“A delicate female character doing cool action is bound to draw comparisons.”
Stellar Bladeis better than NieR: Automata, according to the latter’s esteemed directorYoko Taro.
So why does Taro think Stellar Blade is superior?
“Stellar Blade is a really amazing game.
“The graphics are completely next-gen quality and the character design’s direction is amazing.
The cool male characters and cute female characters unique to Mr. Kim’s style are really appealing.
Her cuteness felt more important than any design choices.”
It just happens to be that there are not many games with a similar style.”
The pair also discussed the difference in difficulty between the two games.
Further, a comparison is made against FromSoftware’s Soulsborne games and the prevalence of high difficulty.
I would rather invent something different instead."
Additionally, both directors discussed the key influences behind their games.
He also warned players of using the sexualised lead character’s skin suit as it lacks defensive capabilities.
Stellar Blade is due out on 26th April exclusive to PlayStation 5.
