The NieR series of video games has always enthralled its audience ever since its first entry. As a spinoff of the Drakengard series, NieR has always been an interesting franchise, particularly since it expanded considerably the lore and scope of the universe, and took it from being set in a fantasy world unknown to our own, to actually taking place in a post-apocalyptic version of modern Earth where humanity is all but extinct. And most interestingly, all of these games were conceived by the creative mind of Yoko Taro, a person whose prowess in the video game industry has become synonymous with quirky, odd, and ultimately thrilling and exciting titles.

NieR Reincarnation—stylized as NieR Re[in]carnation—is the latest entry in the series, set in the very same universe as in Drakengard and other NieR games. While we really don’t know much about the story, particularly since Yoko Taro really likes to surprise his audience with shocking twists and reveals in his games, we know that the events in the game will feature a brand new cast of characters, and might also feature cameos and crossovers from previous titles, including the widely popular NieR: Automata.

In stark contrast with other games in the series, which are usually action RPGs, Reincarnation is going to be a turn-based RPG with a heavy emphasis on story and exploration. The game features gorgeous 3D environments and stunning hand-drawn character art and portraits, and will take players across a wide variety of locations with breathtaking visuals. This makes NieR Reincarnation, more than just another game to beat, a comprehensive experience to stimulate the senses.

However, considering all the amazing things that await you on the NieR Reincarnation release date (which is today, by the way!), you’ll definitely want to play it on the best platform to thoroughly enjoy all its features. Sadly, this game is only available for Android and iOS, which means that you’ll lose a lot of the awesome details since you’ll be playing on a small screen, and possibly with performance issues unless you have a really good and expensive device.
