The director of upcoming action RPG Stellar Blade says it's a "great honor" for the game to be called "Korean Nier," a common sentiment in viewer discussions of the game, because he's a big fan of Yoko Taro, the Nier man himself.
In an interview with GamesRadar+, game director Hyung-Tae Kim (via translator) shed more light on Stellar Blade's influences and inspirations, specifically the Nier series. He says he's enjoying the comparison, even if it isn't a perfect match for Stellar Blade's gameplay.
