Nier / Game

Product Information

Clements said that the combat had "a fair amount of satisfaction", though players should "not expect anything too extraordinary", and Kolan termed the combat as "moderately deep".

The fusion of different gameplay styles was included as a homage to earlier gameplay styles and genres.

In addition to the main plotline, Nier includes numerous sidequests, which give the player experience points and money, as well as fishing and farming segments. I've heard people complain about hte combat, I don't know why, there's dozens of weapons and abilities to mix and match and smash the enemy to dust Feels good, variety and satisfaction, what's missing? Clements said that "the developers' ideas sometimes outshine the actual implementation", while highlighting the gameplay elements as part of what made the game fun. Players assume the role of the unyielding protagonist, NIER, resolute in his quest to discover a cure for his daughter, who is infected with the Black Scrawl virus.

This leaves Nier feeling fresh and unique for quite awhile, but once the shine wears off, you'll find yourself just playing to get it done. Each ending gives more and more perspective, and have such great weight to them, definitely making it worth playing through the second half of the game four times to see them all.Most weapons only shares visual differences, as their move sets are similar (for weapons of the same group like one-handed, two-handed, etc. Additional cutscenes are also shown, giving the motivations and backstory behind the Shade bosses that are fought and showing them as sentient people trying to defend their friends against the protagonist.

A sequel titled Nier: Automata, developed by Square Enix and PlatinumGames for the PlayStation 4, was released in Japan on February 23, in North America on March 7 and worldwide on March 10, 2017. Development was handled by Cavia with help from Square Enix, who had previously provided development support for the Drakengard games. Boring as they may be, side quests are strongly recommended for player to get the full NieR experience; the characters will often commenting on the nature of the quest, and sometimes they even make fun of the boring tasks.

The boss battles are pretty well balanced, as most battles have checkpoints in them, so if you failed after the checkpoint you don't have to start over (like Dark Souls series). The Next RPG from Square Enix: NIER, the newest franchise from RPG masters Square Enix, delivers unique and memorable characters, intense action-packed battles, explosive magic and storytelling like only Square Enix can. The story is incredibly well written, and has several unexpected twists and turns which work greatly in its favor. Yoko took from it the idea of a terrible event where both sides believed they were doing the right thing, and wanted to show the player multiple perspectives of the same events. Memorable music: Most pieces will invoke a sense of sadness, and that is the what the game is trying to tell the player.
