Obey Me! NB Ikemen Otome Game Reviews

So I’ve been playing the original Obey Me for awhile (still haven’t completed it..) and I love the original! This version of the game is quite confusing to me, especially for the battle thing? I don’t know what you call it but why not keep the old dance battle? It was so much easier for me. I don’t know how it is for the rest of you that have played this but. I like how you can see what the brothers and side characters are doing but it drives me CRAZY that I have to be introduced to them all over again. I like the new FaceTime feature the put in there too. I still think it’s funny that m/c is a sheep, that is the best part in my opinion and I hope they never change that! Oh, almost forgot about the DevilGram. They changed the DevilGram so you don’t need a specific card to be able to see the first thing. It’s free but for the rest it’s the same: you’ll need the story keys, intimacy levels, etc.. AND the fact that your choices effect the actual story line! But the animated version of them creeps me out and makes me laugh a bit. But either way, if you download the game then try to figure out the battle thing a bit better than me please!

Now, I adore this game even more than the original. Rhythm games are very fun to me, and that’s the majority of the gameplay apart from the story (which has been really good so far). I do have some issues with it though.

1. Grimm is incredibly hard to come by.

Grimm is the currency of the game and you use it to level up your cards, but it’s hard to even get enough Grimm for one card, much less three core cards and three memory cards. The XP isn’t enough to level yourself up, and it’s frustrating. There is a way to get enough Grimm, but it’s very difficult and tedious. Jobs don’t produce enough Grimm for the early game, either.

2. The intimacy levels.

I know they’ve patched this somewhat, but the levels still tend to reset a bit. It’s usually fine and it’s not a major issue, but it’s still annoying.

3. Barbatos’s Song Remix.

This is a personal issue. This game remixed songs from each character, and most of them are good. Except for Crazy About You.

It is a rhythmic mess and I find it hard to play just because it does not make sense. It doesn’t sound bad, it just sounds uncoordinated. My favorite remixes are Hungry Six Pack, No. 1, Arcadia, Read My Heart and Our Destiny, but Crazy About You is just annoying to play, even if the vocals are fantastic.

It’s a wonderful game that I fully intend to continue playing, but these are just my opinions. If you liked the original and/or like rhythm games, this is a great one to play!

I’ve been playing obey me for 3 and a half years now and let me just say, this is such a great update idea to the game. The functions are pretty smooth and I love the ideas they have such as face time with the demons, watching them on a fake tik tok😭(so unexpected but funny). I love it all. In my opinion it’s just as good if not better than the first game. Storyline never fails to amaze me and im excited to go on this journey with them again. Only thing I would change about this is the Muse dash- like mini games that replaced the dance battles. I love the idea don’t get me wrong, it’s more entertaining than the dance battles to be honest. I just wish the timing was more accurate when pressing the action. There’s a second in delay and it doesn’t completely match the rhythm of the music. But it’s still fun and great overall. Thank you game devs, voice actors and the team behind this game for making an unforgettable game experience that I’ll continue to play for more years to come🫶🏼!

I’ve been playing the OG Obey Me game since around the beginning and I loved it. The storyline, the characters, the cards and art was all so beautiful and invigorating however the dance battles left a lot to be desired (they really weren’t up to you). However in Nightbringer, your victory is in your own hands, as long as try your best and get high combos and keep up with the demons you’ll most likely pass and it’s more fun than sitting around waiting for the demons to charge up just for you to tap them. 10/10 recommend AND U GET A FREE UR+ OF LUCIFER. The storyline is also super interesting and follows a similar path to that of the OG storyline (which makes me think that fate predetermined everything). Please just try this game it’s super good.

I have been an OG Obey Me player since it was launched. Nightbringer basically has newer features, a different premise, and shows the “lore” side of the original game and characters we all know and love. However, so far the story itself is very similar to the OG Obey Me storyline. This can be a good or bad thing depending on the person. But since Nightbringer was advertised to be a new and different story from OG Obey Me, it felt like I was reading the storyline from OG Obey Me other than some plot changes— making me wonder if it was worth having a different app at all.

The rhythm game mechanisms was refreshing at first to see. But the controls were rather difficult to understand, even for someone like me who has experience with rhythm games. I would suggest having options to reduce and increase difficulty levels to make it a more enjoyable experience for players.

