What pops up to mind when you hear “VIIR?” You might think, “oh, it could be the long-awaited Final Fantasy VII Remake.” But surprise! It isn’t. It’s actually Megadimension Neptunia VIIR – but this time you get to be with your console goddess up close and personal, but would you want to?

People often joke about the number of sports videogames out in the market, then you look at a franchise like Neptunia. The games range from traditional RPGs to idol simulation games and they seem to come out every other month. It also feels that every entry seems to be a carbon copy of another. While the characters and dialog are charming, the games themselves are nothing to be desired of as of recently. Until now.
I’ll just say this right out of the gate. This game is good. Not ironically good, but actually good.

Nep Nep is no longer held back by the power of the cell. This time we get to see Neptune and co. shine in 8 GBs of GDDR5. Compile Heart’s Neptunia series has finally landed on the 8th generation of consoles, but will it offer anything new and exciting other than a fresh coat of paint?

In the past, I’ve compared the Hyperdimension series to the days where you would bicker among your peers regarding about your favorite console of choice in the playground. This installment however would be a low budget movie. One that you would find being sold at the gas station next to the playground for dirt cheap. You know there are better films out there, but from time to time you long for some cheap frills.

Hyperdimension Neptunia Re;Birth2: Sisters Generation is a turn based RPG, a remake of Hyperdimension Neptunia mk2 that came out in 2011. Read our original review of the game here.
I have not played this game on any other formats, or any Hyperdimension game really.. I feel like this game on PC was a bit of a drag to play. And I’m sure it’s much better to play on the Vita just for convenience sake. Having to sit through what seemed like 20 minutes of intros with text and voice overs,there were some short movies but for the most part it was just clicking X to proceed. There were certain bits in the dialogue that are quite good though.

The Hyperdimension series are slowly invading all of your favorite genres. From a traditional start with turn based RPGs, to idol management, what other genre can the series tackle on? The hack and slash genre of course. Hyperdimension Neptunia U is Compile Heart’s take on the tried and true formula that was popularized with Koei’s Dynasty Warriors series. Except this time, you don’t have to pursue Lu Bu.

Just like the console manufacturer she was based on, Neptune has to pave way for others to shine. In this case, it’s Noire’s time to take the spotlight. But will her adventures be as memorable as everyone’s favorite purple haired protagonist?

There has been a recent surge in Japanese games on the PC. You have Square starting to port various Final Fantasy titles, Konami with Metal Gear, Capcom with Street Fighter, just to name a few. Not to be outdone, Idea Factory/Compile Heart now has joined the party. The consolewars have finally landed on your PC! It’s Nep Nep, in the ever so glorious 1080p.
