It’s a bit silly, but the characters themselves truly shine more than the story itself and that holds doubly true for the voice cast. The four goddesses of the gaming lands normally go to war, but now must unite against a threat that aims to take out the entire Gameindustri. The main character is Neptune - named after Sega’s failed Neptune console, with Noire the PlayStation representative, Blanc the Wii representative, and Vert the Xbox representative - with the in-game console names being changed to protect trademarks and all, but the references being quite clear based on color schemes.

The core of the series is that players use a party full of console manufacturer-inspired characters with 3D dungeon exploration and a circular battle grid that makes things a mix of a turn-based JRPG and an easier to follow tactical RPG all at once. It’s the same kind of issue that plagued the Yakuza series, where players have almost too many options to start with - do you go with the latest entry, the first, maybe a mid-point or spin-off game? It can be tough to parse things out going into a series fresh - especially one that has gone through as many iterations and genres as the Neptunia franchise has. Hyperdimension Neptunia has already seen one re-release in the form of Re Birth1, but this is the first full-on remake in the franchise’s history and brings with it upgrades via the PS5’s hardware and quality-of-life improvements as well, making it a fantastic starting point for those who have wanted to get into the series, but didn’t know where to start.

Over the course of that ten year span, the franchise has gone from being a turn-based JRPG, a tactical RPG, a side-scrolling shooter, a third-person shooter, and now with Neptunia ReVerse, back to a turn-based RPG as it’s a full-on remake of the original adventure. The Neptunia series has become a low-key powerhouse over the past decade, starting off with humble beginnings on the PS3 before shining on the Vita and gaining steam on PC thanks to a larger global audience and a bump up in graphical fidelity.
