rip, game had potential but in the end, it was all for the cause of money
Lo siento no soy lo suficientemente fuerte para jugar esto
4/10
Story or characters didn’t really interest me.

just a bit boring but cool to play for a bit
Getting through so I'm ready for any sort of lore revelations in the concerts over these next few months. This first arc takes a while to get invested and only starts adding from interesting more elements in the storybook vignettes in the later half.
Shame gameplay is just an autobattler, but now its gotten rid of the gacha grind by showering players with all the general resources to max level characters. My only regret was dropping this at launch to never be able to get 2B, Kaine or Zero.
Going to curse at Yoko Taro at the concert cause we're now even further from Caim being mentioned in any way shape or form

Very pretty art, not much else.
This arc was alright, although the side stories really were a hit or miss.
fuck mobile games though

This review is only for the original base story which was decent but the unfun mobile gacha mechanics made it not desirable to play though. Still, if you do complete it you will have part of a story that in the end eventually becomes something truly fantastic.

Un mobage avec un gameplay à jeter, j'y serai jamais allé sans la réputation de Yoko Taro et la fermeture imminente. On est là pour les histoires qui sont intéressantes, intrigantes, et qui se résolvent n'importe comment avec un final narrativement et thématiquement plat, déjà vu... J'allais dire sans rapport, mais y'a un fil rouge de rédemption/pardon et réparation de relations qui est SYSTÉMATIQUEMENT mal écrit, qui arrive toujours sans raison ni justification. J'ai bien aimé l'emballage d'exploration linéaire et de dialogues autour des combats automatiques nuls. C'est parfois joli, voire même charmant, avec des personnages qui se répondent bien. Bon par contre tout débloquer des histoires additionnelles c'est une méga purge.
Mobile game trappings aside, the art, music, and story of Nier Reincarnation is incredible and extremely valuable if you're a fan of this franchise overall.
For all intents and purposes, Reincarnation is Nier 3, and if you can't experience the end of the story before it shuts down, find somewhere to watch it because it rules.

Good night my sweet prince <3
I'm gonna say this now, the story is absolutely beautiful and fantastic, and the music is gorgeous, but my main complaint is the gameplay sadly, it's just so boring, not that you have to worry about that though because at the time of writing it's being shut in like, 5 hours! But I 100% recommend just watching the story on youtube and listening to the soundtrack

I guess I'll write out my thoughts on Reincarnation.
It's an interesting game. The individual characters' stories/worlds are written excellently (except for the last two storybook chars) and I loved reading basically everything on offer and learning more about their stories and their tragedies. The overarching main plot on the other hand was kind of mixed. Arc 2 was great and Arc 1 was fine but it all tied together pretty poorly in Arc 3 and the ending basically requires Replicant to have much impact. That's not necessarily a bad thing, but it feels like the plot of Reincarnation was thrown to the wayside in order to tie up loose ends from Replicant version 1.22. I really liked Levania and Fio's exchange before the end though, and seeing the characters in the ending sequence was great.
Arc 3 in general while not bad felt like it should've had an additional chapter (no fault to the dev team, the game shut down). I loved the growth and interactions of the characters but again it all gets swept away by the last chapter to focus on Him and Her. I'm not even getting into it here but Her is an abysmally written character imo and she also does the trope of becoming brown when evil which is. Really gross.
Overall, my rankings would be:
Character stories: 10/10
Overarching story: 6/10
Gameplay: 2/10 (It was so bad. At least the cage was fun??)
Music: 10/10
Overall: 5/10
DoDNieR continues it's trend of making mediocre games with very compelling stories.
Favorite characters were Rion, Dimos, Noelle, and 10H.

Odio mucho que haya sido un juego gacha con un gameplay automatico, pero amo la cantidad de informacion que se nos dio y sigue dando. Ojalá pronto hagan una versión off-line para no perder la cantidad masiva de eventos.

