    Possibly the very game slated to be greater than VII. A hot take, I know. Neptunia Virtual Stars has a lot to offer and my only real complaint that isn't a nitpick is the lack of boss-specific themes. This game goes back to all the things great about Neptunia. Yet surprise, surprise, critics give it a similar rating to the equally underrated, Original Neptunia game. I'm starting to thinkPossibly the very game slated to be greater than VII.

    As a Nep fan since the very original PS3 game, these "spin offs" have always been either a hit or a miss and NVS is yet another prime example of this, whilst the game is 'okay' it still feels like just another cash in title, the series is desperately in need of a mainstream sequel to VII which is perhaps the best in the series and NVS doesn't come close. As you can expect, NVS isAs a Nep fan since the very original PS3 game, these "spin offs" have always been either a hit or a miss and NVS is yet another prime example of this, whilst the game is 'okay' it still feels like just another cash in title, the series is desperately in need of a mainstream sequel to VII which is perhaps the best in the series and NVS doesn't come close. As you can expect, NVS is basically aimed 100% at Vtuber scene naturally paid DLC for ones like Kizuna AI.

    Combat is clunky at best and once again, feels like Compile Heart had a low budget to work. Music and sound are probably the best aspects of the game and for a near full price game...thats not exactly a compliment, if I'm being honest - this just isn't that good and not remotely worth the RRP, wait for a good sale.

    Finally, please!! For the love of Nep, Compile Heart/Idea Factory produce what the fans actually want! And thats a mainstream sequel to MegaDimension.    … Expand

    This is a Neptunia spin-off that reminds me a little to 4 Goddesess online, with the difference that this is a TPS. You got on a linear adventure in 3D levels with some little exploration and in vibrant neppynvironments. The game can get tedious after the 10hr but it just last 12 or 15 if you wanna plat it. Very recommendable for Nep fans, but not so much for anyone who dislikes long textsThis is a Neptunia spin-off that reminds me a little to 4 Goddesess online, with the difference that this is a TPS.

    I can't believe that they've gave up the english voice acting for this every other three games were all blurry too bright and the two voices of Noire and Vert were terrible they've just made things up and got them all turned worst since they both took characters from the ones we knew and loved .4 long years now no one likes what it has become.

    Edited: A gorgeous game that suffers from having way too much. As mentioned this game looks great! Vibrant colors and a graphics engine that helps it all shine through, unfortunately that's as far as the good vibes go for this one. It's a chaotic mess with too much going on.

It's a chaotic mess with too much going on. Even in the game's development as whenever it goes to another character they often bounce around bugging out sometimes. The worst part is the control scheme though. I put the game down for a week and tried to come back, spent about an hour trying to figure out how to press a button in game before just putting it back away. If you've got to catch them all then wait for it to come way down in price, otherwise let's face it most of these games are meaningless and silliness, so you can easily miss picking this one up.… Expand

    Neptunia Virtual Stars is a tough game to recommend even for the fans. The regular cast of characters remains as engaging as ever, while the newcomers fit in quite nicely. The story is a nice take on parodying the current state of the internet using the unique viewpoint that the series has carved for itself. Beyond the overly long cut scenes, the gameplay is dull despite the variety that the title and minigames try to provide. While this game won't attract any newcomers, hardcore fans might want to dabble with this after a very deep discount.

    After the disastrous Super Neptunia RPG packaged in 2019 by Artisan Studios, we harbored the sincere fear of finding another title that is poor in every respect in our hands. The Japanese developer Compile Heart has instead taken over the reins of its flagship franchise, and although Neptunia Virtual Stars lends its side to several critical issues, the result is all in all enjoyable. The gameplay and the balance of the difficulty should be revised, but overall the spin-off manages to effectively carry out its duty, which is to entertain historical fans of the saw and fans of virtual YouTubers.

    The inclusion of popular Vtubers’ isn’t enough to save Neptunia Virtual Stars, as it ends up being an underwhelming mess that fails to deliver.
