    This could have been interesting, but - among other things - clumsy gameplay, long loading times and a lack of online adversaries keep it from reaching its true potential. Shame.

    So this is what it looks like if Compile Heart looks at Dynasty Warriors and Monster Hunter and tries to put it into the Gamindustri universe. If it wouldn’t be for the sort of interesting team battles and the nurturing of the characters this would be a total failure.

    Each entry is an experiment, one that may crash and burn or possibly be an overall improvement. For now, the series would be fine exclusively being RPGs, and I doubt anyone would blame them for playing it safe.

    If you’re a massive fan of the Hyperdimension Neptunia series, or not at all picky about your hack-and-slash titles, you might get a kick out of MegaTagmension Blanc + Neptune VS Zombies. Unfortunately, there’s not much I can say is worth the investment for anyone else; outside of a decent multiplayer mode, the game only has a mind-numbingly dull campaign to offer.

    Menu navigation is a    MegaTagmension Blanc + Neptune vs Zombies is somehow a worse version of HYPERDIMENSION NEPTUNIA U: Action Unleashed.

    Menu navigation is a pain due to slow transistions between screen and load times when going through the character setup screen. The UI issues also extend to the game’s battles where the game does not in anyway inform you when your abilities (activated by holding R+one of the face buttons) comes off cooldown, leading to your character of choice being stuck guarding.

    While the game does have a large cast of playable character ranging from longtime fan favorites to new additions to the Neptunia multiverse the game punishes you for using more than a small number of them. If you try and use all of the characters evenly you’ll quickly find that you are far underleveled for the enemies you’re facing in later chapters. Pick two characters whose play styles you like and just stick with them throughout the story mode. I would heavily suggest taking Vert and Ram/Rom since these three have the best combination of abilities to deal with both large hordes of enemies and smaller groups or 1v1 boss fights.

    The only consistently good part of MegaTagmension Blanc + Neptune vs Zombies is the cutscenes between action stages. All the referential and pun focused humor seen in other Neptunia games is here and is as enjoyable as it ever was. If you bring certain characters for a mission you can even get a different version of the scene that plays before the action stage.

    If you are in dire need of an action focused Neptunia game then pass this one by and get HYPERDIMENSION NEPTUNIA U: Action Unleashed instead. While there is less story in Neptunia U the gameplay is far better in every respect.    … Full Review »
