Despite being a fairly long-running series, I don?t believe I have ever crossed paths with a Neptunia game before, but having played through Neptunia: Sisters vs. Sisters, I don?t think I?ve been missing much. Everything about my time with Neptunia: Sisters vs. Sisters was absolutely mundane, and while largely inoffensive, it?s not an experience I?d care to repeat any time soon. I?m sure this series has its fans, and perhaps some of the earlier games have been of a higher caliber than this, but as someone new to the series I can safely say you?re not missing out if you continue to skip the Neptunia series with this latest release.
As Nepgear, you?ll put together a three-character party and be tasked with exploring the various regions of Gamindustri which is split into a number of different areas. Each area has a few branching paths, fast travel points, and various monsters to battle. Neptunia: Sisters vs. Sisters is an action RPG, so no turn-based battles, instead you?ll have direct command over one character while being able to switch between other party members on the fly. This ability to switch party members plays heavily into combat encounters, and chaining together multiple party members can increase your overall damage output during a fight.
Likewise, nothing about the music, visuals, or story really stood out either. Everything works, and the dialogue is no worse than I?d expect out of this type of fan-service game, but it doesn?t really shine in any particular way either. I cannot overstate how bland I found Neptunia: Sisters vs. Sisters to be, I was actually pretty surprised by how bored I found myself hour after hour. I can safely say that you?d be fine avoiding this one, and if you?re a fan of the series, you?d probably still do well to steer clear of this entry.
