This game is trash like every other compile heart game, unless you're a pervert and just here for the tits. Characters have terrible writing so far, nothing is keeping me hooked, the game is very grindy and the characters and ost get annoying overtime. You can really see what little budget they put into this game

It's an understatement that this game changed my life. Found the series from Lost Pause. Played it, laughed the hardest I had, finally understood how RPGs can be fun sometimes, and became a full blown anime fan. But even more than that, I became a Nep Fan for life! Looking back on this entry, the writing isn't as serious as VII, SVS, or even R;B2, but instead its simply really well balanced between story beats and …

Very funny, cute, and full of charm for its time. As an older JRPG, it has plenty of grinding, though DLC helps alleviate some of it (which feels a bit unnecessary, but it isn’t essential for progressing through the story). The grid-based movement system can be a little clunky, and combat may feel slow or repetitive due to grinding, but it’s manageable and part of the classic JRPG experience. Despite these minor …

A better JRPG than I feel some people are willing to give it credit for. The combat system is good, the artstyle is really cute, decent soundtrack, and not too long or too short. The main draw is, of course, the banter of the characters, which mostly just comes down to meta-jokes, cute anime girls doing cute things, or just trolling other characters. The main drawbacks are unfortunately recycled assets and the …

The game is good for what it is, but also very grindy and basic. It's the type of game that is good to play while listening to something else in the background. The story is very meta and tropey, and leverages the whole gaming theme pretty well, so it can be an enjoyable read if you dont take it too seriously.

This track is so awesome 🥹 the stars of the show are the synths and guitars, they are aggressive and bring the energy! The piano on the second half of the track brings a nice contrast to the heavy sound!

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Hyperdimension Neptunia Re;Birth 1, aka Peaktunia, is a once-in-a-lifetime experience. It combines the greatest elements of every genre and masterfully delivers the quintessential blend of a deep and expressive combat system, thought-provoking storytelling, and a huge variety of immersive 3D environments. Its story changed something within me. The writing, along with several incredible plot twists, elevates the narrative to the level of masterpieces such as Umineko no Naku Koro ni, and Muv-Luv…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game is one of those instances where I wish I could give it a "mid" rating. I don't think I would have played it as much as I have if I hated it (a little more than 50 hours at the moment. ignore my total playtime it's not super accurate), but I don't think it's something that I would genuinely recommend either. Some moments can be funny, but overall the story is just a bunch of random ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥. You basically are just here for the character's personalities and that's about it. It's a…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Hyperdimension Neptunia Re;Birth1: 7.5/10 Pretty fun overall with likable characters and a very enjoyable sense of humour throught, the gameplay side is a bit lacking in many way by having a very simplistic and easy to break system (shoutout to Vert) but i was never really bored with it.
positive · AI labelView post →This is where the cycle begins, though Re;Birth1 is technically a total ground-up reconstruction of the original 2010 title. It’s the definitive entry point into the world of Gamindustri, introducing us to Neptune—the amnesiac CPU of Planeptune who is essentially the patron saint of fourth-wall breaking and carb-heavy snacks. The story is a colorful, satirical take on the console wars. You have four goddesses representing the major gaming platforms (Sega, Nintendo, Sony, and Microsoft)…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →If I had to describe this in a single word, it would be GRINDFEST. Neptunia is a series that always sparked some interest in me. The concept of cute girls representing video game consoles and having a console war in Gameindustri is amazing. It's great that they don't take it seriously at all. The humor might feel dated to some, but I genuinely think this game is hilarious, especially with all the silly terminology they use and how the characters are written. I really love Neptune in…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Hyperdimension Neptunia Re;Birth1 is the modernized starting point for the series’ main lineup, remixing the original game into a more approachable, system-driven JRPG. It’s equal parts light adventure and parody, built around colorful characters, constant gaming references, and turn-based combat with enough customization to keep it interesting. If you want to understand what “Neptunia” is about without digging into older versions, this is usually the easiest place to begin. Combat plays out…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It is a decent port but I still recommend playing this and the other Neptunia games with a controller since the keyboard/mouse controls are a bit weird. I liked the story, but other than that, the game does get repetitive and grindy. The voice acting is pretty good and funny when available. Also, the soundtrack is fairly good and recognizable especially considering that it would be used in future Neptunia games.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I am NOT a JRPG guy, but this was a blast! The characters are what really sells it, and there isn't a dull one in the bunch! The combat is also pretty fun in my opinion, though take that with a grain of salt. Some people say the game is very grindy, but that was absolutely not the case in my playthrough. Once in a blue moon, I'd face a boss I couldn't beat on the first attempt, but after not even 10 minutes of grinding, I'd be overleveled. I didn't even need to grind for the last boss at…

Chill out.

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is probably my favorite Neptunia game purely for the nostalgia. It gives you so many people to work with, and there is a lot of post game content to grind through. The multiple endings are sometimes a pain to grind out, but worth it. Great characters and story, and a good gameplay loop. Really makes you grind sometimes, but otherwise is a good experience. Would recommend as the first game to play for the series, since it's a main title and shows off what the gameplay will be like for later…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Played for a bit and it was reasonably entertaining until I realized how much grinding was needed for this game.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Fun casual game, but 100%ing this game is a nightmare. It's impossible without online guides. Had to look up which enemies dropped what items because you need them in order to craft more items to unlock more stages. Farming for 100 million credits is excruciatingly boring. Whoever put that achievement in the game, I hope a poopy covered pp rams your butthole

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Steam deck compatible my ass, the game offers 0 graphical tweaks no wider resolution variety, controller doesn"t work out of the box yet somehow this games platinum on proton and verified here. Play games from this series that actually work and aren't a slog like VII, Game Maker or Neptunia x Senran. the trilogy story is bad and nonsensical to begin with.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It's a good time. Defo suffers from bad early game, and grindy at times, but it's a charming time, and you can get some good fun out of the combat and so. Don't expect something incredible, but with the price of admision, specially on sales, this is worth trying. Known side effects: you will develop brainrot towards either Neptune, Noire, Vert or Blanc (I did with Vert).

The money you pay isn't much, but the amount of braincells you lose there is huge Let's start off with the trump card. Keyboard+mouse controls are dead. You'll have to remap all buttons and memorize everything, because the game always shows controller buttons. That may sound bad, but it's even worse actually The story…

Not my thing... but somehow I liked it. Story? Not Oscar-worthy, but the True Ending hit different. Fanservice? Cheeky, innocent, and blessed. Grinding? Yes. Too much. My soul is still in the dungeon. 10/10 would simp for Noire again. Please remaster this with modern graphics and take my money. 🩵 CPU Noire forever 🕒 \~\[51.8] hours of waifu worship so far...

It is LITERALLY UNPLAYABLE on a controller despite what the store page says.