I loved the new concepts of video call, Wanderers Wheresbouts, and Fab Snap which allowed me to interact with the Obey Me characters. But I admit the animation style feels a bit uncanny. The concept is great, and I understand that having detailed models can be difficult to add, but I do agree that the animation quality is of lower-quality tier. But it is still a fun concept nonetheless.

Otherwise, I think Nightbringer has a lot of potential and I look forward to see how ObeyMeNBIkemenOtomeGame and story will progress in the future!

As somebody who plays rhythm games like muse dash I was excited to see a game i play have a rhythm version of it. I was hoping this version wasn’t so heavily reliant on character leveling for a S score and wished good accuracy would be enough, sadly this is not the case. Knowing the game recently came out this might be a lot but I was wishing they could optionally change the difficulty the songs in normal mode to something higher. It would be nice if you could get a higher score by doing harder songs. The gameplay note placement feels a little off but bearable. Other than that i’m invested in the storyline and am constantly rushing the stages to get the next part of the story. The 3d models bug me but that’s the usual for 3d anime models. They’re way more generous with devil points in this version than the og game. I am looking forward to see the progress of this game in the future

I wish I could give this game better but oh my god I’m holding my cuss words for the changes you guys made. You made it so you literally cannot level cards past 70 without making it level 2. It makes the game much more gacha focused and… PAY TO WIN. I bought the $60 beginner package at the beginning and have done a bunch of grinding as well. I had to use everything… everything to get a single UR+ card to level 2. If you’re going to make level 2 necessary make it easier to get the skill level up cards, because my UR and UR+ cards are absolutely useless. I had to spend EVERYTHING to hope to use my Leviathan card. I’m heavily disappointed with the money-grabbing changes and I will be stopping my membership and all support for this game. I thought I had found a game that cared for it’s player base and their wallets, but all gacha companies are the same. You already had so much support for this game, people were going to spend so much money anyway. It’s so disgusting to use these tactics, preying on people who like dating sims.

As someone who has played Obey Me! in the past, it may be a bit biased.

I love the ideas Nightbringer has. As someone has said, in order to truly understand the game, you would need to get to lesson 80 in Shall We Date. However, that doesn’t drive away from what context clues were given.

I love the idea of the rhythm games, but the only thing I’m caught up on is how it is practically like this other rhythm game that came out before it known as Muse Dash. Down to the style, enemies, notes, ghost notes, jumps, and bosses. It’s the exact same gameplay but with recognizable characters. I wish they had brought something a bit different for the rhythm game portion. It was a bit disappointing. Perhaps they were inspired by Muse Dash, but it just looks like a copy to me.

Other than that, the 3D models were a bold choice. Some can look pretty janky at times, but overall they capture the character. It seemed like some of the model mouths got stuck in certain positions, but that’s to be expected, as stuff like that happens all the time in 3D VR games.

I love the series as a whole, and I love how we can be in the perspective of a demon, however, I wish there were some proper credit somewhere (if I missed it disregard this) to Muse Dash.

I’ve been playing the original Obey Me! since early 2020. I was a bit upset to learn they wouldn’t continue the Lessons on the original OM! app but my disappointment was gone when I downloaded Obey Me Nightbringer. The writing has improved an impressive amount, the story feels less like filler, it’s more significant. I enjoy the rhythm game SO much more than the dance battles from the original OM! it’s easier and I actually enjoy doing them. I dreaded the dance battles but I look forward to doing the rhythm game.

The story keeps me hanging on and wanting to know what happens next. I can’t wait to see what else they add to ObeyMeNBIkemenOtomeGame and also see how the story progresses.

Ok soo here’s the thing I keep on trying to play the game but I can’t the home screen is as far as I go after that it kicks me out. but I have seen videos of the game also one other thing is that in the original game the events and pop quizzes are for nightbringer it doesn’t go with that game people who don’t have the game or don’t know about the game might be confused by it but if you look past all that it’s really good you guys did a really nice job on it but the required IOS is 12 and mine is later than that so if it is possible could you please try fixing that problem I really want to play this game but I can’t so please take this minute to read this and I know there are other people who have the same problem if this problem is fixed I will gladly change the review because the main thing I am upset about is that I can’t play it please and thank you😁☺️

I’ve been a big fan of Obey Me since discovering its original game and I fell in love with each and every one of the characters. Not to mention the amazing story and overall atmosphere is something I can’t get enough of. Now that Nightbringer is here, it’s been amazing seeing the backstory and more in-depth lore of the characters and before we met them in the original game! I can’t wait for more lessons and to see more of the story especially considering how amazing and fun it is so far. The new models, rhythm game aspect, and new setup is wonderful and I definitely recommend it to anyone who is a fan of otome games and the Obey me series!

