About the Game
NieR Replicant ver. 1.22474487139… (the number is the square root of 1.5, perhaps to show that it is not the second game in the series, nor a redo of the original, but somewhere between the two?) picks up the story after the fifth ending of the Drakengard, and is temporally located a massive 1,000 years before NieR: Automata, one of the other games in the spin-off series! The protagonists of Drakengard have accidentally introduced magic to this world…
Research and experimentation with that magic has resulted in a number of issues, not least of which is The Black Scrawl which is almost always lethal. When the protagonist’s sister falls prey to the disease, he must set out to find the cure. He is aided in his search by the Grimoire Weiss, a sentient book who has suffered memory loss from trauma at some point in its past. They are joined by various companions as they search for The Sealed Verses, hoping to find a cure.
Fans of the previous game will love it, especially the delicate touch that has been used to retain the charm and essence of the game while modernising and speeding it all up. There are plenty of familiar sights to make fans feel nostalgic, while newcomers can immerse themselves without feeling left behind.
As well as an engaging storyline, there are satisfying bouts of combat to enjoy. Choose from various swords and spears, try out a fantastic super-punch that is wonderfully satisfying to deploy and use a different combat style for each boss that you go head to head with. Adding to your enjoyment, the soundtrack is superb and really enhances the playing experience.
Villains – and a Warning!
The main villain, who is called Shadowlord, carries his own book, the Grimoire Noir. He kidnaps Yonah early in the game, after which there is a five-year gap. When play resumes, the band of travellers believe that getting their hands on the Grimoire Noire can help them in their task.
A second play through is well worth your time. To speed matters along it begins after the 5-year skip and reveals a lot more information about the characters and the world in which they live – and some of those revelations are an intriguing twist in the tale that explains how Automata will come about.
However, do be careful as to which ending you choose should you want to play through three or more times – one ending choice deletes the main character from the other characters’ minds, and also deletes your progress, achievements and leaves the game almost as new, as if it had never been played! You won’t be able to use the same name for your protagonist when you begin again, either.
