Does Nier Automata Ver. 1.1A Tell the Same Story as the Game?

Nier Automata Ver 1.1A does retell the story from the Nier Automata video game. However, there are extra scenes and details thrown in that will still make watching the anime worth it even to anyone who saw every ending of the 2017 video game.

For anyone who hasn’t played the game, the story is set in the year 5012, after aliens and machine lifeforms decimated the human population. In order to survive, humans fled to the moon to create androids capable of battling their adversaries. The story starts with android 2B being sent to Earth to assist 9S, another android stationed there.

Considering the series is created by Sword Art Online studio A-1 Pictures, those familiar with the game can still enjoy some great action scenes.
