"Goddess of Victory: NIKKE"
A game developed and published by Shift Up Corporation. Global open beta began on November 4, 2022. In the game, players take on the role of a rookie commander, leading Nikkes in battle against various enemies to reclaim the surface for humanity.
Worldview
Nikkes—humanity's last hope for reclaiming the surface. Bearing the name of this hope, these girls head to the surface. Nikkes can only be produced by the Ark's three major corporations and belong to the Central Government. They not only work to reclaim the surface but also perform duties in various fields within the Ark. Nikkes absolutely obey human commands and can never harm humans, even when their own lives are threatened.
Defeated, humanity fled underground. The Ark is the only remaining dwelling for mankind. The masters of the surface are no longer human.
Background Story
We lost.
The "Raptures" attacked without warning, brutally suppressing the humans on the surface. Their motives are unknown, and negotiation is impossible. Like a natural predator, they instantly turned the land into a sea of fire. In the face of their relentless, tsunami-like onslaught, all the technological achievements accumulated to date became meaningless. Humanity was simply the one being ravaged.
The humanoid weapons under development were our last hope, but their effectiveness was minimal, and the miracle that could turn the tide of battle never occurred. It was a complete and utter defeat. The surface was taken by the Raptures, and humanity was forced to migrate deep underground.
Decades later, in humanity's new home, the "Ark," the girls awakened. The humans who were driven underground had gathered all their technological prowess to create the "ultimate anti-Rapture humanoid weapon." The girls boarded an elevator to the surface, one that had not been opened for decades.
Humanity could only pray. That the girls would become our arrows, our sword of vengeance. Bestowed with a name born from this prayer, the girls head to the surface. To bring humanity its last hope for victory.
Their name is—Nikke.
Modernia
A character from the mobile game "Goddess of Victory: NIKKE."
Modernia is an SSR-quality Nikke from the Heretic squad. She is a Firepower-type unit, and her weapon is a machine gun.
Chinese Name: 神罰 (Shénfá)
Alias: Marian
Voice Actor: Kana Hanazawa
Gender: Female
Rarity: SSR
Weapon: Machine Gun
Corporation: Pilgrim
Class: Attacker
Squad: Heretic
Code: Burning
Modernia is manufactured by Pilgrim, belongs to the Heretic squad, has the Burning element, and wields a machine gun as a Firepower-type character. This Nikke's original identity was Marian, who died during the protagonist's first battle. Her brain was completely destroyed by "Code Name: Chatterbox" and she was subsequently brainwashed and rebuilt, leaving her memory a blank slate. As a result, she is very simple-minded and sometimes acts childishly, throwing tantrums like a kid. At the same time, she retains her original gentle personality. For some reason, she still remembers her own name and the word "Commander," and she has an extremely strong attachment to the bandages that were used to dress her wounds not long ago.
Modernia is also the only known case of a Heretic from the so-called "Queen's Elite" reverting back to a Nikke.
From the popular mobile game "Goddess of Victory: NIKKE" comes a Hyper Body figure of Modernia! She comes with four face plates including a "smiling face," a "happy face," a "serious face," and a "sad face." Accessories include her "back-mounted armament," "combat goggles," and an "interchangeable skirt for attacking poses." The armament on her back can be freely rotated. The waist parts are made of a flexible PVC material to ensure a wide range of motion for recreating in-game attack poses.
For all you commanders of culture out there, I'm sure the mobile game NIKKE completely satisfies your desires! This time, Hyper Body has secured the NIKKE license, and the first release is none other than the game's de facto heroine - Modernia!
The overall appearance is incredibly appealing. While the accessories are few, what I admire most is the paint application and coloring on her face. The skin tone on her face is handled beautifully and is very cute, and her key features—her ample chest and curves—are also executed brilliantly! And what I appreciate the most, of course, is the component that facilitates kneeling, allowing for a perfect recreation of that spectacular in-game pose where her butt is facing you as she fires! The design and sculpting of the hand parts are also very thoughtful, perfectly recreating various cute poses from the game.
Of course, this series is not without its flaws. The biggest issue is undoubtedly its articulation; don't even think about achieving a two-handed gun-holding pose. Furthermore, regarding the joint engineering, if you put her in a more dynamic pose, the joint gaps become very obvious.
Regardless, the good far outweighs the bad! I believe this will definitely be one of D.M.S.'s Top 10 Best Buys of 2025.
