How to Play SINoALICE on PC

sinoalice bluestacks guide bannerSINoALICE is a turn-based mobile gacha MMORPG from Pokelabo and Square Enix. The game initially launched in Japan on both Android and iOS devices on June 6, 2017 with Square Enix as the publisher. This was followed by a global launch three years later on July 1, 2020 with Pokelabo serving as the game’s publisher. The game is exclusively available on mobile devices but can also be played on the PC using an Android emulator.

How to Play SINoALICE on PC:

To play SINoALICE on the PC, the first step is to download and install an Android emulator like BlueStacks. The internet offers a wide range of free Android emulators including Nox, LDPlayer, and BlueStacks but the latter is my personal favorite because of its sleeker and cleaner UI. It’s also updated more frequently which ensures that you can always play the latest mobile game without a hitch.

After you’ve successfully installed BlueStacks, or any Android emulator of your choice, the next step is to launch the emulator and search for SINoALICE on the Google Play Store. You’ll be asked to login with a Google account the first time you access the Play Store. You can use an existing one or create a new one but keep in mind that if you want to continue any progress you previously had in the game, you’ll need to login using the same account that you used when you first installed SINoALICE on your mobile device. Once you’ve logged in to the Play Store, simply use the search bar on top to search for the game, then tap on install. The initial download size of the app is around 500MB so it shouldn’t take more than a few minutes depending on your internet connection. You’ll also need to download around 1GB of additional data when you first launch the game.

While you do lose portability when you play mobile games like SINoALICE on the PC, PCs tend to be more powerful performance-wise compared to smartphones. BlueStacks, for example, is 6x more powerful than the latest smartphones which means you’ll experience less lag and frame skips. Also, unless you’re using a very large tablet, PCs offer a larger screen to play on. You can also customize your control layout and hotkeys to whatever you’re comfortable with unlike mobile devices where you’re literally “all thumbs.” BlueStacks also allows you to run multiple instances of a mobile app or game at the same time using the Multi-Instance Manager. This is especially useful in co-op games like SINoALICE where you can simply use a different account for each instance and level up multiple accounts at the same time. With an Android emulator, you can also multi-task and surf the internet or watch a YouTube video while the game’s auto-battle does all the hard work.

SINoALICE is a free-to-play turn-based mobile MMORPG developed by Japanese game studio Pokelabo in cooperation with Square Enix. The game features iconic collectible characters from classic fairy tales including Cinderella, Pinocchio, Red Riding Hood, and Snow White in a dark fantasy setting. Key features of the game include an Active-Time Battle system, drop-in drop-out co-op play, and real-time PvP battles.

A die-hard RPG fan as far back as Final Fantasy IV on the SNES and even had a brief stint with MUDs. Ragnarok Online was the first game that got me hooked on MMOs. I'm also a big fan of FPS games and have crossbowed, crowbared, and blown away countless players back when Half-Life was king. Currently looking for a game that can hold my attention aside from CS: GO.
