This game really makes me appreciate the effort that Jupiter puts into the Picross games.

Nonograms Prophecy is extremely cheap on the eShop, but is a derivative, frustrating, and sometimes nonfunctioning shell of a nonograms game. Puzzles often aren't true puzzles, and can be solved multiple ways despite the game only accepting one solution. Other game modes are stolen from the Picross series and implemented much more lazily. One of the color puzzles I encountered is unsolvable by logic because two of the colors are the exact same color. The "Big Picture" mode is simplistic to a fault but still manages to point out the flaws in the game even harder. Basic QoL systems you'd expect in a 2019 nonogram game either don't work properly or are entirely nonexistent.

Definitely avoid this one. There isn't really anything here for either new or long-time Picross players.
