About NieR:Automata™

✦ AI summary

Fight alongside androids 2B, 9S, and A2 in a stylish action game set in a post-apocalyptic world where machines have conquered Earth and humanity fights back through its mechanical proxies. Seamless open-world exploration, deeply customizable combat with weapon switching and pod support, and a narrative-driven campaign elevate this beyond standard action fare with philosophical depth.

NieR: Automata tells the story of androids 2B, 9S and A2 and their battle to reclaim the machine-driven dystopia overrun by powerful machines.

Humanity has been driven from the Earth by mechanical beings from another world. In a final effort to take back the planet, the human resistance sends a force of android soldiers to destroy the invaders. Now, a war between machines and androids rages on... A war that could soon unveil a long-forgotten truth of the world.

Key Features:
  • Action-Packed Battles – Players will switch between using melee and ranged attacks in battle against hordes of enemies and challenging bosses across a variety of open field maps. The tight controls and incredibly fluid combat are simple to learn for newcomers while offering plenty of depth for more experienced action gamers. Players can perform high-speed battle actions—combining light and heavy attacks—and switch through an arsenal of weaponry while evading enemies with speed and style.
  • Beautifully Desolate Open-World – The game seamlessly joins together hauntingly beautiful vistas and locations with no area loading. The environments are rendered in 60fps and contain a wealth of sub-events in addition to the main storyline.
  • Masterfully Crafted Story and Characters – NieR: Automata tells the story of androids 2B, 9S and A2 and their ferocious battle to reclaim a machine-driven dystopia overrun by powerful weapons known as machine lifeforms.
  • Elements of an RPG – Players will obtain a variety of weapon types, level up in battle, learn new combat skills, and customise a loadout that caters to their playstyle.
  • Utilise the Pod Support System to Assist In and Outside of Battle – Pods can attack the enemy in both manual and lock-on modes. They can also assist outside of battle, such as allowing the player to glide through the air. Pods can be enhanced throughout the game, with upgrades including new attack methods and variations.
  • “Auto Mode” Available for Beginners – Novice players can elect “Auto Mode” for easy attacks and evasions.

NieR: Automata is one of those gems you know will surprise you, but you're never really prepared for it. It's a work that redefines itself perpetually and ubiquitously, full of strange decisions that somehow come together in an incredible way. I can't even imagine how Yoko Taro came up with the use of certain diegetic elements; it's plainly brilliant.

NieR Automata: I first bought this game because people said that Stellar Blade has some similarities, so, without thinking, I bought this game. This game is great; the gameplay feels nice, the composer is the same as Stellar Blade's, so the music is amazing, the story is wonderful and the characters are lovely. The game is fabulous; it obviously has things that I don't really like. Not every game is perfect, but this doesn't deny that the game is incredible. The only thing that I don't really like is the ending system because I got confused at first. I know, I'm stupid. Anyways, I highly recommend this hack and slash, an excellent game!

ngl the story (or at least the writing) is just trash, like, i get what its trying to say but everything is just so weird and does not make sense at all. combat is not even good since its made by platinum games. and yea most of the time i just gooned to 2b

a never ending game...i am truly astonished by the gameplay and story telling this game consists... the fact that there are 3 stories in different perspectives?! it doesn't feel repetitive. 2B is straight forward, 9S' story is cut in half to avoid repetition. However, the last story...WOW... i had such a hard time putting the remote down for this game!--you know the last time i played a game and i couldn't put the remote down?! lol you have to play the 3rd story, i didn't want to at first i thought i got the point but not at all...like...WOW (little bit of a headache--but WOW!). ADVICE TO PLAY: 2B is COMBAT 9S is HACKING (its stated several times in the game) 2A is ...you'll figure that out.. stock tf up on heals at all times, save like crazy. if you die you get punished! idk what else to say...the game is well worth your time and money!
