  Now waiting for any modder to port these zombies into Nep 4 Dead as infected and special infected for the maximum Neperience. ----------------------------------------------------------- For Non-Neptunia Fan Read Here ----------------------------------------------------------- - This game is spin-off and not related to the main series. - This game genre is "Beat 'em up" like Warriors/Musou Series from Koei. - There's leveling system but it's not complicated, just adding status in Atk, Def, HP, and Combo. - Clunky/bad camera control (For me, this one was the worst part that ruined my gameplay exp) - So-so story. The selling point is still comedy but it may hard to catch up if you don't know character and their personality from the original game. - Gameplay length is short. There are only 12 chapters and took around 30 sec - 3 mins in each mission. (Might take a little bit longer in later chapters) - Very small maps, more like you're fighting in arena in different environment. - 4 players co-op (but sill has bug and keep crashing atm) ----------------------------------------------------------- In Conclusion ----------------------------------------------------------- - This game is average beat 'em up. - Would recommend if you are not serious about simple gameplay and better if you have friend to play with - Wouldn't recommend if you love action game with complicated combat system. - Wouldn't recommend if this will be your first Neptunia game. This isn't a good gateway game to learn what NepNep is (as same as the rest of the spin-off games) and you may end up hating this series. If you intended to do this, please play the main series first, especially Megadimension Neptunia VII.

  A huge improvment over "Neptunia U" in terms of gameplay. Other than that, ye old Neptunia Hanck'n'Slash Dynasty Warrior-ish game. Pros: * Blanc as protagonist * Orange heart and Tamsoft playable * Customisation options are ton * Humor still there, still solid * Solid gameplay * MULTIPLAYER! * Kickass opening * Cons * Somewhat lazy in terms of porting (But this is usuall issue for all Neptunia games on steam) * Can and will be grindy for completionists In short: 10 neps out of 12

  EDIT: As of version 1.09 (Halloween patch release) all major issues and annoyances have been solved. (I'm keeping this up as a negative as it lists the initial issues and the days that they were fixed (and broken again, and fixed again) rather than shifting it to a recommended title. I always look at the negatives first and seeing these issues along with a timeline of when they were dealt with seems more useful to a prospective customer than yet another review comparing this to Neptunia U. Edits will be added to the bottom of this review as things change, original will be preserved at the top, scroll down for current information. If you liked Neptunia U you're going to like this as well. Great game, buggy as all hell on PC. It's a fresh release, so I suppose it's to be expected, but when I switch to full screen and everything goes black (there are other bugs, and some Vita legacy showing through with the graphics, but that black screen thing is the only one that's a real issue and not just nitpicking) I can't recommend this game... Yet. They'll fix it, and when they do it'll be worth it, but I'd say hold off for now. EDIT 5th October: There has been an update pushed, the crashing has stopped, but the black screen and minor freezes when the resolution switches back to 720p between every intro video is still there. Not quite there yet, but much more stable now than it was when I first installed it. EDIT 8th October: All crashing is gone, multiplayer works (but people bounce in and out of rooms like crazy and hardly anyone is online) now, the only issue is the wonky intro videos making it go nuts jumping between fullscreen and black boxes, but once you get through the intro and to the start page there's now nothing wrong with it. EDIT 17th October: Crashing again, seemingly at random, during the initial launch when screen jumps between native resolution and 720p black box hanging in the corner of the desktop. Works perfectly once you're to the menu, it's just the intro credits that are causing issues. EDIT 19th October: Crashing gone again, online play (if you can find someone in there) works, only weird resultion issues with into cinematics remains. EDIT 26th October: Blanc now says "Trick or Treat" in the menu. I'm not seeing any other differences. Resolution issues still present, but crashing has not come back. Game is currently stable, both offline and on, but the lobby is always deserted. EDIT 31st October: Resolution issues have been fixed. Game now plays pefrectly from launch to exit. Online multiplayer works, but is still pretty deserted, and single player has zero (at least that I've encountered) issues remaining.

