Story’s are amazing
The story leaves you wanting more after each segment. You can tell the devs took their time creating a beautiful story with a rich, detailed world. The environment is breathtaking every corner you turn.
The only thing I will say I think in the character and weapon enhancement screen there should a sort option that only shows characters and weapons that you have enough material to upgrade. Instead of going through your inventory and scrolling through 100+ weapons just to find out you have enough material for 3 weapon upgrades. Or worse, you have enough for 50 weapons but they’re scattered all throughout the invent
That’s really my only gripe with the game but it’s so minor compared to the rest of the experience and gameplay

Memory Out of Control
I enjoy the mechanics and collecting all the things, and the overall look of the game. However the memory is a bit out of control. The further in the game you go the more memory it takes. The App Store has it listed as the size of the game at around 500mb, currently though for me it is up to 5.5 gb. I wish there was a way to optimize it to reduce that, like remove old cut scenes or remove old story clips. It is getting to the point where this game will be deleted just so I can get back space

Very good game but some downsides
Please make the pity 150 and not 200, only reruns get 150 pity but please make every banner have 150 pity, it takes so much more to get to pity. Currently on the Persona 5 banner I am 300 pulls in and have none of the crossover characters but if the pity was 150 I could get both of them. The other thing is that reruns do not give you gems, please make them reset because it feels very bad when an event gets a rerun and not being able to get gems from them. Still nice game though 😁👍🏻

Beautiful game, gets dull fast
Beautiful graphics, and the story seems interesting at first. Game play gets repetitive, with little variation from battle to battle,and little input required from players during the battle to win (literally did this while on my peloton for an hour). Story segments that are pretty, but also kind of trite. Ultimately deleted it because like many of these games, it pushes you harder and harder to pay for add ons and enhancements. I’ve been down that route before, and don’t care to go there again. Would not recommend.

Great but needs some changes
I’ve been a fan of the Nier series for a couple fl years now. And I have to say this game does a great job of keeping the same dark tone of the others in the series. And although the story is good, the combat itself isn’t the best. There’s really no interaction between you and the enemy aside from pressing your same 3 buttons in succession. The only time I felt like this battle system could have work was during the XIV event where you need to use your movement to avoid getting one-shot which was great. Please keep in mind not everyone wants to mindlessly auto-battle after getting characters that they’ve wanted for a while. Other than than I can see this game doing very well in the future.

Great so far but…
I desperately want to like this game, and I do when I can play it, but it’s getting kind of frustrating when it crashes 2-3 times every time I load it up.
I’m a big fan of the NieR series and when I heard this was a sequel to Automata I immediately went to download it. I’m not super far into the game, but I’m enjoying the story so far. The music, which has always been a staple of the series, is great as usual, and I’m surprised the game’s graphics are as good as they are, considering this is a mobile game. The gacha mechanics aren’t… great, but it isn’t necessary to enjoy the game. The P5R event is happening right now though, and I just don’t see how I can get the characters I want without spending money. So the gacha doesn’t seem very f2p friendly, but it seems to be a mechanic you can largely ignore. The combat isn’t anything complicated but it’s interesting enough to keep you engaged.
Overall, I think so far I can recommend this game if you’re coming here for more NieR lore. Go ahead and give it a shot.

Amazing game but…..
The stories are so good, the game play is so good, everything about this game is great, the only issue is there is something wrong with the server. They do not do updates on the game very often. At launch the game force closes at start up so you have to launch the game at least 3-4 times before you actually get in. This is so annoying some days I don’t even play this game because I am tired of reloading the game 4 times before I get in….this issues has been going on since launch and has yet to be fixed. It’s been over a year. Another indication of the lack of improvement in this game is the lottery system. This game used to have a lottery system for gems and other things but they took it down after a few months because it was buggy. This system has been gone for almost a year with no word to fixing it. So what I am saying is there is some good and some bad. Developers need to pay more attention to this game and fix the bugs. If they do then this is a 5* game.

Not my favorite SE Title
As someone who plays a lot of games by Square Enix I was disappointed by this one. I was additionally disappointed because I am such a huge fan of Nier Automata. I was actually deeply anticipating this game. The characters are lackluster imo, the grayscale is very bland, the combat is the most tedious and unsatisfying thing I’ve ever encountered on a mobile game. I am also just not into games that are novels and you have to read to enjoy/play the game. This was not a good title for me. That being said, I know there are people who do enjoy visual novels like these so I won’t be giving this game a 2*. Also, the game is overall very sound technically and is well put together so that prevented me from giving this game a 1*. In sum, this was a bad game for me but I’m sure graphic novel enjoyers will like this.

