    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    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.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Megatagmension Blanc is overhyped beyond compare. The gameplay for single player is bland at best, the multiplayer plays like a game from 2003, and Blanc's zombie story is absolutely awful. She simply decided to throw in cliches despite how much awful storytelling it would put out. I love the Neptunia Franchise, but this game serves as a negative stereotype as to how Neptunia would look to plebs. That in of itself worries me. I prefer their Re;Birth mechanics the best. Casual Dungeon exploration, turn based battle mechanics, and a story that feels original. They did not play to a single strength of theirs here, nor did they step out of their comfort zone with the zombie subgenre. They didn't even do a good job with the school setting! There were some fun scenes here and there (looking at you Magical Noirina ;) ) and the OST has a couple of good songs in it. I'm giving it a 1 because it is deserving of it. It neither captures the fun of Neptunia nor does it break ground in any shape. Not to mention that the visual and gameplay mechanics are dependent upon the lowest connection speed. Ugh. Buy it on sale, not for full price.… Expand

    Easily the worst game in the series. Avoid it if possible, if not, kill with fire before it breeds.

    In other words, MegaTagmension Blanc + Neptune VS Zombies ultimately works because, like the other Hyperdimension Neptunia spin-offs, it takes the series' formula and applies it to something new.

    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.

    As a stand-alone title, MegaTagmension Blanc + Neptune vs. Zombies does well for itself. The story may be silly, but it is enjoyable enough thanks to the characters.
