Nivalis is a paid simulation game from ION LANDS. In this cyberpunk urban experience, you get to live a virtual life in a futuristic city. You can establish a business and serve patrons in the metropolis. You can then go home to a personal space that you can customize with a mix of sci-fi and aesthetic items. Sell noodles from your humble stall or provide items to needing customers, then rise up the ranks to ultimately control the city’s nightlife.

Its neon-colored cyberpunk vibes make Nivalis feel like a cross between Cyberpunk 2077 and Grand Theft Auto V.

A neon-colored nightlife

The main feature of Nivalis is the opportunity to try life in a futuristic, cyberpunk-inspired city. It offers a full, living city populated by AI-controlled characters and entities. It is actually a single-player experience with no multiplayer gameplay available, despite its premise. Every corner of the city features a high level of detail, with features that make it more lifelike, such as a changing weather system. 

As mentioned, the game tasks you with rising through the ranks of the city’s commerce circles. You can choose how to start, with a variety of business prospects for you to explore. Grow your business, establish your name, and gain enough money and influence. Its slice-of-life sim aspect really shines through with the range of customization available. You get to design every corner of your shop and your home.

Most games in the cyberpunk aesthetic, like Cyberpunk 2077 or GhostWire: Tokyo, are focused on fast-paced action that uses the neon-colored environment as a background. In this game, however, you are given more opportunities to appreciate the scenery and experience a slower-paced life in a similar location. As such, expect little to no instances of fighting or any other adrenaline-rushing experience.

Create your own cyberpunk paradise

In a refreshing take on the cyberpunk idea, Nivalis lets you experience what it's like to try and create a living and achieve commercial supremacy in a brightly-colored town with all its futuristic amenities. The game offers a sufficient variety of activities for you to try and even more customization options for your store as well as your home. Challenging, immersive, and ultimately fun. Recommended.
