Hyperdimension Neptunia Victory Review (PS3)

When I started playing Hyperdimension Neptunia Victory, I wasn’t expecting it to be great, but I wasn’t expecting how awful it would actually end up being. Hyperdimension Neptunia Victory is a JRPG with a story that is a very satirical and loose interpretation on the console wars, with tons of boob jokes thrown in for good measure. Characters lead realms within the game world that represent each…

  • Battle system is salvageable
  • Semi-intriguing overarching story
  • Improves over time as elements are added to the battle system
  • Annoyingly shallow characters
  • Feels like a last-gen remake
  • Too much unnecessary juvenile/sexual dialog
  • Too many 'cutscenes' and menus
  • Lack of variety across the audio and visual assets
  • Takes 15-20 hours to add in enough elements for a deep battle system
