The famous mobile shooting game Victory Goddess: NIKKE by Shift Up is once again causing an explosion in the gaming community.
The reason is none other than the appearance of the new beauty Delta: Ninja Thief – a character that embodies a cold ninja aura while possessing an irresistibly attractive demeanor. Just hours after the launch information was announced, the keyword Delta NIKKE quickly topped the trending list in Japan and South Korea, accompanied by a flurry of mixed comments from the online community.
According to the introduction from the game developer, Delta is an apprentice NIKKE with a dream of becoming a true ninja – a thief acting for justice.
Interestingly, her image is built on the combination of two seemingly opposing concepts, ninja and super thief. She is agile and skilled like a ninja, while also exuding the proud and seductive appearance of a master burglar. The tight-fitting battle outfit, along with a bold design featuring a half-mask, makes Delta the center of attention. Many gamers commented that, “Shift Up once again proves they are masters in designing seductive yet full of personality characters.”
According to the announcement from NIKKE Japan, the PickUp event to recruit Delta: Ninja Thief will officially kick off from October 16 to October 29. During this time, players will have the opportunity to acquire the character through a limited banner, as well as participate in missions and storylines revolving around Delta. Many gamers eagerly stated they have prepared thousands of recruitment tickets to “bring” her to their team. “I don’t even need to know her skills; with a design like this, I must have her!” – a comment that received thousands of likes on Twitter. Additionally, NIKKE hinted that expanded storyline content related to Delta will soon be updated, promising to delve deeper into her past and her role in the righteous team.
Although Delta is currently “making waves” on social media, not everyone is singing her praises. Some players believe that Shift Up is overusing fanservice elements, turning NIKKE into a “disguised body showcase game” rather than a serious shooting title. On Japanese forums, the debate has become even more heated as many people refer to Delta as the “new sexy icon of the gacha game genre,” while others argue that “her storyline and strong personality are what truly stand out.”