Birthday events are no longer available and that just pisses me off considering theyve been a huge part of the original Obey Me! game. Those events would cater to a specific character so it baffles me why this would be removed especially since it encoueages players to pull for their favorite characters even more. Furthermore grinding is difficult without being a pay2win player, the card upgrading system is awful now because you’d need skill level 2 and thats just not possible because the joker cards are expensive/difficult to get OR grinding the card is difficult enough. So dissapointing because most of the concepts introduced are great but it just shows that there’s a huge paywall AND birthday events are removed and there are stilk multiple bugs in-game. Disappointing. Please do something about this.

I thought this was going to be a game where it lets you pick who you fall in love with first but once I learned that it might be pushing everyone into the direction of where it wants to go. It made me a little sad when I first loaded up the game, I looked at all the characters and picked out which ones I liked the most about at least an hour in the playa through you don’t even have an interaction with this character yet the game is it really anywhere near what I thought it would be and I wish there was at least something that let you free Romn play where you want and stuff for the game wants you to

I instantly played the first obeyme game when it came out and this one , now let me tell you I absolutely love the first one but this one is sooo much better with the way everything is set up and how much cleaner everything looks also there are new things to do ! It makes it more interactive and fun ! The vr models (that’s basically what they are ) of them are so cool and I like watching them do things ! so far my newest favorite added thing was the video call 😭
It’s different but the same and they definitely outdid themselves with this !

The new gameplay is fun, but everything else is too similar to the original. The new story / feature could have easily just been added to the original where many users already have the foundation of cards & other features that were paid for. Having to start over after playing the original for 3+ years is very frustrating, especially with the original game not getting any more story. I am fine starting over with the story / game part, but not having all of the stuff that i paid / grinded for just feels like a scam. I think there should be a way to transfer data / materials or at least players of the original should get some kind of bonus.

There’s a $500 whale card on launch, they got rid of some of the ftp options & limited them to once a month, as said above they whitewashed three different characters.

Worst of all they put a “white substance” on the child character’s face (& only him) & the other card was him putting a phallic shaped instrument in his mouth, one he’s never been associated with before. 2/3 cards on launch are pandering to pedos & who knows what happens when you unlock their stories. They also put out an official body pillow with him.

They forced a migration for this? They don’t even use the new features in the story and lied about even odd things like not having pacts anymore on top of pretending to release the final season a week before this came out so people would keep paying in the old app.

Honestly, it’s only been out for a few hours, so I might be biased. So far I’m really enjoying the game. Took a bit to start learning how things worked, and had to take the tutorial twice. Though it’s overall fun. From the one lesson I’ve done and the two phone calls I’ve received, I think the story and characters are good, if not better than the original game. I mean in a phone call with Barbatos he’s just so alive!! The 3D models, though low quality, do make the characters feel more real. It’s also fun to watch Lucifer do yoga lol! In conclusion, as the game is new we’ll have to wait and see. But so far I recommend it.

I just started playing at 23:00 yesterday, really excited. It is different, but a lot of things are the same, but maybe it's because I have only beat 5 lessons so far. I see a lot of people no liking the 3D models but I think they're cute! But it's kind of fancy, the cards, the vouchers, everything. I like it like that, but just a heads up if your reading my review! Also I wish you could skip the tutorial, I just wanted to play the game and it's kind of long for a tutorial. So far its really good though. 5/5 :)

I’ve been playing the original Obey Me! for about two years. I absolutely adore it, and it’s one of my favorite games. I love the characters and plot. The only part I wasn’t a fan of was the minigame between chapters. It just didn’t entertain me as much.

This game, however, is such an improvement in that aspect. It maintained the same characters and humor I’ve loved for years, but the new rhythm minigame is so much better than the original minigame in my opinion! This one feels like it’s more based on a combination of skill and card level, while the original minigame was mainly focused on card level.

