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. Nier is also the name of the main character who is seeking a cure for his dying daughter. He is accompanied by a talking book named Grimoire Weiss, which can be used to shoot projectiles at enemies. As you progress through the game, you gain new powers and different weapons.
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. You can upgrade and specialize your weapons to deal improved damage against certain enemies. The camera is fully controllable throughout most parts of the game, switching between different views such as isometric or 2D-side scrolling at some locations.
The Japanese version of Nier comes in two editions: NieR RepliCant (PS3) and NieR Gestalt (Xbox 360). The main differences involve Nier 's appearance and his relationship to the character Yonah. All other international releases are based on NieR Gestalt , regardless of the platform.
