Over the years, Neptunia went from a rather generic RPG with a gimmick to a game with distinct characters, locations, enemies and story. The latest spin off turns the traditionally 3D RPG into a 2D one. With the characters you know and love, silly character interactions and everyone’s favorite...
One of the most interesting gaming genres is MMORPGs, as they have their own lingo, culture and community behind them. Even if you’re never played WoW or even ESO, it’s something Destiny fans have been introduced to and love. So, after fighting for people to embrace gaming, piracy, Sega’s...
Like a lot of RPGs, Megadimension Neptunia VII has a number of endings that you can unlock by either doing or failing to do certain things. These can range from getting a certain amount of shares to simply missing a certain event. What makes Megadimension Neptunia VII so tricky is, with the...

When Neptunia originally released, it was a mediocre RPG that treated its premise like a gimmick and was trying especially hard to sell its core premise. Since those humble beginnings Neptunia has gained some popularity, along with improving pretty much every aspect of the game. Now that we have...

For the most part, you can complete Neptunia Re;Birth and Re;Birth 2 by simply buying better equipment and spamming random attacks. But when you face some of the later bosses in the colosseum, you might be surprised to learn you won’t be successful with this tactic. Thankfully all hope is not...
As I mentioned in my review of Neptunia Re;Birth 2, I had a lot of issues figuring out where to find a number of materials needed to make the various plans in the game. Since most of them require things like the True End, unlocking a dungeon or plan I didn’t even know existed, I made a quick...

Back when Neptunia originally released, it was something of gaming's equivalent of a B movie. There were a lot of interesting ideas, such as making an RPG devoted to the game industry, but the final product was a mess. Between the terrible game design, poor graphics, weak story and more, it’s...
