Nimbit Frontier

its pretty chill. wish there was more to the roguelike aspect but its Early Access so thatll come later.

Yeah its a great game. I can't wait for the full release. Many blessings to god's favored married game developers.

Loving this game!

I'm completely obsessed. What a wonderful game.

TL;DR: you have a best friend/corgi that follows you around, can be powered up, and whom YOU CAN PET, TWICE A DAY Gameplay thoughts: Incredibly well-designed. I grew up on Pokemon and I love it, it feeds the hoarder in my soul, but you do always kind of just have to push down the mild skeeviness of knowing you're doing digital dog-fighting. Nimbit Frontier is a creature collector game that redefines the genre, and you play as a conservationist! Woo!! Punching little critters in the face, for conservation! The gameplay is surprisingly deep, and the game does a good job of incentivizing you to try everything out. Do you optimize habitats for peak comfort or to encourage your nimbits to develop certain beneficial traits? You could buy a ton of incubators to have a constant stream of Nimbits for release, but then that requires figuring out which species cohabitate best in your limited habitat space and making compromises while ensuring they can still reach developmental benchmarks. The dungeons have a trinket system to discover, unlockable charms that change the daily gameplay, and weather conditions and other changing forecasts (gold surge, mimock surge, etc) that affect what you can encounter while diving! Even if you've gotten the nimbit you wanted, these changes mean there are always plenty of reasons to revisit an area on certain days! Fishing, which is often the bane of my virtual existence in other games, is innovative and fun in Nimbit Frontier. In other games, my poor character often lives in nigh-squalor. I'm talking chests on most walkable squares + the starting chair in a corner + starter bed in front of the door. Not so here, though! In this game, my character actually gets furniture, because furniture gives stat boosts! And this is only some of it, as I'm trying not to spoil everything here, but my point is, this game puts maximum effort into every little detail. Personal thoughts: If you like cozy games or creature-collector games at all, I HIGHLY recommend you give Nimbit Frontier a shot! Yeah, there are a dozen new cozy games coming out a week, and generally a lot of them kind of feel the same; good enough to scratch an itch, but nothing exciting. Don't get me wrong; I play and like those games too, and there's nothing wrong with them, but that is NOT Nimbit Frontier. Nimbit Frontier is out here, trying entirely new things and doing it with some of the best indie art in the biz! I truly think it would be a travesty to let it be one of those games that slips by unnoticed, lost in the crowd of new releases. It's the first release from an incredibly promising duo, and if their very first foray is this ambitious and polished, well, I'm supporting them because I want to see what else they're going to do! Plus, it is absolutely jam-packed with charm to find in every detail, and at $14 full priced, it's a steal!

An amazingly fun game! Some elements I wish would be made a bit more clear (no idea how to get grooming or vocalization), but overall an extremely solid game. I’m excited to see how the full release will expand.

garbage game. will give you multiple quests to go do something, but wont tell you how or where. "get tools." i spent hours looking for tools, ZERO vendors sold tools. thats just one example. i'm not spending hours of my life trying to figure out vague quests that give zero context on what to actually do in the game.

I'm having a good time.
