Do You Enjoy Platinum Style Combat Systems?
Another major aspect of Automata to considers is combat, and it may be a bit different from the typical action-RPGs you’re used to. With Platinum Games coming on board to develop the game, they brought their trademark level of hectic battles. This means you’ll need to be on your toes in every combat encounter, and things are pretty over the top. You can choose from four different weapon types and unleash a slew of different combos and abilities on your enemies. You’ll also have a small robot assisting you, that you can use to fire projectiles.
If you’ve played previous Platinum games you’ll have some inkling of what to expect, although Automata does draw inspiration from NieR as well. Boss battles and certain encounters will utilize tons of projectiles, almost to the point of being called a bullet hell. Because of this, it’s almost always best to keep on the move in Automata. Just make sure your skills are ready for a fast-paced and demanding combat systems, before you go ahead and pick up NieR: Automata.
