For fans of NiER, the Drakengard series, NieR: Automata, and Square Enix in general, the wait is finally over to snag Yoko Taro’s most recent project.

Following its indefinite delay, mobile RPG SINoALICE has finally made its way to Western audiences from Japan as a free-to-play title available on iOS and Android devices. Famous Japanese director, Yoko Taro, was the Creative Director and writer for SINoALICE, while composer Okabe Keiichi·MONACA provided the game’s score.

In SINoALICE, players will enter the “Library” as they progress various characters’ stories through an unfinished book. This isn’t exactly a fairy tale, though, as the characters’ stories are cruel and dark, while - unbeknownst to them - each character is fatefully intertwined with the others.

Besides the game’s story mode, players will be able to take on challenging enemies in real-time cooperative battles. A 15-v-15 Guild Battle mode is also an option for players looking for even more of a fight.

SINoALICE was originally delayed indefinitely last year, citing localization quality not living up to what it needed to be. In March 2020, it was announced that the game would be released on July 1st, with loads of content being released during the buildup to its release. Thankfully, SINoALICE did, in fact, release on July 1st, bringing its dark, yet beautifully constructed RPG action to Western mobile devices.

Even though the game has barely released (and only has seven total user reviews), SINoALICE is currently sitting pretty at a perfect score of 5 out of 5 on the App Store. If that’s not enough incentive to check it out, the game is currently rated at 4.5 out of 5 stars on Google Play from more than 45,000 users, most of which cite a beautiful art style and musical direction, as well as just being an overall fun and addicting game to play. 

SINoALICE can be downloaded for free (with in-app purchases available) for iOS and Android devices, from the App Store and Google Play, respectively.
