While fans around the globe are waiting hopefully for a possible sequel to Victory II, Compile Heart and Idea Factory International have instead decided to bring to PS5 the definitive version of Hyperdimension Neptunia Re Birth1, that is the remake of the episode that several years ago. However, it is since 2015 that the parody series par excellence has completely given up on the idea of carrying out its main storyline, instead entrusting the task of keeping the brand alive to a long series of rarely inspired spin-offs (by the way, here find the review of the forgettable Neptunia Virtual Stars). ![]() Hosted by 44 Bytes.Sometimes I find it hard to believe that eleven years have passed since the launch of the original ( and disastrous!) Hyperdimension Neptunia, during which the Compile Heart home franchise has expanded so much that it now includes more than twenty titles. © 2022 Hookshot Media, partner of ReedPop.

Most V-tubers don't get any role in the story.Quick switching between characters and combat styles.It’s great that the developer has managed to seamlessly blend together real V-tubers with the ladies from Gamesindustri, but it’s a real shame that there’s nothing else that lifts this game above average. While Neptune and her friends are just as enthusiastic and charming as ever, both the gameplay and story feels a little stale. You’re already given plenty of money and healing items so there is very limited incentive to do any of them. The problem is that many of these activities feel repetitive and boring, and the rewards you get feel a little pointless. There are plenty of side-quest related activities for you to engage in whether that’s requests from citizens, rescuing V-tubers, or rhythm-based mini-games to indulge in. Even in boss fights, health crystals will regularly drop so you rarely feel in any danger. The game also feels overly generous with drop rates from enemies, leaving you swimming in healing items which you can use at any time with no cooldown. The long range attacks you get with the Goddesses are easier to use but they make combat feel a little too easy. Getting up close to enemies feels quite clunky and pulling off combos and special attacks doesn’t feel as satisfying as it should do. All of them handle a little differently, with the Gamesindustri ladies having guns to mow down the enemies, whereas the V-tubers are more hack-and-slash. When exploring each dungeon you’ll get to freely switch control between the four goddesses as well as four V-tubers, even in the midst of battle. There are a lot of different V-tubers that you’ll get to see, although many of them don’t get any role in the story but will just be shown during loading screens or on TVs playing in the background of dungeons. In case you weren’t aware (and this author definitely wasn’t) V-tubers are basically YouTubers who appear online using a computer generated avatar, usually in the form of a cute anime-style girl. What makes Neptunia Virtual Stars unique is that the four goddesses will get to join up with V-tubers from our own world. The story aims to parody sites like YouTube and Twitter, it’s silly and convoluted at times but entertaining in its own way. This time around the characters are transported to Virtualand where they are asked to help save all of the nearby worlds from the nasty villains, called Antis. Neptune and the other three goddesses from Gamesindustri are back in a brand new action RPG to celebrate Hyperdimension Neptunia’s 10th anniversary. ![]()