Story vs Combat
This game has me on the fence if I love it and I kinda wanna delete it. When it comes to story it’s so unique and different. I love the way the stories are told and how you hop in to fix them. 6/5 on that front.
The combat on the other hand…not my cup of tea. The graphics are beautiful and the choreography is astounding, but the lack of control has me bothered. I can activate the abilities, yes, however moving around doesn’t do much for combat, and I just have to sit and watch my character do nothing every few seconds until I can click a button. I just feel like I’m not actually playing the game, so 3/5 on that.
As for the f2p vs p2p, I really didn’t bother with the gacha with this game, didn’t seem worth it.
When all is said and done, it’s a good game and I would suggest to anyone who asks about it, but the selling point to me is the story and not the combat. Like I said, I don’t feel like I’m playing the game when I’m combat, 4/5 overall

Above average but disappointing
I’m a huge fan of the NieR/Drag On Dragoon (Drakengard) franchise, in particular Automata. With this being touted as a direct sequel to the aforementioned game, it creates high expectations. Although it is better than most gacha games, that’s not saying much. It being a game from a Yoko Taro-san series, I expected it would be truly transformative in a mobile gaming world that seems to be a pathetic race to the lowest common denominator of mobile games all in the name of corporate greed. 1. It should have been sold like it’s pay once Final Fantasy (FF) games 2. If they insisted on a turn based system then make it at least up to par with its FF combat system. Sadly, it doesn’t even match up to rpg battle systems like Phantasy Star from the 80’s. It’s not from a lack of mobile graphics capabilities. 3. It really should have been the Automata of Genshin Impact and retained it’s open world action adventure qualities without the gacha mechanics. If I was Square Enix I’d do what they did with FF XI and go back and make a worthy game like FF XIV was. This time maybe include Yoko Taro’s input more.

Disgrace to the NieR franchise
This is one of the most greedy, low effort games I’ve ever played. Gacha fames in general are disgustingly predatory, but this game is worse because it actually tries to attach itself to the NieR series which is actually amazing. On top of that, the game is just the most boring, tedious, and horribly balanced games I’ve ever had the displeasure of playing. I can’t wait to see this game fail and be shut down due to low engagement.
I’ve never seen a game get deserted by it’s player base so quickly. Lots of NieR fans were hesitant about a gacha game to begin with, but even the ones who tried it quit. It’s like every 2 weeks my entire friends list on this game stops playing permanently. It’s a testament to how bad this game is.
This could have been a truly great game if it never got twisted into a mobile gacha game. The music is amazing as always, and the stories and very good despite being told through such a terrible medium (Mobile gacha games).
Square Enix is scum, through and through. They release broken PC ports regularly and never fix them. They try to rip every penny from their customers wallet, and are willing to disgrace and ruin franchises to do so. They are even beginning to e corporate cryptocurrencies and NFTs into their games. Good luck with that Square Enix. I hope you enjoy ruining truly beautiful works of art for your own personal wealth.

It’s almost perfect
Absolutely love the whole Nier series; the characters, the story and the music go hand in hand together. Everything is just so captivating and what’s even better is that this particular game is for mobile! However there is one small problem… every time I load the game up it crashes (iOS). I’ve tried closing the app and loading it back up and that usually works but recently it’s started to become a bit irritating having to go through the loading screens. Hopefully it’ll be an easy fix in a future update.

Surprisingly good!
This was my very first introduction to the NieR franchise and I have to say, it was nothing less than excellent. I was immediately drawn in by the graphics, music and mood of the game. The characters & their stories were interesting and engaging. While playing this game I started looking deeper into the lore and actually purchased both NieR Automata & NieR Replicant for the PS4, both of which I highly recommend. My favorite character overall was “Mama”. The voice talents of the characters themselves are also quite good. If you’re really into artwork & music this game delivers with its detailed and intriguing design. I’m not very good at fighting games in general but I found the mechanics of the game extremely easy to get used to and level up my characters and their weapons for battle. The “mini games” left a little to be desired & some the gameplay was a bit repetitive in nature but that is basically the whole point of the game. You can kind of see the obvious ending coming down the road but even after you “finish”, the main story isn’t completely over. I loved this game and still haven’t finished it but keep coming back because it is genuinely that good. If you’re debating about playing it just do it already!

Fun game but need improvement
This game is okay if you like NieR and collecting stuff, but there’s just way too much farming in the game and there’s no way to skip or fast forward the battles in auto mode, so one would need to keep the phone on all the time to farm it.
And what’s worse is that the game doesn’t keep your phone screen on while auto farming, and it stops farming when the screen automatically turns off, so you will have to go to settings to turn off Auto Lock in order to farm, but if you forget to turn the auto lock back on after farming, you might end up with a dead phone when you need it. This is very annoying. For a mobile game like this, what’s the point to force the users to burn through our battery just to farm? Let us have the options to skip battles or allow the farming to continue in the back ground.
I play games on mobile because I don’t have time to play a console or computer game, but If a mobile game with a pay to win system is gonna cost me as much time to farm, it completely defeats the purpose of playing a mobile game imo.
And one more thing, the game audio just won’t turnoff when you are using headphones watching videos or listening to music at the same time. Please fix it.

