NieR:Automata is an action role-playing video game developed by Platinum Games and published by Square Enix.
It is the indirect sequel to both NieR RepliCant and NieR Gestalt (NIER), and is set in the year 11945, during the 14th Machine War.
The events of the 14th Machine War unfold through three main characters perspectives, 2B, 9S and A2, whom fight as the last remnants of human civilization against otherworldly invaders.
The battle is not so black-and-white however as the androids begin to question their own motives and the world in which they inhabit whilst being thrown into difficult situations and moral dilemmas.
In Nier: Automata, players take the role of combat androids from the YoRHa units across an open world.
In addition to standard navigation on foot, using a special item allows the player to summon a wild animal to ride, and in some scenarios pilot a flying mech to fight enemies.
As with Nier (2010), during navigation in some environments, the camera shifts from its standard third-person perspective to an overhead or side-scrolling view.
Some areas also include platforming elements, requiring the player to navigate by jumping between platforms or over obstacles.
The player can complete side quests for non-playable characters (NPCs) found throughout the world.
Shops available in hub locations allow the player to purchase items, including consumables that recover health.
Automata features 26 different endings; five main endings lettered A to E, and 21 additional endings lettered F through Z.
These additional endings act as game over events triggered by performing certain actions, not progressing the narrative, or losing certain battles.