This is a bit unrelated, but I also like the “claim all” button in the To Do screen. I don’t believe it’s in the original game (unless I just missed it), but it makes it so much more convenient to collect rewards.

Overall, I am just loving this game so far, and I can’t wait to see how it goes!

ObeyMeNBIkemenOtomeGame didn’t even give me one of those “rate our app plz🥺” things- I just love this game so much I’m writing it myself! The music and the gameplay are 100x more fun then the previous game with more stories and fun! And much more interaction! If you didn’t play obey me before I STILL recommend ObeyMeNBIkemenOtomeGame! (Unless you don’t have a new game to be absolutely CRAZY for!) all the character are absolutely precious and have so much fun interactions- I 100 % recommend this to anyone who likes rhythm games or cute guys

I love this game and I think the music battle session is better and more fun than the original, but one thing that needs to be updated is how you get an S tier. To get an S in a song, it relies on the characters more than accuracy, which isn't the best decision, in my opinion. I believe that accuracy should be how you get an S. But in the gameplay, it relies on the character rarity to get an S, which isn't the best decision, as it would probably be better to rely on accuracy, because it makes more sense.
I still really love this game and the characters though and I'm looking forward to seeing this game grow!

Oh my god! I’ve been playing obey me for a couple of years now and I fell in love with it instantly. Once I got this new phone, I wanted to download it again and realized there was another version.

When I first downloaded it, it was confusing and different, causing me to delete it. But I decided to give it another chance and actually go through the tutorial instead of rushing through it.

The tutorial honey is amazing. Very clear and explains things very well. If only that first time I slowed down and realized it’s supposed to be different.

It’s an upgrade from the regular obey me! More features! Omg they even have an app in game where you can see animated videos of the characters! Like 3d animation.

Seeing the characters like that instead of the normal drawn 2d versions is like a dream come true.

Video chats! With the characters, are you kidding me!?

Like for real, night bringer is seriously genius and I hope you guys never take it off of ObeyMeNBIkemenOtomeGame Store. I’ll cry. Lol.

OJ Obey Me! player here, and I have to say I really really enjoy the updated aspects of this game! I love the dance battle parties and the fact that there are some aspects that are now easier to achieve then in the original game (like UR+ cards & Devil Points). Of course every game or even app has its things it can absolutely work in, like how we should have easier and more efficient ways to earn money in the game as well as making it easier to achieve Tickets to get cards and level them up! It is easier to do so when you have VIP but even then its not much. Even with the downs of this game I’m still rating a 5 star because it is quite addicting and the upgraded aspects to nightbringer keep me entertained and really attached to ObeyMeNBIkemenOtomeGame! I still have the original game and still I find myself just a bit more entertained with nightbringer! So its a 5 for me :)

Hear me out, I've seen a lot of criticism on Night bringer's storyline being too similar to the original game. While this is true, I dont feel mad about it!

I think the devs working on the game had a vision for how much better it could be on the budget that they have with the success of Obey Me! While they couldve changed the original app, I think thatd be doing a disservice to players who prefer it to the new plans they have in store.

Obey Me Night Bringer is more engaging than the main game on SO many levels; plus, I feel like the Ruri Tunes minigame is more fun, looks sleeker, & fits the core of Obey me so much better than the dance battles did! The interface of Night Bringer is also less eclectic, with big improvements to the game's art as well. The storyline may be similar, but I think the reason for that is the fact that the devs didnt wanna make a brand new game. They wanted to make a BETTER Obey Me, and they absolutely surpassed expectations for that.

All in all, this game feels a lot less like every other gacha mobile game than the original did. It improved GREATLY on some pay to win aspects (which werent that bad in the OG obey me, but now they feel even more fair), and genuinely feels like a real game that the devs put a lot of passion into. I feel like I could binge Night Bringer for actual hours every day & not get bored. This is a video game sequel (prequel?) done right.

I’ve played the first game before (haven’t finished it yet) and thought it was very fun so when I found out there was another obey me game I flipped out, and let’s just say this game reached my expectations, though I do wish this game had the special events like the original game dose but that’s not a big deal. I love this game all the same, you get to learn a little more about the characters and how they came to be and you get to see new worlds! My personal favorite characters are Asmodeus and Belphegor I find them very funny and cute and this game only increases that love for them! So all and all this game is great if you love the first game!