Loved the gameplay and story. I pulled all the automata characters and dipped.
El único gacha que juego actualmente, me hubiese gustado que fuese de consola pero bueno, se ve bien y todo pero ser gacha le quita algunos puntos. Pero no voy a mentir, lo juego por la historia y el Yoko Taro le sabe a hacer historias. Muy bueno.
I can’t believe I actually played a mobile game for more Nier. Anyway, it’s OK, which makes it probably the best mobile game I’ve played.
It’s got a phenomenal soundtrack, some great character design, and a cool atmosphere with some interesting lore. But it’s just completely saddled with ‘mobile mechanics’. A completely nothing empty battle system just had me running this on auto and sped up for the most part. Every single stat and upgrade (which there are FAR too many categories) road blocked by silly consumables that you have to grind monotonously for. I’m so glad I played this at the end of the life cycle when they were giving these out, I cannot imagine sticking with this before the free stuff.
I didn’t really care for a lot of the stories and just wanted to see the main plot unfold. This combined with the gameplay where I’m not really doing anything just kind of made me want it to be over. The wrap up of both Arc 2 and 3 were great, and all the stuff before it just felt like blockades in the way of these instances.
There is stuff to like here, with some genuinely great moments in the main plot, but I just wish these ideas and characters were used in an actual Nier game, and not through a mobile trudge.

i played this at launch and did really really enjoy it for a while and had fun with it but got to a point where i didn't want to learn the mechanics to further progress in yet another gacha game so it fell through the cracks. i had gotten 9S and Kainé at least so that's all that matters to me <3 and joker when p5 collab happened
Playing this after beating Automata before it goes EoS later in April
just beat the first arc, "The Girl and the Monster"
Im quite interested on where the story goes from here. The story and presentation are pretty nice and the questions left by this arc are enough reason to get me playing beyond the "it will become completely unavailable to play soon".........
The combat is shit tho, no getting around that. Wish i could give it a higher score but the combat really brings it down.

Review of first chapter The Girl and The Monster
Has some really beautiful set pieces and the music is great The Cage really reminds me of Ueda's aesthetic in games like Ico and Shadow of Colossus.
As far as the story goes the individual weapon stories are largely hit and miss with the overall arching story of Girl/Monster being fairly good and I felt ended really strong. The main problem is the game is just dull as hell the whole thing just plays itself. As shitty as it is that this game will soon be taken offline and be unavailable to play you can get the same experience by watching someone else play it on youtube quite literally.

This is a 6/10 just for the last story act, otherwise it would have been way lower. Only recommended to hardcore Taroverse fans
I spent way too much time playing this game
No matter what people say, this is NieR 3.
It's story is of the same quality you'd expect from Yoko Taro and his team. Just a damn shame it's a gacha. Would've been perfect for a format similar to Octopath Traveler.
Still, a worthy entry with some of my favorite characters of all time. I hope it'll one day get an offline port so that its not permanently lost to the void.

I think it's a bit lacking compared to other gacha gameplay-wise, but its story and the way it integrates in the greater Nier universe is fantastic
See you again some day.
With service for the game over, I can finally put my thoughts on this game.
I have somewhat mixed feelings on this game. While I enjoyed the story and all side content relating to the story (Character Stories, Dark Memories, Hidden Stories, and RoD Stories), I found the gameplay and the grind for materials extremely repetitive. It also didn't help that for the majority of my playthrough, the game would lag and crash a lot. I eventually discovered that it was due to my iPad being an old model, and I was lucky to transfer my data over to my iPhone 13 before service ended.
Unfortunately, I didn't find this out until roughly a month before the end of the game. If I had found this out a lot sooner, I would've had a much better time with the game overall. But that didn't happen. In the end, I missed out on completing Sarafa's and 10H's Dark Memories, and missed out on completing RoD Stories for 63Y, Lars, and Griff.
Regardless of my experience with the mobile game, if it were to ever be remade for consoles, I would definitely pick it up again to relive the story and be able to complete all of the Dark Memories and RoD quests. I'm not sure how the game would be translate from mobile to console in terms of gameplay, but I have a feeling (and hope) that it would be a huge improvement in playability.

Picked this game up on February, after its demise was announced. It was clearly meant to be played on bite-sized segments with the fact that their chapters were mostly standalone with an overaching story. I didn't even care about the teambuilding because you only needed like 150k power at maximum (and the UI was EXTREMELUY LAGGY for some reason), and I have nothing positive to say about the fighting itself.
That being said, the music is soothing and god-tier. And I grew attached to the type of storytelling. I liked the references and payoffs.
I'll probably watch all the extra stories someday.

Still playing it, on second arc.
When you play it like visual novel, the stories are compelling and pretty. And the global story is pretty good. Art is good.
The rest of it is a mess of systems that makes the game autoplayable or a torture.
