The story is also pretty generic, although having the entire thing be an allegory for the game industry (even if the names are bit on the nose) is pretty awesome in my opinion. Honestly, that doesn't bother me the game exists to be fan service, not to push the envelope of JRPG mechanics. Other than, it's totally generic run-of-the-mill JRPG. Your four CPUs (seven if you play Arrange Mode which I'll discuss in a bit) as well as the four CPU Candidates that you can unlock later in the game can activate HDD (Hard Drive Divinity) and transform into their true forms which gives them a pretty substantial stat boost. If you’re a veteran of the franchise, then this is basically a slightly enhanced port of Hyperdimension Neptunia Re Birth1 with some new stuff here and there, so do be aware of that.As far as gameplay goes, Neptunia ReVerse is about as generic a JRPG as it gets in most ways.
#Neptunia reverse gameplay series
It has all the JRPG elements that have made the series famous, but be aware that in the graphical department, this game shows its age on the PlayStation 5. Neptunia ReVerse is a good game for newcomers to the Neptunia franchise who don’t know where to start. They are awarded for clearing the eight chapters in the game, for using the different game features (creating an item, using the Remake system, etc.), and a surprising seven trophies are awarded for mastering the fishing mini-game! I’ve always been a fan of Neptune’s voice actor, and I’ve again she delivered an amazing performance.Īs for the trophies, the list contains six Bronze trophies, eleven Silver trophies, seven Gold trophies, and a Platinum. It is composed of J-Pop tracks, and the battle theme was catchy. I did like the soundtrack of this game, which seems like remastered themes from Re Birth1. Another missed opportunity is that the DualSense vibration feature is not used. The environments also suffer from low resolution, and I was really expecting this PlayStation 5 release to sport a better visual quality. The CGI cut-scenes look like the original compressed PlayStation Vita video file have been upscaled and look way below average on a big screen. For starters, the most obvious aspect is the graphics.
Neptune releases are usually fun games, but there were some areas that didn’t shine in this new release. There’s also a new fishing mini-game that will net you bonus items. Outside of the battles and dungeons, there are side-quests available and the ability to create new game features by using plans. I also had to grind a few other levels in the following dungeon, so be warned that this game, in Original Mode, needs a little bit of grinding to get through some areas! The battle difficulty began with being fairly easy, and after spending a few hours of gameplay, I noticed that the difficulty had ramped quickly, and I needed to grind a few levels in a zone in order to get through the boss. The battles also support up to four characters at the same time. At first, this felt like a straightforward battle system, but there’s strategy involved when you consider that each type of attack leads to a different end result, like lowering the enemy shield or dealing combo damage.
Monsters have both an HP bar and a Guard bar that depletes when you keep hitting them.
As for the battle system, it is a fast-paced turn-based/action hybrid that requires you to press different buttons to attack when it’s your turn until you run out of stamina.
The different dungeons are well designed and are usually easy to navigate through.
