Information from Square Enix’s channel:
NieR Replicant is the prequel of the critically acclaimed success NieR:Automata.
NieR Replicant ver.1.22474487139… invites players into a dark, apocalyptic world as they join a brother’s captivating quest to cure his sister of a deadly disease - a quest which will in turn make them question everything.
Developed in collaboration with Toylogic, NieR Replicant ver.1.22474487139… brings together an all-star team including acclaimed director, YOKO TARO (Drakengard / NieR:Automata), composer Keiichi Okabe (TEKKEN / Drakengard / NieR:Automata), and producer Yosuke Saito (DRAGON QUEST X / NieR:Automata).
So I got into Nier through Nier: Automata, and am super excited to finally get around to playing the first NieR. I’ve watched a Let’s Play on YouTube, and found the story and characters just as gripping as Automata’s. I’m incredibly curious to see what sorts of updates they’ll make to the combat system, given the glowing reviews the combat in Automata had received.
