Story
The self-proclaimed hero, Neptune, awakes in a familiar world, but has no recollection of anything other than her name. With the help of a mysterious girl named Chrome, as well as three other familiar faces beloved in the Neptunia™ series, Neptune embarks on a journey through the mysterious dimension to try to regain her memory.

Little do they know, the world they inhabit is under attack by an enemy who wants to take civilization back to the time where 2D reigns supreme.

Can Neptune and her friends save the world and 3D games as we know it, or will they be flattened into two dimensions forever?

Artisan Studios and Compile Heart proudly present new, vibrant backgrounds and newly developed 2D animations hand drawn in this action-inspired side-scrolling RPG!

So this is the year VP style is making a comeback. Nice.

Shame that the people who own VP stopped making VP.

The gameplay on this one caught my attention with it's similarities to VP, but I remember hearing somewhere that the japanese release was full of bugs. Was that ever the case and if so did they fix those?

Thanks for doing the thread, Kokonoe. Shit got busy unexpectedly, appreciate you throwing it up for anybody interested.

Sadly, the Switch version I have preordered seems like it suffers from terrible loading time, half a mind to just cancel and buy a Steam copy.

It's nice to see at some people here enjoy these games. I felt like when the talk of the censorship was brought up, people were being really harsh on Nep Nep.

Yeah I'd rather the thread not go down that path. Just buy the games on the platforms you like I just wanna keep people informed before hand.

But yeah same I love this series I got into it 2ish years ago and it's been a real treat of humor and adorableness.

I saw the thread and wondered why my pre-order hadn't arrived but then realised it isn't out here until next Friday - I wonder why they put it out on Steam early?

The art style really looks fantastic.

I played it for a while yesterday on PC, not really a huge fan of it yet so far. The character models and animations during dialogue are nice, but the game itself just doesn't really feel like a Nep game to me. It feels like the developers (who I have no idea how they even got the license to make this in the first place since they haven't released anything else) were working on some other game and turned it into a Nep game during development. The platforming and general movement doesn't really feel that great, and the combat is just kinda spammy. I usually just fast forward everything since some of the animations take too long and you don't get much XP/money.

The song in the trailer is gorgeous but everything else pretty much repels me. I'll check out of the OST or at least the full version of the song in the trailer.

Last Neptune game (4 Goddesses Online) wasn't great, so I'm wary of what looks like another gimmicky spin-off rather than the more traditional JRPG style of VII. I'll still try it at some point of course, but still...

Only Nep spin-off I really enjoyed playing was the Noire one tbh.

Gamestop has failed me so hard, well maybe not completely, but they proved that their practice of taking preorders is fucking useless. I had a copy of this preordered for Switch, and it never arrived in the store, and it still hasn't.

Went to a different gamestop, and this location already had a used copy -_- Picked that up instead...oh yes, preordering was so useful.

Man, this artstyle looks great on my OLED.

Only played a bit so far, so I haven't had to do anything special during the battles yet, but I'm enjoying it.
Good to have a lot of English VA too, at least so far. Neptune's VA is clearly having fun with the fourth wall comments and talking to herself already lol

I wish it were old style RPG low resolution... high definition with pin-puppet/bone based animation really throws me off :(
If the story is fun i might bite... just not right now.

Cuphead really broke me for high def 2D animation xD
