Gacha, RPG, and strategy game in one

Square Enix celebrates the 10th anniversary of the Nier series with NieR Re[in]carnation (ニーア リィンカーネーション),  a free Gacha game where players will be able to acquire weapons, equipment, and other in-game items through luck or through the game’s main story. Set in a world of cages (檻), towers, and dungeons, a girl wakes up without her memories and her voice. She is greeted by a creature named ‘Mama.’ Together, they attempt to uncover the girl’s past and what she had done to get to where she is in the present.

Is NieR Reincarnation a Gacha game?

NieR Re[in]carnation is a free-to-play mobile role-playing game developed by Applibot and published by Square Enix. It was originally released in Japanese, but it has now been localized and dubbed for the English release. While NieR Re[in]carnation is not a sequel to any of the games in the series, it does take place in the same universe as Nier (the game) and Nier: Automata (both of which were made for mobile too). 

You play as the girl who awakens in a cage or ‘White Girl.’ Just like Grimoires in Nier and Pods in Nier: Automata, Mama will fill the companion role in the story. The multiple protagonists and story progression were inspired by Puzzles & Dragons; you can assemble a team of 3, each of which can attack, use a unique character skill, or use an equipped weapon’s skill. Every player can customize their equipment.

It’s important to make the most out of your time in the game since you can also earn points there. Of course, you can always bet your stats and health points in Gacha. Evidently, NieR Re[in]carnation has elements related to Gacha, RPGs, and strategy games scattered throughout the game, but presented in one cohesive story—which may open this game up for more users to download and play.

Ambitious crossovers of genres 

NieR Re[in]carnation is a great addition to the Nier series. It mixes three different styles of gaming into one epic story about reflecting on the past and looking forward to the future. You can immerse yourself in the story, or enjoy the game casually by increasing your stats and health. Overall, NieR Re[in]carnation is a game worth looking forward to
