PSLS:
I want to admit right from the beginning that I haven’t always been the biggest fan of the Neptunia series of games. I often find them full of useless fluff and lacking a lot of depth to their games. Hyperdimension Neptunia U: Action Unleashed doesn’t do a lot to quell my need for more depth. What it does do though, is take out a lot of the needless banter and allow you to just kick the hell out of everything in sight. It’s not an overly great game, but this is the direction I think this series needs to go to be a better franchise.
VGChartz's Adam Cartwright: "Console wars have been around pretty much since the dawn of videogames, but the Hyperdimension Neptunia series makes light of these arguments by personifying consoles and their manufacturers as cute goddesses and has them battle it out for supremacy. It proved to be a sleeper hit for publisher Compile Heart, who after an initially shaky start with the first entry transformed the series into its most compelling franchise."
Idea Factory’s games are so often full of life, exploding user screens with vibrant color, beautiful art, memorable characters and addictive gameplay. Unfortunately, Hyperdimension Neptunia U: Action Unleashed does little justice to the Neptunia franchise.
SG Gaming Info writes: "Hyperdimension Neptunia U: Action Unleashed is a rather boring brawler title. While the game retains the franchise’s humour the combat gets boring quickly and the story isn’t that interesting."
