far. The environment, sound track, possibly everything in this game gave me a great time of playing. Yes the English translation my not be the same as the Japanese but it’s a very great port and I recommend this to yume Nikki fans!

I love it and all, and it's almost identical to the original but for some reason the audio isn't working for me😩 overall it's amazing

The sound constantly clips, numerous sound effects are distorted (including Madotsuki's footsteps which you hear constantly), the controls are incredibly clumsy with no right to be, screen can't be rotated, and the original PC version is free. Others defending this port don't mention any of these issues and focus on the easily fixable framerate issue. This reeks of a typical dumped-onto-mobile port to pander to the East Asian market and its preference for portability no matter the cost, including having to pay for a free game.

I was surprised to see Yume Nikki on the App Store. I bought it without hesitation. Loading up the the game, everything looked and sounded as it did with the original PC release, but unfortunately the game ran at a snail’s pace. It is much, much slower than the original game, making it unplayable. My only hope at this point is that a future update addresses this issue, but until then, please avoid this port.

I ADORE this game. It’s easily my favorite indie (kinda but not really) horror game. But why are the effect names changed? It’s a little disorienting. Overall, a solid port of a solid game.

I feel like the other reviews are being rather nitpickish. The game, to me, plays well for what it is on mobile. I own the original PC game, and honestly... I like it either one.

Helloo, I’m kinda new to this game so I don’t really know what the objective is or how to play it much, but I will say it’s really laggy at some points and I need to refresh it, but it’s not that bad so far :)

Haven’t played through all of it but it’s a solid port Controls are a bit iffy but not unplayable Only real complaint is the highlight appearing when holding a button down too long which is a bit jarring when playing but other than that Solid 🦭

The game works and it is fun to play

The frame rate makes it nearly unplayable. At times it feels like it’s running at half speed. I’m looking forward for a fix, but for now I’d be wary of buying this game.

Very laggy at times, so laggy it becomes unplayable unless you can find a way to get rid of whatever is causing it. Save yourself the money and don’t buy this, it doesn’t look like it’ll ever be fixed.

It plays very slow for me, I was excited to play it on mobile and I bought it right away as a yume nikki fan but this port felt a bit lazy to me.

Upon starting the game, I just get a flashing white screen. I’ve gotten t to start once, but there are so many graphical glitches that it’s unplayable. It may work if you have a different iPhone but it doesn’t work for me at all :(

Ok while I’m happy playing Yume Nikki for the very first time I for some reason cannot for the life of me interact with the walking lamp guy to get my lamp effect!!! Please for the love of god port this amazing game to the Switch or else I’ll be very upset with you PLAYISM!!!!!

This game is a classic but the publishers don’t even update this app. It no longer can run in current iOS. I’ve been scammed, waste of money.

I’d prefer that every time I play that my screen doesn’t flip upside down.

This is a great game but the white desert b is really glitchy

As of November 2020, this port in unplayable with iOS 14. The textures are replaced with a nauseating flickering. There’s a lot of glitches and instances in which the screen starts spinning. It honestly hurts my eyes a lot. Please, please patch this.

i mean, it’s a good game i’d say, but the screen is always flashing in the background. hurts my head after a while. if they still update the game i’d say to at least fix that part.

Love the original game. When I play this on my iPhone all the backgrounds are flashing black and white. It’s almost unplayable. Really disappointed. :(

I have an iPhone 11 running iOS 14 and the game glitches to the point of not working. Needs a patch!

but everything else is fine ig

This is not running properly, I wanna play this asap. It got me excited, but a simulator lagging like this? Comon

just a heads up to anyone considering buying this port as of oct 2020. the screen flashes severely to the point of the game being unplayable. pls patch Show more
