Square Enix Celebrate 15 million Downloads of Nier Reincarnation

Many westerners were sceptical about Nier Reincarnation, even Square Enix themselves said they weren’t expecting a massive like to the game in the west, not that they were expecting negativity, but they hadn’t expected such a massive response towards it, as all NieR games have been on a console and none on mobile. Especially with the strong dislike towards gacha games in which you ‘pay to win’, however as I’ve been playing NieR reincarnation, I can confidently say, you do not need to spend any money to get through the game.

There are events that Square Enix hold frequently on NieR Reincarnation, which also include the crossover events, NieR Replicant and NieR Automata, which allow players a chance to get a new character for free, just by playing through the game and completing battles, it’s fairly simple. Yes, the player needs stamina, but the player can easily gain stamina by earning them from friends or simply buying more with the in-game special event currency.

Not to mention, though these characters would be nice to have, they aren’t NEEDED to progress in the game, it’s easy to simply progress without any new items than what the game gives you along the way. I know, that can be boring BUT they also give you 10 free pulls on each roulette for characters and weapons to enable you to give you a chance at getting something new, not to mention that pulls after that are used with in-game currency AND Square Enix practically sends bonus gems to your inbox every week to collect, so I hardly ever run out. I don’t spend crazily, no but when I have enough to do pulls and buy other items, it makes it easier for me.

Personally, I feel that NieR Reincarnation works perfectly as a mobile game and is a great option for those who don’t have the luxury of a console, but it also displays the potential of a NieR game on Nintendo Switch, which also gets me excited. While it would be nice to play NieR Reincarnation on a console, it works great on mobile because of the turn-based battle system, where controls are fairly easy to use and upgrading weapons don’t require you to run your way to a blacksmith or a ‘junk heap’. It’s worth playing and I 100% recommend it. It would be wise to get the game now, while Square Enix celebrate as they are giving away a few thousand gems to each player, which will get new players off on a great start.
