For years, Square Enix has been one of the RPG titans\u00a0in the world of video games. While most know Square for its groundbreaking work on titles such as Final Fantasy, Dragon Quest, and Chrono Trigger, the company branched out in 2010 and published a new franchise. Behind the direction of the esteemed Yoko Taro and his team at\u00a0the now-closed development studio Cavia, Nier was born.<\/p>\n

A spin-off of the Drakengard games, the cult classic finds players slashing their way through the villainous Shades, attempting to reverse\u00a0the effects of the deadly Black Scrawl disease that plagues the main character’s\u00a0daughter (or sister if you’re playing the Japanese\u00a0version).<\/p>\n

When we reviewed the game<\/a> in 2010, we weren’t the biggest fans of the title, saying it told an interesting story, but didn’t always hold up in the gameplay department. But has the 11 years since its initial release\u00a0changed any of those feelings?<\/p>\n

Join Andrew Reiner, Jeff Cork, Joe Juba, and me as we answer that question and more when we jump\u00a0back into the original Nier that launched the cult-classic series.<\/p>\n
