One of the most anticipated mobile RPGs has found its way to your smartphone Android: Ni no Kuni: Cross Worlds is in the Google Play Store to immerse you in its spectacular setting created by the legendary Studio Ghibli. High quality graphics, a plot orchestrated to the smallest detail and a multitude of characters with which to interact.
It’s been a while since the line between mobile and desktop games has blurred, it is not in vain that we have seen titles with the complexity and extension of the console land on the touch screens of smartphones. Obviously, a phone will never be on the level of a PS5, an Xbox Series X or a PC with a good graphics card, but that’s no excuse to enjoy excellent titles. And Ni no Kuni aspires to this Olympus.
Quality has a weight: more than 3 GB
Ni no Kuni: Cross Worlds is a game based on high level graphics, with what that means. besides needing a mobile with dissolving power, the phone must have enough space to fully accommodate the download: 1.2 GB initial and almost 3 GB during the first start (4.58 GB saved on the mobile after installation). With a curiosity: the game offers entertainment during the initial loading through a simple mini-game.
Classic cut, set in a detailed epic universe, with Studio Ghibli design, six types of protagonists to choose from (customizable), open world to navigate in search of a large number of hidden mysteries and, ultimately, Ni no Kuni inherits the charisma of classic Japanese RPGs, transferring all that charm to the phone. And that’s how it is, don’t think it’s just another roleplaying game.
Ni no Kuni has been available in Japan for some time, but it’s only now that NetMarble has adapted the title, as well as the texts, to the various international languages; including Spanish (voices are in english). The feeling you get while playing it is that of stepping into an animated film with a certain futuristic cut: it seems incredible that Ni no Kuni: Cross Worlds is a free game.
The quality is high, yes, but we must not forget that it remains “free-to-play”. Purchases are present as cosmetic improvements, they also facilitate evolution within the game. Without this preventing progress more successfully without spending a pennyat least at a moderate level.
After pre-registration, and after NetMarble has activated the download in the process of activating the servers, they are already operational in Europe. The need for internet is one of the downsides of Ni no Kuni: you must login to play.
We find it to be an excellent game all around – we tested Ni no Kuni: Cross Worlds on a Google Pixel 6 and it ran at full quality with almost no heat. The interface adapts quite well to the controls (maybe a bit complicated when there are a lot of skills), the animations are of a huge quality and the whole game exudes that attention to detail that you see in the best titles.
Whether you like classic Japanese RPGs or want to get lost in an open world with lively graphics, Ni no Kuni is worth a download. It won’t cost you anything.