Made for narrative enjoying NieR fans
I’ve had a chance to play this game for awhile now, and there are certain aspects that completely impress and others that could use some work. First of all, the visuals and aesthetics of this game are unmatched on the mobile platform. The world building, character designs, and character narratives go beyond what is to be expected for a game of this platform.
That being said, the story and design elements are obviously the primary focus of the studio that is producing this game. Because of this, actual gameplay suffers from being repetitive and grinding/farming intensive. Don’t get me wrong, I like the gameplay; but there is little to keep me immersed and I usually end up playing through all the battles on fast mode with ‘auto’ enabled. I think the turn-based gameplay mechanics need tweaking to encourage more strategy beyond aspects that are adjusted during the loadout phase.
Overall, this game is enticing, entertaining and a refreshing take on the gacha mobile game formula. If you are a fan of the NieR franchise this game will be even more appealing to you due to the frequent crossover events and familiar design elements. But, if you like intense, immersive and involved gameplay experiences I would look elsewhere.

Everything to expect from a NieR game
Just as you would expect from a NieR game, this new addition has incredible story telling that will drag you in while being accompanied by a phenomenal soundtrack and stunning graphics. The gameplay isn’t too over the top and can even be completely automatic for those who are only really interested in the story's. However just like any game there will be at least some minor bugs. One of the main bugs that I have been running into at the moment is that at times when I collect something from either a mission or by collecting on of the birds my game will constantly have the connecting sign in the corner of the screen and never connect despite having perfectly fine internet. However, I don’t find this to be a big enough of an issue to cost such a great game even 1 star. This game most certainly has the potential to become one of the greatest mobile games of all time as long as they move in the right direction and I can’t wait to see where they go with it next.

Just an Animated Story Plus Some
Its Square Enix so expect to be amazed by a beautiful story and high end graphics. If you’re a NieR fan then this game will be in your ballpark. However, the user interaction is extremely bad. You do absolutely nothing in this game but mediocre functions. Its purely story based and is aimed at fans of the genre. The Gacha rate seems to be pretty bad too since Character & Equipment is grouped together in the same pool. Games like these I would usually avoid since they are intended to be more of a cash grab and left in the backburner to be forgotten or abandoned. If it wasn’t a Square Enix game I’d have given up already but the art put into both drawing and story seems top notch. Will continue to play to see if it improves. You’ll get bored quick though if you’re not into these slow paced games. Hardly anything to do, lol.
This game should’ve been open world concept since NieR franchise has so much potential to be more.

Great story and music but that’s about it
The game has very beautiful music and story, but the mechanics of the game is very boring. The characters automatically attack the npcs and all you have to do is use character skills when they’re available… so there isnt much to do other than sit and watch the battles. There are event missions where you need to collect coins to exchange for limited time items in the shop. You can set the missions to repeat automatically 10 but it be so much better if you just instantly get the materials for 10 runs rather than be unable to use your phone until those 10 run completes…. And drain your battery. The game is worth playing for the story but because there’s not much to do other than grind to collect the characters like every typical gacha game

Need more of this type of game.
It’s a quite rare gacha game that not too much focus on requirements to spend a lot of money and time investment while being a Nier series, what make me surprised about it that the dialogues and quality of the story is great. Since this game is considered new on global market, I believe the game has a better potential if they have more activities and things that could give it a better go. It’s probably higher than quality than most FF games on mobile from SE that I know and play so far.
The combat seems great and high quality, wish Nier Gestalt or Drakegard should have some version of the games on mobile, console, or PC platforms. Personally, I think limited games on other platforms somehow low down the intentions for this type of game. It’s technically one of the heavy titles that would explode your phone devices, so i recommend that a console port or PC should be greatly appreciated.

Good story, auto gacha, 2% rate
Story is nicely written and the character models very nice. Not quite a good casual gacha though as you need some grind to progress in everything including story. Battle is active auto attack with an option to auto skills too. There are no skip tickets, just phone screen on farming that you have to run the whole day to farm ALL EVENTS. Gems are pretty easy to get in beginning and you only need 200 pulls to spark although regular pull rates are low. Like really low and you NEED DUPES to make most characters useful or you farm a monthly tower event to get dupe materials that count as 1 full dupe.
I do not recommend this if you work full-time or cannot run your phone on the whole day.
