The self-proclaimed hero, Neptune, awakes in a familiar world, but has no recollection of anything other than her name. With the help of a mysterious girl named Chrome, as well as three other familiar faces beloved in the Neptunia™ series, Neptune embarks on a journey through the mysterious dimension to try to regain her memory.
Little do they know, the world they inhabit is under attack by an enemy who wants to take civilization back to the time where 2D reigns supreme.
Can Neptune and her friends save the world and 3D games as we know it, or will they be flattened into two dimensions forever?

Not worth $60. Get it at a discounted $20, then it's worth the price. Most people finish the game in just about 20 hours, I finished it just above 19. It was not JRPG difficulty. At no point in the game did I have to stop and grind or farm. All of the bosses and enemies were a piece of cake at the natural level. It's not a good RPG or a good Neptunia game, but it was still fun. There are pixel perfect jumps at the beginning but you get double jump later on that makes them easy. Overall, it's a good experience if you have the time to kill and want an easy sense of accomplishment.

I was quite surprised. A game by a western developer in cooperation with the original neptunia devs.
+ Pleasant graphics
+ good animations
+ my fav Heroines pretty good in motion
+ i like the drawn bacgrounds
+ simple and easy to follow story
+ enjoyable gameplay
+ funny story with its moments :D
+/- music was ok
+/- controls were a bit clunky from to time
+/- minor bugs
- there a some serious issues with teh stat distribution (why has Noire so inferior stats?)
- short game (but its ok)
all in all for me as a neptunia fan i am quite surprised that this game was very entertaining for me. I saw more detailed expressions of the four goddesses. I am not quite fond of the visual novel style in the installments of this series, but this kind of story telling and cut scenes were by far pretty good. I enjoyed every minute of playing this game. I look forward to another 2D installment from both Artisan Studios, IF Compa etc.
Not all fans share my opinion, but it was something different and i am glad i played it :D

I really enjoyed the game. It wasnt as good as the main series but i think most nep fans will enjoy it.
The Art and Music was the strongest point of the Game. Story was very Nep-like. The Gameplay could have been really deep and fun but the game was to easy for it to matter

This is a good button masher with Nep & co. If you want a nice mindless game with cute characters and a light storyline, then this is it.
If you are looking for a game that is as fleshed out as other series entries, then this is not for you. If you've never played any Nep games before then you might want to give this a pass as much of its jokes and references depend on knowledge of the rest of the series.

Artisan treated the franchise well! I mean, it's not the best Nep game I've played, but it's solid nonetheless, especially the battle system (which was great). I had a lot of fun!
However, I should note: a disappointing aspect for me is that the whole premise of the series (characters representing video game companies/franchises) is largely ignored in this one. "Artisan" herself is the only new character where I got the reference. I even tried looking up what the new characters are supposed to represent, just in case I was missing something obvious, but as it turns out NOBODY ELSE KNOWS EITHER. Kind of a weird design decision, given what the series is about.
