Description

The world of Gamindustri is experiencing a strange calm - the Goddesses protecting each nation are all at peace, and there's not an apocalyptic threat in sight! In order to shake things up with a good story, the world's leading journalists Dengekiko and Famitsu challenge the CPUs and CPU Candidates to complete a series of missions but soon they all may be in for a far bigger scoop in this action-packed hack 'n' slash!

Key Features
  • Street brawling in 1080! For the first time ever, your favorite Neptunia characters will have to hack ‘n’ slash their way through waves of enemies in real time! In the free-roaming stages, you’ll get to create chain combos both on the ground and in the air, all with 1080p graphics!
  • Two-person party! With the Dual System, you’ll be able to switch between two characters on the battlefield. Balance out each character’s strengths and weaknesses to create the ultimate battle duo, and even get some new playable characters – some of whom might be familiar from previous Neptunia games.
  • Let’s get physical! The heat of battle can cause some wear and tear on your outfits. When you experience a “Costume Break,” your outfits will tear, lowering your defense but increasing your critical rate and EXE Drive Gauge. The road to comebacks is paved with ripped fabric!
  • Skills get the kills! Fill up the EXE Drive Gauge in order to clear the room with two tiers of special attacks, and you might just get a helping hand from your friend later on to perform some super special attacks!

A modest title, yet in a way it captures Neptunia’s pleasant simplicity much better than many later bloated spin-offs. The gameplay is a casual variation of musou games where you fight waves of largely brainless

Hyperdimension Neptunia U: Action Unleashed is a side game in the Neptunia series that ditches turn-based battles for hack-and-slash action. You pick two characters before each mission and switch between them mid-fight

I got all of the trophies for this game on the Vita twice. Once with someone else's profile and a second time after I deleted it and used my own profile. So I guess I am maybe kind of an expert on this game? This game

This is basically Neptunia X Senran Kagura before the actual crossover. Literally if you love SK like I do, I can't recomend this enough. It's fairly low budget and not too complex, but it has a very great feel to it,

Pretty basic hack and slash game. Kinda just turned my brain off playing this, does get quite repetitive fast. Mainly continued playing for the NepNep lore, but it is a spin-off game so there is not as much development
