Nier is also the name of the main character who is seeking for a cure for his dying daughter.

Nier is accompanied by a talking book named Grimoire Weiss, also used to shoot projectiles at enemies.

Progressing through the game yields new powers and different weapons.

Main and side quests lead the party to various battles, controlled in a hack-and-slash manner using melee and ranged weapons as well as magic spells.

Weapons can be upgraded and specialized to deal improved damage against certain enemies.

The camera can be controlled throughout most parts of the game.

The view switches to isometric or 2D-side scrolling at some locations.

The Japanese version of the game comes in two editions: NieR RepliCant (PS3) and NieR Gestalt (Xbox 360).

The major differences involve Nier's appearance and his relationship to the character Yonah.

All other international releases are based on NieR Gestalt , regardless of the platform.

About PlayStation 4

The PlayStation 4 (2013) cemented Sony's dominance of the eighth console generation, with a library exceeding 30,000 titles once indie and digital-only releases are counted. Most PS4 games remain affordable for collectors, but limited physical print runs — particularly from smaller publishers and later in the console's life cycle — are starting to see steady price increases as digital storefronts eventually wind down support.

Gamevaro tracks NieR:Automata for PlayStation 4 with separate market values for loose, complete-in-box (CIB) and factory-sealed copies, sourced from real eBay sales. Prices also vary by region — PAL, NTSC-U and NTSC-J releases of the same game often sell for different amounts due to print run sizes and regional collector demand.

Adding NieR:Automata to a Gamevaro collection takes seconds — search by title or scan the box barcode, and the app fills in cover art, release details and current pricing automatically. This PS4 release dates back to 2017.
