NieR Replicant ver.1.22474487139...

NieR Replicant ver.1.22474487139... is an improved and extended version of the 2010 action RPG NieR Replicant. The prototype was developed by the no longer existing Japanese studio Cavia (e.g. Drakengard and Bullet Witch). The new edition was produced by the Toylogic team (Happy Wars and Happy Dungeons) and the people from PlatinumGames (Nier: Automata and Bayonetta series) helped with the work.

Plot

The game is a spin-off of the Drakengard series, considering the fifth ending of the first part of this cycle, in which the Earth has fallen into disrepair, as canon. Action of the NieR Replicant ver.1.22474487139... starts thousands of years later. We play as the teenage boy named Nier.
