Megadimension Neptunia VIIR Review
As tends to be the case with the franchise, Megadimension Neptunia VIIR makes for a solid entry in the series for pre-existing fans, but may alienate newcomers expecting a more engaging battle system or plot. The script's humour certainly does a good job at keeping the cast mostly likeable, and the references directed at the games industry is charming enough, yet nothing ever truly comes together to deliver a gripping narrative, satirical or not. Battles are conceptually interesting thanks to the new mechanics, along with an emphasis placed on character placement, which works quite well for boss fights, but starts to lose its lustre in smaller scale battles. Megadimension Neptunia VIIR isn't a bad RPG, but a slow battle system and a focus on grinding hardly make it a great one.
