While Fashion Dreamer may not be a game for everyone, it is exactly what it promises to be: a game where fashion fans can spend dozens of hours trying to find the perfect look.
Fashion just doesnt get better on the Switch. With a very addictive gameplay loop and a relaxing time spent, the simplicity is just to die for. And no annoying story is a plus. This a game, not a book, how dare thee try to bore thee.
Syn Sophia finally brings the world of fashion to Nintendo Switch. Fashion Dreamer is a game full of possibilities, clothes and patterns where Likes have devoured every possible story. A beautiful and stylish title whose biggest enemy is its gameplay loop and progression.
Fashion Dreamer is a solid fashion simulator that nails outfit creation and its colorful aesthetic but the lack of any real structure holds its single-player component back from greatness.
Fashion Dreamer is a game that tries to do too much at once and fails to focus on making the game satisfying in the first place. With all the different forms of currency, different ways to get free clothes, gacha games and bingo games, it is completely unfocused and doesn’t put enough effort into the important stuff: the fashion and a tangible sense of growth as you become more and more popular. There are plenty of older and much better fashion games out there, so Fashion Dreamer really shouldn’t be at the top of your list.
Fashion Dreamer’s main focus of creating outfits is enjoyable, but there isn’t a whole lot else going on in the game. Some players might be able to spend hours just collecting clothing items and putting together different combos for their muse and other avatars to show off. However, those who enjoyed the more mechanics-heavy and story-influenced elements of the Style Savvy series aren’t going to find the same charms in Fashion Dreamer. Either way, it’s probably worth waiting for the price to drop before trying this one on for size.
Less fun than Maison du Style, less educational than Young Stylist, Fashion Dreamer has everything to envy of its predecessors due to far too poor content and ultra-limited fun. If tirelessly offering outfits to NPCs and players without benefiting from any story input or real game objectives is enough for you, the experience may be right for you. For our part, we mainly remember a dressing game without much effort and above all extremely repetitive. In short, clearly one of the worst Nintendo Switch exclusives of the year.
This game is super fun if you give it a chance! It may seem slow at first but the first time playing it is slow since you won’t have many things unlocked. Once you understand the actual point of the game it’s really limitless when it comes to the gameplay possibilities. This game definitely doesn’t deserve the negative reviews, especially if those reviews are coming from people that only picked up the game once. Give it a try, and I’m super excited for future updates and content :)
The game "Fashion Dreamer" is not suitable for every player. You can't expect a pretty and good title for the Switch. But if you like fashion and like to immortalize yourself and have ideas in this genre, you can have a lot of fun in this life simulation. This makes the title really worth playing again and can keep you busy for several hours. If you like games like this, you can't go far wrong with "Fashion Dreamer".
I love to play dress up games and was very excited about this game, I still enjoyed it plenty for what it is, but I can not justify buying it when it's a full $70 when its just a dress up game and nothing else, Its a must buy just as long as its on sale
My positives
-I like dressing avatars (both NPC and player)
-I like making clothing
-It's a really chill, relaxed game
-Character creation options are open to both genders (called body types in game)
Negatives
-There really isn't a lot to do. You make outfits, make clothing items, decorate your showroom, and take pictures.
-There is little-to-no plot or story. You are an influencer on an avatar-based fashion game(?) called Eve. You're main goal is to raise your influencer rank by gaining followers (which is more like experience points).
-NPCs are extremely flat in terms of character. Each NPC has a gimmick (likes summer, is a big sister, lies, etc.). They repeat the same dialog over and over again. You also have no real control as to who shows up in the map (called a Cocoon). This **** because you unlock more character customization options via talking and making outfits for the NPCs.
-Male/Type B characters are in a weird limbo: the clothes are gendered and Female/Type A characters have way more options in terms of clothing, both in terms of types of items and items in general. Accessories (Hats, Glasses, and Earrings) can be worn by both genders. Both genders/body types have items that could work on the other gender just fine.
-You can't change the colors of your make up. The make ups are pre-set and that's it.
-Filtering your items while making an outfit is extremely limited: i.e. it only filters by general type of item (tops, bottoms, one pieces, etc.). You can't filter between colors, patterns, materials, smaller item types, styles, etc. You can make favorites lists where you save items in lists, which some have tried to use to make categories.
+Can relieve stress + Nice relaxing soundtrack
-Online mode is the only real way to play -Limited clothing options -Boring gameplay loop -Gatcha odds for rare clothing is too low -Needs more filters for clothing -Highly limited customization
Fashion Dreamer is an absolutely missed opportunity, the game is very limited with the obviously the main focus being built around playing dress up, you get to style clothing for everyone and keep unlocking clothing whilst earning style points to unlock more clothing.
Fashion Dreamer is basically the switch version of Style Savvy except its a downgrade with less clothing options.
The issues is that, it is very light on content - there are two mini-games which is Bingo and a gatcha game, Bingo is honestly boring with limited payouts almost always giving the lowest amounts and the gatcha hardly ever gives any "rare" clothing pulls, in fact after hundreds and hundreds of pulls, I only ever pulled one marginally rare item.
Single player offline is a joke, it is basically impossible to level up your brand and is entirely reliant on playing online for other players to "like" your style basically giving you big style point boosts, online is really just a spreadsheet, no actual online encounters take place, you just see static avatars of players which you can like and copy their clothing to add to your catalog....which after playing for a while starts to get so bloated it becomes a chore to navigate.
