And there’s nothing inherently wrong with it, but like any game like this, it gets old before too long. It won’t even take off one full bar of a multi-life-bar boss.īasically, yeah. For bosses, you’ll want to try and build up their ”Break” meter by mostly spamming your shuriken/kunai to get them into a stagger state, where you can dole out a lot of punishment without the threat of retaliation.įinally, generally once or twice per area, your girls will get a super attack which looks super cool but is almost always completely underwhelming. You can also-and I frequently forgot about this-activate your own temporary buffs which only have so many uses per mission. You have “stamina bars” which refill over time and are used to unleash four different special attacks (Ninja Arts) which can be strung together in certain ways to provide buffs, debuffs, or status effects. You’ll pick two characters (who you can freely switch between in the field) and then press the Y button a lot to perform attack combos, occasionally tapping the X button to throw shuriken or kunai, block enemy attacks with A, and dash away from unblockable attacks with ZR. That’s basically what Nep X Senran is, with more complex maps. Oh, you mean the Tamsoft-developed Neptunia hack & slash game for Vita (and later Steam)? Both fit into the Nep-Nep cast more than the Senran cast, but both are fun to play as.ĭid you play Hyperdimension Neptunia U: Action Unleashed? Meanwhile, there are two new characters: Yuki, the resident catgirl, and Goh the Crow, an amnesiac ninja. There are no other Senran characters in the game, even as character portraits. Yes, but only by virtue of being one of the Senran series’ leads (along with Asuka, Homura, and Miyabi). Is Shiki one of the Senran girls? You know, the actual Best Girl? To me, as somebody who prefers the Senran series to the Nep-Nep games, this was a disappointment.
The Senran Kagura contribution is woefully thin on the ground. The plot, menus, new characters, quests, environments, and several gameplay aspects are straight out of Neptunia. First of all, as I said in my preview, Nep X Senran is a Neptunia game that co-stars four of the Senran Kagura girls. And I’m thrilled to say it’s exactly what it says on the tin, but nothing more. But yes, I’ve been playing Neptunia X Senran Kagura, which I’ve really been looking forward to since the announcement of a Switch port.
I was really hoping you meant spring, because this has been the longest winter in recent memory. Wasn’t this one of your most hotly-anticipated games of 2022? I’m talking about Neptunia X Senran Kagura: Ninja Wars. As the protagonist of this format, I think Neptune would approve (that’s a Neptunia joke). As is now tradition, I’ll be covering this anime crossover game in the Review FAQ format.
