What sets it apart from most survival games is its unapologetic focus on real-world genetics, turning inheritance, mutation, and natural selection into the pillars of gameplay.
Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
38 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
This is a very fun game once you get through the initial islands and story mode.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
19 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The graphics and sound effects are an excellent match to the game contents, and if cute (though occasionally a bit deformed) creatures who purr and chirp as you interact with them are all one is to grade Niche on, then there are few games that can outscore it in that category.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
5 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The sounds in this game are awesome, from the soundtrack, to the actual nichling sounds- To predators and prey.
