The wait is finally over as NieR Replicant ver.1.22474487139 is finally here. This is a re-telling of the NieR Replicant game but improved for modern consoles. The game is available on PC, Xbox One, and PlayStation 4.
Both long-time players of the NieR franchise and new players can see that it’s pretty easy to jump into this new version. Players will still play in an apocalyptic and dark world while experiencing improved combat and gameplay, all-new voice dialogue, remastered visuals, and re-recorded soundtrack.
The game has players follow a kind young man who’s living in a remote village. However, the Black Scrawl arrives in the village resulting in his sister becoming terminally ill. This has him look for the Grimoire Weiss to learn about the Sealed verses.
These are the new features in the game:
- Extra Episode
- Players can enjoy not only a new scenario but even a truly exciting boss battle.
- The new scenario is all about a “Mermaid” and it features a wrecked ship along with a little girl.
- Extra Dungeons from “15 Nightmares”
- This was first released as a DLC for the original Japanese version.
- Those who have played the US version should see that it’s similar to “The World of Recycled Vessel.”
- Players go through dungeons that unlock different weapons and extra costumes like the “Samurai” and “Kabuki.”
- Players can also change how enemy bullets appear to Emil using the options menu.
- Soundtrack from NieR:Automata
- Players can unlock an option to switch background music tracks with the critically acclaimed NieR:Automata after completing the first playthrough.
