The trick is that they will be someone completely different in each for instance a nosy young teen in Motorville is the daughter of a powerful sage in Ni No Kuni.Īs a result, it transpires that Ollie has the chance to undo what has happened within his world by helping out his toy-turned-fairy Mr Drippy with the problems that are occurring in Ni No Kuni. There is a unique twist to the world skipping as each is subtly linked whereby inhabitants in one world will also live in the world of Ni No Kuni or vice versa. It’s not long before young Ollie finds himself hopping between his own world and the world of Ni No Kuni after his cherished stuffed toy springs to life, claiming to be a fairy. This game is simply in a league of its own, nothing like this has ever been done before. The premise of the game is fairly predictable with a pre-teen boy finding himself entangled in all things magic and mysterious but the way in which the story unravels itself and how the story is written puts all other comparisons to bed. This being the first instant where Ni No Kuni slaps you in the face with its emotive nature and boy will it hit you. Living in the peaceful Motorville with his mother, it’s not too long before things come to an abrupt end and Oliver finds himself on the receiving end of a terrible tragedy. Ni No Kuni follows the story of Oliver, your typical happy-go-lucky kid who is the perfect model for what every child should be like polite, well-spoken and completely lovable.
From the creators of the popular Professor Layton series comes their latest hand-drawn product, a Role Playing Game set within a fictional Western civilisation. Ni No Kuni has been somewhat of a craze since it was released with many gamers nationwide not being able to get their hands on the illusive disc. We usually associate Japanese titles as being a bit crazy and off-the-wall but Level 5 have pumped their latest game with pure emotion and a sense of all things sombre. It is with great surprise and a genuine expression of joy that my head turns to the East in order to find the latest rarity to do all of the things mentioned above. As a result there are very few games out there anymore that want to make us happy, give us characters we actually relate to and ones that can genuinely make us empathise with those on screen. There’s a horrible trend within games these days and that is to make them as realistic as possible which is all well and good but in the process, many become far too serious for their own good.
