![]() ![]() Weiss, a flying and talking book capable of sarcasm is also responsible for magical attacks (identical to the pod skills in Automata). The ranged attack comes from Grimoire Weiss, a mysterious tome companion that I had unlocked after reaching a certain point in the game. The Grimoire Weiss offers many amazing attack options. It is when I switch around my weapons to take advantage of the different perks and qualities imbued into them is where the combat really shines. I could have muscled my way through any fights by just utilizing a single weapon type but the damage output would have been inefficient and less fun. ![]() At this point, all 3 weapon types and their selection will be available for picks via a quick-switch menu. Melee attacks are dished out using normal weapons and for much of the early game, only the single-handed sword is accessible to me before my progression eventually unlocks more – Two-Handed Swords and Spear types. The high-paced intense action that produces beautiful combos coupled with meaningful parries and dodges that really put Automata above other action games is strongly felt here. The developers at Toylogic have said in an interview that the upgraded Replicant will see a new combat system that’s aimed at appealing to Automata fans and to that, I would say they landed very near to their target. In fact, Replicant’s open-world consisting of lush green environments and blue skies makes it a better-looking game than Automata’s gloomy desert and ruins theme. ![]() It goes without saying, the game looks much better visually than the original version. The visual/graphics department formed the earliest impression – 60 steady frames per second on the PlayStation 5, good draw distance, and visual upgrades everywhere I saw. And as suspected of a remastered title, most of the changes took shape in the forms of “upgrades”, therefore no one should come expecting a brand new game with existing level graphics and visual effects. In this version, the protagonist is a middle-aged man and a father to Yonnah, the difference in role and the protagonist’s age were the only distinctions between the two versions.Īs the remastered title had suggested, this upgraded version of the game takes after the original Japanese NieR Replicant. There was also a second version of the same game by the name of NieR Gestalt that was released in North America. The first NieR Replicant was released in Japan 10 years ago, featuring the protagonist Nier, and the tale surrounding his quests to cure his younger sister, Yonah, from a plague-like disease called the Black Scrawl. NieR Replicant v1.22 is a remastered version of the original NieR game. If NieR Automata was your first experience with the Nier series and you are hoping to quench your thirst for more NieR styled content in NieR Replicant ver.1.22474487139… ( I’ll just call it NieR Replicant v1.22 from now…), then you need to understand this – NieR Replicant ver.1.22 and NieR Automata are two very different games set in a very different timeline (thousands of years apart), featuring unrelated protagonists, and although both games are similar in personality, they are far from being identical in character. ![]()
