It's easy for a long-running series to become lazy and self-perpetuating. Fans expect similar plots, enemies and settings, so the urge to present a familiar product can be tough to fight, especially when there's no way of predicting whether taking risks will delight or alienate existing customers,...

Getting 1-shotted by every monster in a dungeon that I had no idea I was too low-level for

'Hyperdimension Neptunia' is a franchise I've wanted to enjoy ever since the first game was brought to the West in early 2011. Unfortunately, I've ended up disliking every single entry.

It's pronounced Vee-Two Last summer, Destructoid promoted a blog by the magnificent OverlordZetta that asked what the deal was with Compile Heart. The question was a rhetorical one.

Like a Kangaroo!

Nice visual improvements; Combat is still fun; Lots of content

Recycled content; Inconsistent voice acting

Parents need to know that this game has it's perverse moments, like the main character and her little sister along with her friend taking showers and aforementioned little sister taking a bath with the mentioned friend and another dimension-version of the main character, another jaccuzi scene...

VII is the best Neptunia game to date. Everything has been drastically improved from the previous installments. Story, music, dialog, and so on. The gameplay is very solid and adds in a couple new features such as Parts Break and formation skills.

It may seem like there has been an onslaught of Neptunia games recently and whilst this is true, most of them have been remakes of the original PS3 games which have in turn come to PS Vita and Steam, there actually hasn't been a main release in the series since 2013.

You would be forgiven for reading the latest Neptunia title as the seventh entry in the series, given Compile Hearts' rampant release schedule for these games. However, the VII is in fact meant to be written as "V-2", in what was probably a playful jab at Final Fantasy VII.

Nice mmo game great graphics and nice visuals
