![]() ![]() Blanc summons six shogi pieces to deal damage or defend herself from bullets.Vert has a charge attack that makes her temporarily invulnerable as she dashes to the right side of the screen for massive damage.Compa fires pills in a downward parabolic curve.It starts with Neptune (as do most Neptunia games), who fires D-clips forward as she floats through parsecs of space infested with Dogoos, wherein her friends are trapped and possessed by Arfoire. In a manner of speaking, it’s like grinding to level 999, except the player is the one getting all the experience. As for the gameplay, well, nothing says ‘a whole different animal’ like an arcade-style game in a series full of RPGs. The level themes radiate J-pop vibes, but the boss theme kinda slaps. Takes a retro game concept and adds the charm of CPUs, Compa, IF, and lots of Dogoos. (The latter, mostly in relation to her silhouette and work environment.) Neptunia Shooter Lastly, the Game Master and Mastermind remind me of the anime series New Game! and Miss Kobayashi’s Dragon Maid respectively. Upon defeating a boss in this state, the worst case scenario requires the consumption of a Scroll of Return. Moreover, this state sometimes causes ABXY controls to stop working until the leader is switched. The former can be fixed via free camera mode, but the latter is irreparable. I’ve also noticed a glitch in the game where using a special occasionally locks the camera and movement controls. ![]() The former only applies to the party leader (who can only hold two at a time), and the latter costs 15000 Bells per dose (but 15 can be held at a time). The worst part about it is 4GO only has two means of revival: Philosopher’s Stone and Potion of Protection. Minotauros’ charge attack epitomizes this problem (below half HP in the standard case, above half HP starting with Holy War Minotauros), Demon King Jester has the AoE instant KO attack (which at least is more predictable/stoppable but occurs at capricious rates during the refights), the Rank 8 electric tiger has its killer sawblades, and the HachimaJin reskin seems to have random KO potential when it moves around while attacking with its claws. The main problem with 4GO (besides the 2D portraits not being animated as normal, which I can only assume is based on the genre) is the boss attacks that can sometimes arbitrarily KO the party in the blink of an eye. (Her standard attack makes her move forward if she’s on the ground, but if she’s in midair, it keeps her suspended at her exact position, as does casting spells.) She additionally has offensive magic like Nepgear and support magic like Vert. (In the latter game, her combos have a lot of cooldown, but such is negligible if you just dash or use a skill at the end of every combo.) Healers are crazy useful in games like these, and thanks to the unusual class choices of the cast in this installment, Blanc is the undisputed best on that front. This is one of the best games in the series in which to main Blanc, the others being the Re Birth series and Blanc vs. It has the same hack and slash kind of vibe, but with less small fry and more elements of exploration. Cyberdimension Neptunia: 4 Goddesses OnlineĪ Tamsoft game, like Neptunia U, designed in the style of an MMORPG. (I do still have plenty of grinding to do, but that’s another story for another time.) Know what that means? Time to give a quick(-ish) rundown of the remaining games. Therefore, as of today, I am officially caught up with the series. Over the past half-year, I started and finished Cyberdimension Neptunia: 4 Goddesses Online, Neptunia Shooter, and Super Neptunia RPG.
