Fashion Dreamer Goes All Dramatic In First Free Update For 2024

No amount of new fashion items is going to improve this game. Coming from the excellent New Style Boutique (aka Style Savvy) games, Fashion Dreamer is a shallow and joyless stinker.

If you enjoy dressing up a bunch of random NPCs, then it's a breezy and relaxing game with appealing visuals, but it's completely bereft of the depth, personality, and business management elements that (surprisingly) made a fan out of me during the 3DS days, and I'd say I'm pretty far removed from the target audience for this type of game.

Not the worst option if on sale, but Style Boutique fans should exercise caution to avoid disappointment.

For me this doesn't measure up at all to the New Style Boutique games and while still not a fan of the "influencer" angle, I bought this on Day One and I'm having more fun with it than I expected, mainly due to the online mode. I get a lot of joy simply from creating stylish outfits for other players (and making them happy too I hope) and that gives me a nice warm feeling inside. I put effort into fulfilling their listed requirements and creating well-coordinated outfits but unfortunately I rarely receive the same from other players. I'm not stating this to be horrible to anyone, just being honest here, but most of the Lookits I receive are quite frankly terrible; nothing matches, the colours clash, the outfits are just a big jumbled mess T_T Oh, well, never mind. I still experience happiness from putting together nice outfits for others and that for me is the main draw of this game

A 5/10 was a bit too harsh for this game. I've seen a lot streamers enjoy it like a solid 8/10. But what are numbers anyway. I just love the looks of it.

I saw the picture and got super excited because I thought there was a new game! (An anime) game on switch.

@Iron65 : I think a 5/10 is fair. It's a game with reasonable polish and presentation, and it's not bad by any stretch, but it's terrible when viewing it from the back of the New Style Boutique games (which were developed by the same team, and Fashion Dreamers boasts a virtually indistinguishable aesthetic to its forebears).

Overall, it's merely an average game that doesn't do anything interesting conceptually, and I likely wouldn't come back for seconds if this were to get a sequel.

I don't understand why Nintendo didn't just commission a new Style Boutique game instead. The 3DS got three of them for crying out loud. Now those games deserve a solid 9/10 (and I think they scored about as much by this very site).

This game was a total let down. I’d have rather they just ported the style boutique/ style savvy games over from the ds those were so much better. I thought fashion dreamer would have been at least as good but my god its awful.

@Sisilly_G it's frustrating because this was the first I'd heard of the series, and it looked quite interesting, until I saw the glut of average reviews — knowing that it used to be decent is all the more tragic. It's like Fallout 4 all over again.
