One notable section involves a strange disease that actively shatters the fourth wall entirely and sucks the heroes in a book-like scenario where the player is required to read in order to solve some of the challenges. The game feels like a weird trip yet manages to be entertaining. Even with the violence and the magic of blood to attack the shades, it manages to succeed in its humor and storytelling.Ĭharacters acting like the magical book Grimoire Weiss is just a good friend to everyone, much to Nier’s confusion, subtle nods to random game mechanics absent (fast travel, which doesn’t occur until the second half of the game). Not as quirky as a typical Tim Burton movie, but definitely has its own charm to it. Despite it’s grim plot, the game had an unusual, whimsical innocence to it. That said, while I did have a few quirks with it, I found this to be a very solid game worth at the least checking out. ![]() I went in with an open mind, since this wasn’t NieR Automata, but it’s original game. When her brother discovers that she left her home to find a possible cure in a strange tower, only to find a magical book known as Grimoire Weiss, who might hold the key to healing Yonah and ending the Shadowlord’s plot once and for all. To make their lives more complicated, Yonah is infected with a mysterious illness known as the black scrawl. The story follows Nier and Yonah, two kids in a pseudo Germanic fantasy world dealing with monstrous beings known as shades. Having played it, I can see the game’s appeal and why it’s become such a classic to many Square fans. While I have yet to play Automata (I recently purchased it and intend to play it), I figured I’d start with its roots first, with Replicant. 2021 eventually saw the return of the NieR universe with a remake of NieR Replicant and a mobile title, NieR: Reincarnation. Fastforward to 2018 and we get a long-awaited follow-up, NieR: Automata. The game, sadly, wasn’t as big of a hit, but became a cult classic due to its combat, story, and it’s quirky cast courtesy of Yoko Taro. But not many people are familiar with the NieR IP that came out in 2010, an action-adventure game originally about a father trying to find a cure for his daughter’s sickness. The Mana, SaGa, Octopath Traveler, Kingdom Hearts and so on. Yet Square has dabbled in a number of JRPGs that have similar nods to their flagship franchise. When people think of Square-Enix, the game that comes to mind the most is Final Fantasy. ![]()