  [b] Recommend if: [/b] [list] [*] It's on sale or money is no factor [*] You have played and liked other Neptunia games [*] You have not played Neptunia U, but think an arena hack and slash seems interesting [*] You have played Neptunia U and can't get enough. [*] You can handle the game being a PS Vita port [/list] [b] Not recommended if: [/b] [list] [*] You're looking for a challenge [*] You're looking for a deep story [*] You are counting on the Co-op to play with friends [/list] I got tired of this game's story pretty quick. It didn't seem to have the same quality of humor the other Neptunia games have. I had to start skipping the story mid game, because the battles can be really short. You're sometimes faced with 3 minutes of story, literally 30 seconds of gameplay, then another minute of story, then starting a new mission you may get even more story before you get more game play. If the battles were longer, this may not have been such an issue. Megatagmension has very little challenge if you learn to use all of the controls. Once I started blocking, and sticking with one character I flew through the game. A lot of the missions you will beat in 10seconds-1minute A large part of the game are the multiplayer missions, which you can start at any time, at any level. The multiplayer missions end up significantly harder than the end boss of the story mode. During my play time, players couldn't connect to me, and I couldn't connect to others, it is/was a wide spread issue. You may have to plan on playing the multiplayer missions solo. I was able to beat all the multiplayer missions on my own, and think it might be more fun that way, it's just not challenging enough with more people. I think a lot of my gripes with the game are because of design choices based on it being developed for a portable system (PS Vita). Short missions are good for on the go systems. You can't always depend on being able to play multiplayer so it would be nice to be able to play the other half of the game without internet. Consider 2 years from now, how many people are going to be playing the multiplayer anyway.. Despite it all, I had fun with it, which is why I'm giving it recommended status. But this game is not for most. If you've never played a Neptunia game, I recommend the first game: Hyperdimension Neptunia rebirth re1. If you've had your fill with Neptunia U, you can skip this one, it's not different enough.

  MegaTagmension Blanc + Neptune VS Zombies is a great spinoff of the Neptunia series. It's very similar to Hyperdimension Neptunia U : Action Unleashed for it's hack and slash genre and that this installment features co-op multiplayer! However, in regards to playable content, I find this one lacking compared to NepU, NepU has more quests I believe and afterwards you would have to complete the tournaments + Neptral tower if you were aiming for 100% achievements, NepU provides much more play. With MegaTagmension, after finishing the 12 acts, you'll have to resort to multiplayer to get 100% and it's pretty much more quests and luck to get certain items. A few things that I do like is the accessories in the game, all accessories are avaiable to all characters and do not require multiple purchases if multiple characters are going to wear the same thing. I also like how you can adjust the position/placements of the accessories. And of course, I liked how Uzume, Plutia and Peashy are in this game along with the new character, Tamsoft. I do have some cons about the game. Firstly, the game's consistency. I feel as though the game may be a bit too easy especially when you decide to do a "YOLO" with a character at level 8 on a mission that recommends level 25-30 (Around there) and you are still able to beat it despite being underlevelled by almost 3-4 times, if not more. Then again, for players who love a good challenge, this may be a downside. For me, I personally don't mind. With multiplayer, I do hope there is a patch in the future that may fix some possible issues such as players joining MP games that are password protected. I am willing to play game with another player but when I set a password protected MP, I set it because I want to do solo MP for achievements and so, it'd be nice if players would stop randomly joining my password protected rooms somehow XD Would I Nepping Neppemend This Game? Yes, Nepping Yes (I'm Neptunia trash, so this opinion is very biased) Though if I were to rate it honestly out of 10, I'd say 7/10 or maybe around 6.8/10 xS

  Perhaps this game will suit only the true fans of the game series Neptuia,as the game itself is rather monotonous and get bored.But for me this game was special because it added multiplayer,it really is possible to have fun with friends.Will list the pros and cons of this game. +Interesting idea about the zombie. +Added new characters,which was not in the game Hyperdimension Neptunia Action Unleashed:Plutia(Iris Heart),Peashy(Yellow Heart),Uzume(Orange Heart),and Tamsoft. +Multiplayer. +Nice atmosphere. Now the cons. -Uncomfortable camera. And perhaps all I am mostly satisfied with the game. Why I'm not talking about the graphics?Just because I don't like to judge a game because of the graphics,for me gameplay is important. My rating 9/10.

  This game really deserves the "Most bugs fixed with updates" award. Without changelogs it is actually hard to tell which bugs. I was able to actually find that one crash bug was actually fixed(when searching for lobbies with password set to "Any") Aside from that, this game is a good time waster. You come home braindead, call a friend: "hey, let's nep!". And then you play this game with blank mind.

  Blanny Blanny B is ready to direct a movie full of cuties and zombies. What's not to like here? The amount of character customization available in this title is amazing. Short skirts. Short skirts everywhere! I had a lot of fun dressing up my Magical Idol Girl Noirina to a new level of Waifu. The online play is fun, my girlfriend and I spent a lot of time doing all of the online challenges after we completeled the single player story. If you have nobody to play with, don't fret. You can do the online challenge levels solo quite easily. This was deifnitely an improvement over Neptunia U: Action Unleashed, especially since they didn't include the Lily Lord achievement this time around... 10/10 would Nep the enemies faces off

