New enemies, new items, more powerful enemies, each of these will help you move forward in the story. It’s brilliant, it’s fun, and it adds something more to the sheer amount of time that you may be, or want to be spending, travelling through the various dungeons in their default format for quests, experience and items before using the Plan System to change things up. From the protagonist Neptune and her closest friends Compa and IF to the various supporting cast and the other Goddesses, there’s more than enough dialog to go around to the point that sometimes the self-awareness drops in as Neptune herself calls out the walls of text or tries to avoid them to get things moving. These narrative segments are a combination of pure written dialog and loads of voiced over segments for when things are either really important or the punchline was too much to pass up on.

It works and it works well as Compile Heart and Idea Factory have not only done it here, but have also pulled it off in Dragon Star Varnir, Death End re Quest 1 and re Quest 2 and the various versions of Fairy Fencer F. It’s the balance between a fairly hardcore Dungeon Crawling experience that often times requires a lot of grinding, and a Visual Novel like a approach to tell the rest of the story. Otherwise everything else looks and sounds great.Ĭoming back time and time again, there’s an appreciation for the style of gameplay that the Hyperdimension, Megadimension, Hyperdevotion, MegaTagmension, Superdimension and Cyberdimension all have in common.

Load times, graphics, combat, if there was one thing that I would have a complaint about is that the pre-movie renders looked dated and I have to wonder if that’s because they were originally brought over from the PS Vita (before the PS4 port) which uses a much smaller native resolution than the main consoles outputting full 1080p and 4k. Having continuously evolved over time, and in some cases rolled back, ReVerse is no different as while it’s retelling a story told a few times over, the engine under the hood makes things both look and run smooth.

Found and nursed back to health by Compa, it won’t be long before Neptune joins her other bff IF (Iffy for short) as the three travel to regain Neptune’s memories through a series of shenanigans. Having now seen sequels, ReBirths, and spin-offs, the series is popular enough that fans like me no longer even need to worry about “IF” we are going to get it, but when.Īnd so starting back over from the very beginning, before the introduction of the CPU candidates, before the introduction of a whole Neptunia-verse, Neptunia: ReVerse stars our “fifth” wall breaking protag as she’s defeated by the other three Goddess and sent plummeting down to Gamindustri. Happy as I own every entry of the series, but surprised as one had to wonder if the niche market was enough to make it worth bringing over. Starting off from the very beginning ten years ago, Hyperdimension Neptunia was an obscure Japanese RPG that itself was all about video games and its tropes and I’m still in some ways surprised that it had been localized. If there’s one series that will continually keep me coming back for more it’s Hyperdemension Vert… Errr sorry, wrong script, Hyperdimension Neptunia! Celebrating its tenth year anniversary, Compile Heart and Idea Factory have brought the CPU Goddess to the latest generation of gaming consoles in Neptunia: ReVerse and while this adventure isn’t a new one as it’s basically ReBirth:1 (V3), this transition comes with a few neat twists.
