Nier is an action RPG with a touch of Japanese influenced gameplay. The story takes place in a mysterious world 1,000 years ahead of our time, where the earth as we know it no longer exists. The main character's daughter is dying and he seeks a cure, earning him the name Nier. He is accompanied by a talking book named Grimoire Weiss, which can also shoot projectiles at enemies. As progress is made through the game, new powers and different weapons are unlocked.
Main and side quests lead the party to various battles, controlled in a hack-and-slash manner using melee and ranged weapons as well as magic spells. Weapons can be upgraded and specialized to deal improved damage against certain enemies. The camera can be controlled throughout most parts of the game, with views switching to isometric or 2D-side scrolling at some locations.
The Nier game was released on the Playstation 3 in April 2010. It falls under the Action & Adventure genre. In Japan, two versions were available: NieR RepliCant (PS3) and NieR Gestalt (Xbox 360). Internationally, all releases are based on NieR Gestalt , regardless of the platform.
