It’s been officially one year since the release of NieR:Automata, one of 2017’s greatest games. As of right now, Square Enix is offering the game on sale for 50% on both Playstaion 4 and Steam. As part of the celebration, Game Director, Yoko Taro, has released a special thank you message.
For those who have not played it yet, NieR:Automata was developed by PlatinumGames Inc. and was published by Square Enix. The game released was released last year and was met with critical praise all around. While the game was successful commercially with over two million units sold, it’s still a shame NieR:Automata wasn’t a bigger success that it should’ve been. The action RPG blended addicting combat with a unique approach to it’s storytelling. It has without the doubt the greatest tutorial mission I’ve played as a gamer.
Invaders from another world attack without warning, unleashing their secret weapon: the machines. In the face of this insurmountable threat, the human race is driven from the earth and takes refuge on the moon.
The humans develop an army of android soldiers to fight back against the mechanical horde, but succeed only in slowing its advance. To break the deadlock, a new breed of android infantry is sent into the fray: the YoRHa squad.
In the forsaken wasteland below, the war between the machines and the androids rages on. A war that is soon to unveil the long-forgotten truth of this world…
For those who want to jump into this world (as you should), then they should feel free to pick up discounted at this time. The sale will run until May 14 for Steam, and May 20 for Playstation 4.
