Certain weapons, characters and positions allow characters to maximize damage. Since characters can move anywhere within their circle, positioning their area of attack, represented by a box, is extremely important. Most fights come down to positioning and tactics. Enemies can be engaged, with an early attack giving you an advantage, though missing will result in enemies having an advantage. After entering a dungeon, enemies will be wondering around, with collectibles, hidden things and more. Gameplay is pretty straightforward as well. Key locations include things like a shop, dungeons lead to gameplay and chats give jokes, unlocks, free items and more. There is a home screen that has key locations, dungeons and optional chats.

Those familiar with the more recent Neptunia titles should have a pretty good idea how Neptunia ReVerse plays. This can make it hard for fans of the later games, though it still tries to stand out in its own way. Through this adventure the characters will grow more friendly, Neptune will discover things like a love of pudding, though it isn’t so off the way Neptune becomes a motorcycle. Instead of being a silly game where each character does their signature joke, Neptunia ReVerse had the four goddesses at odds. Since Neptunia ReVerse is an enhanced port of a remake of the first game, it might surprise a number of fans. Neptunia ReVerse brings the title back for players to enjoy on a new platform, but is it worth revisiting?

Instead of just porting the game, a new game was built around the stuff that worked, which was better received. This made Hyperdimension Neptunia Re Birth 1 so welcome. It was a mess that wasn’t just unenjoyable to play, without the references it offered nothing. It was sold as a meta heavy love letter to the game industry that had some commentary about issues like piracy. The original game was a rather novel concept.

Hyperdimension Neptunia is a great example of a lot of things, like the value of remakes, the importance of giving a series a chance and learning from your mistakes.
