    I bought this game because of the cult following the series has and wanted to see what this game was all about. So keep in mind that I am a newcomer and have never played a neptunia game before.

So keep in mind that I am a newcomer and have never played a neptunia game before. I have however played multiple NIS games and this game shares many similarities to those. For better or for worse. On the positive side this game has that classic NIS graphical charm with very well drawn characters, cute and charming enemy design, and sometimes very clever dialogue. On the other hand this game also suffers the same flawed over complicated combat system, boring grinding sessions, and that dialogue I mentioned earlier I hope you like it because there is a metric skuntload of it. From playing this game and going back to what others say apparently all they care about are the characters and fan service. Which IS the best part of the game but when the other 60% of the game is a boring slog then I can not recommend this game to anyone who is not already a fan of the series.… Expand

    JRPG game as it core, it feels kind lifeless with never any good cutscenes, just text upon text upon text. The gameplay is fine, there is tons of different loots, but not that much loot that does any difference just some things that makes you change appearance. It is funny at times, and can also be difficult, requires some grinding.

    This is a fun, cute and creative RPG that relies heavily on references to video game culture to drive its story. Each main character is based off of a console, and has their own little personality and quirks to them. The game is turn-based, but has a unique combo system that really lets you find the best options against different foes depending on their elemental alignment.

Each main character is based off of a console, and has their own little personality and quirks to them. The game is turn-based, but has a unique combo system that really lets you find the best options against different foes depending on their elemental alignment. The music is really good and the anime aesthetic and art-style are a joy to the eyes. This game really knew it's target demographic and found it's niche very well. I found a lot of fun with it, and there is a lot to do outside of the main story as well.… Expand

    To be fair, I havent finished the game 100%. I have played 7 hours into it and I have noticed a few problems, The enemy A.I. is very unbalanced in some battles. You will encounter many instant deaths and have to start over from your last save--the game does not auto save.

    There is entirely too much reading involved in this game, even though it is fully voiced-you will grow tired of the stupidity very quickly and you will be skipping through everything except the battles, which brings me to my next problem, it seems there is always one enemy just out of reach during battles and of course its usually the strongest of the group so you get sucker punched and lose a lot of HP before you ever throw the first punch. Of course later in the game you will encounter monsters who will kill your entire team with one strike and yes this happens a couple of times within the first two hours of gameplay.
    Now you are wondering why I gave it a 7? well, when I'm not skipping stupid conversations about eating pudding and getting killed by one strike and having to start over from my last save, the game is fun, great artwork, controls are responsive and the voice work is better than average.
    Overall, buy it on sale, open your mind, grit your teeth and give it a try.    … Expand

    This game was an average one, average story, average gameplay (but it did get boring after a few hours) most of the characters was annoying and the graphics wasn't anything special.

    They show an adult version of Neptune in a black outfit. Why couldn't they just give the cpus, Compa and If new clothes?

    This game is meant to be enjoyed by fans of the series and the JRPG genre, but if you cannot stand large amounts of text and you love tons of action, this is not your game. Its approach to a more mature and complex story has been a success by Compile Heart.

    Represents a strong step forward in a franchise that seemed all too content to stand in place. While I wish it went further with its parody than it ever really does, a sequel that doubles down on the good ideas introduced here could potentially lead to something great.

    For fans of the previous games, Megadimension Neptunia VII pretty much offers more of the same but a little quicker and prettier. For those still not acquainted with the series however, whilst this is as good a time as any to jump in, the twee storyline full of fan service will probably present a barrier to completely enjoying it.
