- Summary
- Nothing is as it seems in this action adventure game, set in a crumbling world plagued by disease and dark, unrecognizable creatures. Players assume the role of the unyielding protagonist, Nier, resolute in his quest to discover a cure for his daughter, who is infected with the Black Scrawl virus. With powerful allies and a mysterious book, Nier encounters things that will confound even the mightiest of warriors. Created by Cavia and Square Enix, Nier blends both innovative and traditional RPG gameplay mechanics with an intense, bloody combat system to create an action-packed single-player experience where players explore and discover a future lost to a shadowy past. Armed with a powerful set of magical abilities as well as mighty swords and armor, players will do battle alongside a set of formidable allies against waves of dark enemies and giant bosses to discover the truth about the disease, his daughter ... and himself.
Hey America! Upset that your version of Nier doesn't contain the dreamy bishounen version of the main character that the Japanese got? Square Enix has a $7 solution for you.
Tomorrow, the publisher will release the 'World of Recycled Vessel' downloadable content package for the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 versions of the game. Among other enhancements, it will add the 'Young Nier' character as an option, swapping out the middle-aged protagonist for the younger, hotter version only featured in the Japanese PlayStation 3 version of the game.
Square Enix says the DLC will also add 15 new areas and stages to Nier's adventure, new 'configurations' of existing game areas and new costumes and weapons for the main characters.
The download will cost $7 on the PlayStation Network and 560 Microsoft Points ($7) on Xbox Live.
