When it comes to making a new title that takes on most of the characteristics of an established and popular franchise there are ways it can work out well, but timing and whether you’re able to expand on what inspired you are often critical factors in success. In the case of Nonograms Prophecy I’d say they’re coming to the Picross-alike party pretty late, and unfortunately aside from its visuals it isn’t really able to differentiate itself much. Granted, in terms of presentation it looks pretty slick with sepia-toned theming, and its low-budget price is a plus, but if you’re already a fan of this style of play there’s really nothing that helps it stand on its own. If you’re a puzzle gaming fan who has somehow missed the Picross (and its ilk) boat this is an affordable way to get a taste for things, just for everyone else it will be very familiar.
