SINoALICE is a
Japanese mobile game developed by PokeLab, published by Square Enix and directed by Yoko
Taro who is best known for his work on the Nier and Drakengard series.
The game was released on the 6th of June for both iOS and android platforms.
SINoAlice takes place in a fictional world known as "the Library."
The story revolves around fictional characters wanting to ressurect their respective authors
in order to continue on their stories and recieve their desired endings.
However, in order to do so, the characters have to work together to fight off evil forces
that devour stories and gather something known as "inochi" or "life."
Even with the knowledge that they will eventually have to kill each other off in order to fullfill
their wish.
So far, nine characters have been revealed: Alice, Snow White, Red Riding Hood, Briar
Rose, Cinderella, Pinocchio, Gretel, Kaguya-Hime and The Little Mermaid.
Right after starting the game, you'll be greeted by two dolls named Gishin and Anki
that act as the guides for the game by explaning various mechanics and story elements.
Although their intentions are a bit unclear, they'll still pop up with various tips throughout
the tutorial phase of the game.
After a short scene of dialogue, you'll be asked to do a "gacha" pull or a "summoning."
In SINoALICE you'll recieve magic stones as you go along clearing missions and gaining
points during events and such.
These magic stones are the currency that are used for summoning.
Unlike many other games with similar "gacha" mechanics, you'll only recieve new weapons
through summoning and not new characters.
Although these weapons are what unlock different jobs for different characters, we'll talk
more about this later.
After your first free summoning, the game will download more data before asking you
to pick your starter character.
You're allowed to choose from either Alice, Snow White, Red Riding Hood or Pinocchio.
When you've confirmed your selection, you'll be brought to the game's homescreen.
From the homescreen, you'll be able to navigate with ease using the seven tabs at the bottom
of the screen.
The first tab says "ホーム" which you guessed it, means home.
As in this is your homescreen.
Here is where your current main girl will be displayed.
In my case here, it's Snow White.
There isn't much to do at this screen as it's purpose is mainly just to act like
a hub.
But you can read about news updates and upcoming events here, if you're able to read Japanese,
that is.
Here, you can also see your EXP bar and your AP bar as well as play a "cleaning" game
where you tap the enemies on-screen as fast as you can to clear as many enemies as you
can before the timer runs out to get more AP, which will let you play more of the main story mode.
The large button at the top allows you to join a guild, however, you must have beaten
a certain amount of main game stories in order to be allowed to join a guild.
The book and the two buttons in the right corner of the home screen stand for "stories,
campaign and missions."
Which leads us to the next tab.
The second tab says "モノガタリ" which means story.
This is where the game's main story unfolds.
Of course, if you don't speak Japanese it'll be hard to follow along with what it happening
but of course you'll be able to enjoy playing the actual game anyway.
By clearning the first chapter of each character's story, you'll unlock them and be able to
add them to your arsenal as you go.
The story has a simple turn-based rock-paper-scissor style of gameplay where red beats green, green
beats blue and blue beats red.
Your weapons are displayed at the bottom of the screen and depending on the element of
the enemy, you should choose what weapon to attack with carefully instead of just randomly
tapping on whatever.
As you fight, you'll be joined by other helpers that will fight by your side in order
to take down the threat.
You're also able to summon creatures known as ''nightmares'' to help you.
You're also able to send chat messages or emotes from the menu at the bottom of the
screen, as well as to use the ''auto'' feature which essentially just means that the game
will pretty much play itself.
The third tab says "装備" which means equipment.
Here is where you're able to change your characters weapons and equipment, as well
as choose which character you want to make your main character.
If you're not sure about what weapons are the best, there is a "recommended" option
which will do the selecting for you.
This setting may not be the *most* optimal for experienced players but it works just
fine.
In short, there isn't too much you need to tamper with in this menu unless you actually
know what you're doing.
If you look at the card of a weapon, you'll be able to see the cards rank, its targets,
the amount of SP it'll consume to use and what action it performs -- meaning that it
might be an attack card, a buff card, a healing card or a debuff card.
This is important to keep in mind when using it in battle.
The fourth tab says "強化・売却" which means enhancements and selling.
From this menu you're able to enhance your current equpiment, uncap it or evolve it.
You're also able to enhance and uncap jobs, which I'll be explaning in a bit.
As well as to sell off equipment you don't want or need.
Again, unless you're sure of what you're doing, there isn't much to tamper with in
this menu either.
The fifth tab says "ガチャ" which means gacha or summoning.
Here is where you'll be able to summon more weapons like you were prompted to do in the
beginning of the game.
Like I said earlier, summoning does not give you new characters but only new weapons which
will lead to you unlocking new jobs for your characters along the way.
Different weapons have different attributes but they also apply to different ''jobs''
or ''roles.''
In SINoALICE, there are multiple versions of the same character but with a different
"job'' to variate between the characters.
For example, there's Breaker Alice and there's Cleric Alice.
There's also Breaker Cinderella and Sorcerer Cinderella, and so on.
The different forms allow for different weapons, strenghts and attributes so make sure to keep
your characters varied to adapt to new and difficult areas!
Weapons and equipment in SINoALICE can have one of six possible ranks.
With C being the lowest rank and L being the highest.
There are two ways of summoning new weapons, one single pull for 30 magic stones and one 10-pull for 300 magic stones.
The single pull is of course cheaper but if you're able to save up your magic stones,
the 10-pull is guarateed to always give you at least one weapon that is ranked either
S or above.
The sixth tab says "メニュー" which means menu.
This tab has 14 options that are all rather straightforward.
The first one is news, which allows you to read about new and upcoming additions to the
game.
The second tab is shop, which allows you purchase in-game items using real money.
The bullentin board shows you pinned messages created by other players.
The medal exchange lets you buy in-game items with the medals that you've earned.
The items option shows you a list of items.
The friend tab shows you the people that you've added to your friend list, as well as letting
you add new friends or blacklist people.
The ranking option shows you a ranking list of players.
In the gallery you can read stories and look at various artwork.
Presents allows you to look at your presents.
Various information means various information, mainy links to social media accounts and such.
Data transfer is for the people that want to transfer their game data between devices.
There is a help option for the people that have questions about the game.
Second to last is your profile, give it a tap to look at it.
And lastly, the options tab where you can mess around with some in-game graphics and
audio.
And the seventh and final tab says "チャット" which means chat.
Here, you can chat with other players and discuss current events or anything else that's
on your mind, really.
As of now, the game is region locked and so far there hasn't been any mention of an English
release.
So if you want to play the game yourself there are some ways around getting the app onto
your device.
I'm not Japanese, nor do I live in Japan but I do have a Japanese app store account which
allows me to download Japanese apps onto my phone.
Depending on what kind of phone you have, getting the app can be a rather tedious process
but I'm very invested in the game so far and I will definitely keep on playing it!
So I can't recommend it enough!
I hope you enjoyed this video and found it helpful.

know in the comments so that I know if you guys would be interested in maybe seeing some
deep dives into the game's story and characters.
This is definitely a game that has managed to catch my interest so I would love to talk
more about the game if given the chance.
For now though, I'd just like to say, thank you so much for watching!
