Inphyy is the main character in the game, as is evident from her presence on the box’s cover and the amount of depth placed into her moveset and campaign.

Fresh off completing Samurai Warriors 2, I moved into another “epic” hack and slash type game: Ninety-Nine Nights. I really liked the “N3: Ninety-Nine Nights” title design. I think maybe my favorite letter of the alphabet is N, so to see N3 very big right before the actual title seemed cool to me. How many other letters can be rotated 180 degrees and still look at the same? Besides the interesting design of the letter “N,” many things that I enjoy seem to start with N – Nintendo, Nautica, and New Balance. Would Ninety-Nine Nights also be added to this list? Unfortunately not. It has some fun gameplay elements, but several design decisions to the game hinder it more than help the game. While it’s easy for me to see why professional game reviews have given it such a low score, I believe that the game itself is slightly under-rated. Just slightly.
