I suspect Nier Automata's STG sections with shifting perspective were inspired by this game. This game clearly has the focus on building an integrated overall player experience, rather than being a hardcore shooter, which makes it a good introductory title for newcomer of the genre. It's a shame that it doesn't have localized voice acting. Nobody has got the time to read subtitle during gameplay, which makes the story in cutscene incomprehensible. Thankfully the lore documents that are unlocked after finishing the game give a pretty good explanation of everything.