As much as I enjoyed the OG game, this one was kind of a let down. I like playing the ruri tunes (when I’m even able to. My cards seem to never be strong enough after lesson 20 no matter how much I level them up or upgrade devils tree) but at this point the story isn’t what it had the potential to be, especially in events. I usually just skip the story now, even though it used to be my favorite part of the games. I'm probably not the target audience anymore since I’m 18 now, but at least rated T for teens would have been better. I miss the more developed and even sometimes spicy or actually angsty stuff. I don’t know if I like the game much anymore, but I’m hoping logging in everyday and doing my daily tasks will help in the future if I ever get that spark back.

When NB first came out I was so happy to see a different version of the game and it gave back that charm and spark that original OB had when it first came out. It was fun and I enjoyed the story so far! However, the more I played the same issues that happened in the original obey me resurface.

It is hard to level up cards because later levels past 80 is grimm eaters and hard to keep it up. Levels later in Ruri tunes are not friendly to new comers and has the same issues when it comes to passing the stage like the previous obey me. Ranking event rewards are a little better now since the devs listened but gameplay wise, it feels lacking. And the VIP reward feels like there could be more. Along with the brothers’ personalities being tone down on the English version, it kills the actual grim part of the story.

I do still love the game but it’s having the same issues that killed the original Obey Me.

I love OBM Nightbringer since he get to know about the brothers and the others as well in a deeper level than the first Obey Me! game. Especially how the story keeps making me think of how much information we don’t know much about the boys then we usually did in the first game. The plot twist on each chapter keeps making me come back more and more and I can’t wait for more chapters to come, especially on the event stories as well. I do wish there was like a free time from event stories to get people time to work on the main plot stories, cause I’m way behind on chapters because of the event stories. I still love this game though.

First of all, I love this game. It's fun and the story is good but there are some issues...
The main currency: "Grimm" is INCREDIBLY difficult to actually get. Grimm is used to level up cards and throughout the game the levels get more difficult, and here's where the problem lies... I would get stuck on a certain level with no way to update my cards because I don't have enough Grimm. Well... I could just replay the previous levels right? Yeah but let's say it costs 6,000 Grimm to level up a card so I can pass a level. However you only get 200 Grimm each level, so you technically have to waste all your stamina in order to level up ONE card. It's incredibly annoying.

This is probably my favorite game of the kind (idk what to call it) it's fun to play, the characters are all aesthetically pleasing, and have fun personalities, and they're easy to feel connected to. I lost my old account but replaying the game has been really fun and the game has become a lot more beginner-friendly since its launch, the rewards are good. The game is easy to understand so it's pretty fun to play in your free time. The only small issue I faced when I originally played the game is that sometimes it takes a while to level up your cards to go into the next level you want to play, but I think that is just me being impatient, and I also haven't had that issue yet and I'm on lesson 7. Overall give the game a try, it's really fun.

I think this game is a big improvement over the original Obey Me! game in terms of gameplay. The Ruri Tunes battles are genuinely more fun than the original dance battles in the original game. Plus, you can grind for UR+ cards in hard mode.

About the only down side is the fact that it’s still kinda hard to get UR memory cards, but it’s (mostly) easier to build your deck.

The main story is really well written, though I have to mention that the chats are not quite as good as the original game. They tend to be the same no matter what choice you pick, unlike the original game where the decision trees had more variety.

I removed one star from my score simply because I don’t like the VIP subscription in both games, and I prefer to buy packs when they’re on sale instead.

I’m still not quite happy with how both games are monetized, but obviously it’s helped the company keep running the game instead of going out of business. As in, if you want to have enough AP to completely “clear” event runs each day, you’re gonna have to either save those AP presents from at least a few events or spend your pulling currency.

I really do not like spending my pulling currency for something as basic as AP or run refills. It means that you are spending money to play the game when I’d prefer to spend money on extras (costumes) or pulls.

Just like the first game, I’ve been playing this game since day one and it is still AMAZING. I love the first game but honestly the second one is a bit better than the first one because the dance battles are way more interesting and Devil Points are WAY easier to get. The only annoying thing is that, for some reason, they made it to where you can't get Demon Vouchers with Devil Points..so now you have to level up in order to spend your Devil Points to get Demon Vouchers from the level up reward. Either that or spend your raven on them (which is harder to get on this game for some reason).

