This game is truly a pay-to-play. If you have plenty of money laying around and don't think twice before spending, this game is for you. I initially loved this game for the designs and story but now, all I do is get Pop ups about "Purchase this item" or "Buy X amount to receive 'free' stuff!" Not free in the long run and if you think it's fun to play w/o spending $$, you will be sorely mistaken. #boycottLoveNikki til things change!
