The sequel to the awesome danmaku hack and slash Real-time RPG is here. Nier Automata.
This one takes place thousands of years after the post-apocalyptic events of Nier, centered around a war between the human survivors and an army of otherworldly robotic invaders. The initial attack by the enemy robots forced humanity to take refuge on a Moon Colony. To try and take back earth, the humans send out these humanlike robts called the YoRHa whom you play as.
The game reminds me a lot of Unbreakable Machine Doll (minus the cuteness unfortunately), mixed with Shane Acker's 9, Metal Gear Rising, Xenoblade, and a Danmaku game (a lot of enemies shoot massive barrages of projectiles). It's very fast-paced and hard, but totally awesome, especially in its boss battles!
Three great games come out around now, this, and Zelda: Breath of the Wild, and Horizon Zero Dawn, are such awesome titles, and all to come out around the same time!
What do you think of Nier Automata?
