Michael Engle: I want to preface this review by saying that if you like old-school RPG's, anime, and giant boobs, then Hyperdimension Neptunia Victory is for you. Niche games are niche, but I have to admit that this game speaks to the fourteen-year-old in all of us that felt that guilty tingle in their pants every time they watched Sailor Moon. This game is full of self-aware video game references and is very Japanese. Have I sparked your interested yet? If so, let's take a trip to Gameindustri and log into the third installment of this JRPG franchise.
Gary Green said: The concept for a good sequel is not a complicated thing. You take your original idea and expand on the lore, then you fix anything that was broken the first time around. You might want to introduce some new features too; This is fine so long as you don’t go overboard, and you don’t change the overall flow of the game. Hyperdimension Neptunia Victory ticks all of these boxes, so surely then it should be the perfect package? Well, almost. It really is rather good.
Michibiku's Jenni Lada writes, "Hyperdimension Neptunia is huge. It’s a massive series that covers tons of games, all of which are sort of connected? Though also not really, because quite a few are spin-offs and non-canon. It’s a lot to take in, to be sure. With Megadimension Neptunia VII on the horizon, we here at Michibiku felt like we should offer an overview of the main series’ installments."
