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. He goes on an expedition in search of a cure for the mysterious plague known as the Black Scrawl, which his younger sister, Yonah, fell victim to.

When you play for killing enemies and completing quests you get experience points, which are used to improve the hero's stats. We also get gold to buy items.

In addition to the main storyline, the game also offers many optional side tasks. There are also sections and adventures in the form of mini-games, requiring, among others, farming and fishing.