  Nep: The Zombie Slayers. Blanc will be the director and producer for this game's story. +Simple game, just nep every enemies that appear in map (Actually this series is like Hyperdimension Neptunia U: Action Unleashed). +You can nep with the other players in multiplayer mode. +Plutia and Sadie are available as playable character !!! +6 Steam Trading Cards are available. +And of course this game is still NEP SERIES !!! -Story is too short. Singleplayer mode can be done in less than 4 hours. -Pause system is not friendly. -Update program system is very confusing, -This game still have bugs, especially at opening (when enter Tamsoft intro, don't click/skip, or the game will crash). Still recommended: nep/10

  A game about lesbian anime schoolgirls fighting zombies? What could possibly go wrong? A lot of things, actually. While the main series are RPG games this one is just a button mashing Hack ‘n Slash game in which your character is placed in an arena and need to defeat hordes of enemies. Some of the arenas are just circles and others have a few corridors leading to some open areas but there isn’t anything to explore at all. Just go after the zombies and that’s it. While at the first glance the combat system seems to be somewhat interesting in the end you will end up only spamming the same moves over and over again because the game doesn’t really encourage you to change combos and try something new. Just spam the moves you think are more powerful and that’s it. That said, the game gets repetitive fast and the story doesn’t help much. While some of the dialogues are actually fun the whole thing isn’t something that make you want to pay attention because it is actually poor. The game, just like in the original series, works with the level up system but now this time you actually need to distribute the points in the attributes you want to upgrade the most. And well… the balancing of this thing isn’t really good since if you just spend all your points and max out the defense attribute your character will be almost immune to damage, something that is a game breaking feature that should not exist outside the cheats (that you unlock after beating the game) That said you can make this game be painfully easy, just making things even more boring. Just like in the main games there's an item shop where you can buy new weapons and well… just buy the strongest one and that’s it. You don’t really need to plan anything since in this game, unlike in the main series, the weapon you wield don’t really changes your combos in any way. If there’s something in this game that I think it was a nice addition to the series is the customization. At the same time it is a bit too simple the game allows to resize the accessories and place them wherever the heck you wish. Like, literally. If you, for whatever reason, want to place a wrist watch inside the character's head, you can. If you want to shove something into their buttholes, you can also do that. If you want your character to have a giant hat flying upon their head, take a guess. YOU CAN! You can even pretend to be in TF2 and make a towering pillar of hats. But the customization isn’t only limited to accessories, you can also unlock different variations of the characters main outfit and, if you want, you can also use a torn-up version of their main set of clothing so they will fit more to the zombie apocalypse scenario. (We all know you will actually make your characters wear that for other reasons) The graphics are ok when it comes to the playable characters but the scenery is way too bland. Ahh, whatever, nobody plays Neptunia games for the graphics anyway. The soundtrack is mediocre at the best, you might just want to put something else to play on Spotify. There aren't many glitches to mention but one thing that is annoying is that the game sometimes stop working when you boot it up on full screen. I really recommend you to play the game in windowed mode so this problem won’t annoy you. In an overall this is just a mediocre Hack ‘n Slash game that can only please Neptunia fans since it features a lot of different characters from different games and if you don’t even know who they are I don’t really think you’ll enjoy the game at all. And I can only recommend this game if it’s part of some sale since it doesn’t worth its full price. [spoiler] I’m only giving this game a positive review because it did turn the NepGear x Uni ship into something real! [/spoiler]

  This game is sure a mixed bag of good things and bad things when you look at this game. Many people say it’s a bad port and I can see why, since half the enemies just stand still till they attack you. Pros: Fun online Co Op Great accessory customization SO MANY WAIFUS TO CHOOSE A decent shop to buy stuff from A nice level system to upgrade ATK DEF HP and learn new moves Decent replayability with the treasure to collect. Weekly missions Many cloths to wear Epic boss battles Cons: Shitty campaign Really fast combo meter so it’s hard to keep Shop could have more items IMO The full price 30 is way too much!( that's why I got it on sale 40% off) You will need guides to get every achievement Final rating is a 8/10 Much NEP and loads of cute waifus!

  As an avid fan of Neptunia and IFI, it is with a heavy heart that i give this game a negative review. The combat is annoying and tedious, most characters are super slow (Which beats the whole purpose of a hack n slash game) skills are practically ineffective, quests don't give enough XP to efficiently level up (By the time I finished the game I was level 27, with the max being 99, and the final boss being recommended for levels 40+), Customization is pretty bland, and there's no CG gallery, which is quite surprising and disappointing, seeing as you need special criteria to unlock and view certain cutscenes. As for the plot, it's so bare bones you'd be forgiven if you even remember there's a story by the end of the game. The pros are that if you like Neptunia, the characters are as charming as always, so at least there's that. 2/10
