Details
Invaders from another world attack without warning - unleashing the machine lifeforms. To break the deadlock, a new breed of android infantry is sent into the fray: the YoRHa squad. Highly-acclaimed and award winning NieR:Automata is a fresh take on the action role-playing game (RPG) genre that gracefully blends mesmerizing action with a captivating story. Each chapter contains various sub-chapters with some only being revealed after multiple play-thoughs. They can also be replayed via the chapter select menu. 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.