When they first announced the game I was really excited for it to come out however the more we learned about it I started to feel bummed out since non of our cards would be transferable and our work on OG would just become useless since it’s no longer being updated. I do like how NB Home Screen works however I think it’s a lot less cluttered than OG and it’s much more convenient. The story line is pretty interesting and it keeps you engaged however it gets very difficult to get through lessons at a certain point(I’m very behind on lessons right now😭) over all I can’t really complain about NB I just wish we could be nicer to Asmo since the game is sort of trashing him now? (Not sure if they’ve fixed it yet) and I miss my cards from OG I worked really hard for that🫠 I love wanderers whereabouts though I appreciate how it’s giving more opportunities to hear the voice actors. Overall I’ll still give it a 5 star review because I still love Obey Me in general.

I love the change from the old dancing battle mini games to a a rhythm game. It makes me feel like I’m actually playing a game instead of just leveling up cards.

I will say, story wise, I am disappointed that the original game is not being worked on. I feel like we earned our relationship with the brothers in that game where as in this one they just kind of started to simp immediately . And some things just don’t make sense timeline wise like Luke being around and him and Simeon coming to the Devildom just a year after the celestial war. That being said, I enjoy the extra lore we are getting with Solomon and Barbatos and I really. really hope that Thirteen gets to be added as a romance-able character by the time lesson 41 comes out.

I really love this game, I played the original a lot back in 2021. It stays close to the original story while making a lot of (mainly) good changes! The characters are very fun and loveable, and the story is entertaining. The only complaints I have are about the gameplay. To level up your cards past level 60/70, you’d need to get an additional card which can be really hard to do for FTP players. This makes it so that the farther you get into the story, the harder it is to actually progress unless you’ve spent some money. The devs have made this a little easier to get around, but it’s still a problem. Overall it’s a pretty fun game, I’d recommend it to anyone who likes story based games and non-binary main characters!

The game already started with levels more difficult to complete than Obey Me! Shall We Date?, but the Ruri Tunes function is steadily getting harder and harder to get through. It’s harder to level cards, harder to GET good cards in the first place, and the only suggestion the devs have for it is to pay money that not everyone has.

A common fan suggestion- that is, an accessibility option that would allow players to pass a level with a C rank if they got a full combo or perfect finish- has not been implemented, nor have any others, leaving no way to get through the story without backbreaking effort or money put into the game. “Free to play” is sounding more and more like satire. Market your game honestly or make it more accessible.

I shouldn’t ever have to spend 2 minutes delaying IN GAME ADVERTISING for IN GAME CONTENT, to play. The fights are terrible even if you have a good team since they are rythm only and lag a lot. The story isn’t good either I prefer the original all around at least my game dosent freeze in the original trying to load advertisements for things that cost real money… And not only that, I can click close 15 times before it’s done with the animation I never agreed to look at in the first place. I don’t care if you’re showing me trash for a new event, I don’t care if it’s something I want STOP SPAMMING THE FEED AND LET ME PLAY AS SOON AS I OPEN THE GAME. I’d get if it’s an pop up every few times you play but EVERY time you load the game? It’s just so annoying.

Update developer response: I alleviate bringing it up to the team, it’s just annoying that there’s ‘always’ a sale/event/random thing happening and you a forced to watched laggy, annoying animated cutscenes every time they add things to the game, which is incredibly annoying especially when the ‘3d’ models look so bad I keep stop playing since I don’t want to see them. Ever. Same with the laggy ads that no matter how many times I click close sit there until it’s done loading then.

While the story line is definitely quite similar to the previous game, it’s a better experience in a lot of ways! The dance battles in the previous game have been changed into mini rhythm games very reminiscent of Muse Dash. This just makes these levels a lot more fun and has more of an impact on your score if you’re skilled enough to keep your combo! Though I will admit that as someone who’s played a fair amount of rhythm games, the beat maps could definitely be improved, with some higher difficulty levels.
There’s also a good amount of options for ftp players I think, since if you can do some extreme levels and keep at it you don’t even have to go through gacha to get UR+ cards anymore. Though I do wish that for people that connected their accounts they would get extra bonuses in this new game, I also don’t mind starting from the very beginning again.
I definitely recommend it to people that enjoyed the original game, or didn’t get to play it before! :)
