Several fans have pointed out that Stellar Blade has some similarities with the popular Nier games. During the interview, Kim added that despite the Nier series not being an accurate match for Stellar Blade’s gameplay, he is happy that fans are drawing a comparison. Kim however added, “Nier was very important for inspiration when it came to developing our games”.

, Kim shed more light on this comparison.

Since Kim has always been inspired by the dystopian science fiction works from the 1980s and 1990s, the team took a lot of inspiration from Harrison Ford’s sci-fi film Blade Runner, and the post-apocalyptic manga Battle Angel Alita.

Kim further added that even though the team has taken inspiration from Blade Runner, manga, and other similar games, Stellar Blade isn’t similar to any of them and the developers have worked hard to keep it unique.

Why do some think Stellar Blade to be similar to Harrison Ford’s movie?

Blade Runner, the science fiction film starring Harrison Ford, depicts a dystopian future in Los Angeles where humans are bio-engineered by a corporation to work in space colonies. When a group of these bio-engineered humans flees back to Earth, Officer Rick Deckard hesitantly agrees to track them down. Deckard was responsible for locating and decommissioning the bioengineered humanoids that illegally came to planet Earth.

Some fans might think the movie and the game are similar, as the latter might seem to have some similarity in the approach to its story and narrative.

In Stellar Blade, the humans lose a war against an alien invasion and are forced to leave their planet. These humans go on to settle in a Colony and from there, Eve and her team are sent to ****** the aliens and win back Earth.

The movie and the game might look the same to some fans because both of them involve a group of advanced beings who come down to planet Earth to take control of it. In Blade Runner, the protagonist goes to ****** bio-engineered humans who have descended to Earth, and in Stellar Blade, the protagonist is tasked with fighting an alien race who has taken control of planet Earth.
