The mobile Nier is on its way over
MoreNieris on its way to the west. Pre-registrations opened today for U.S. Android and iOS users to check outNier Reincarnation, the mobile entry in theNierseries.
Stylized asNieR Re[in]carnation, it’s a “command-action RPG” from Square Enix and Applibot. You can find theGoogle Play StoreandApp Storelinks here.
“It is a place called The Cage,” the story description reads. “A girl awakens on a cold stone floor. She finds herself in an infinitely vast place filled with buildings that touch the very sky. Guided by a mysterious creature who calls herself Mama, she begins to explore her new surroundings.
“To reclaim what she has lost—and atone for her sins—she sets off on a journey through this place of unknown creation.”
It definitely has someNierstyle, though it looks like you also collect a party of various characters for combat. And yes, it looks to have gacha mechanics, through currencies and summons.Nier Reincarnationhas been available in Japan for a little while now and already accumulated apretty good amount of downloads, so hopefully that’s a sign of good things to come when it arrives here.
Square Enix notes that a Closed Beta Test for Android devices will be “held soon,” and the project is still directed by Yoko Taro and produced by Yosuke Saito. It seems like, similar toFire Emblem Heroes, my love for a franchise might outweigh my usual wariness of mobile games.
