The story of the game is generally perceived as lighthearted and humorous, featuring a campy plot centered around a zombie film being made by the characters, but it suffers from a lack of depth and coherence. Many players found the narrative to be short and repetitive, with missions often lasting only a minute or two, leading to a feeling of disconnection between the story and gameplay. While some appreciated the comedic elements and character interactions, others criticized the overall execution, deeming it forgettable and lacking the engaging qualities of previous entries in the series.
- “The story is funny and the characters are true to the franchise.”
- “I enjoyed this one, as the spiritual successor to Action U. I personally enjoyed Action U a bit more gameplay-wise, but I enjoyed this one more story-wise; it was cheesy but it was good fun.”
- “The story can be whimsical but it is fun seeing them get up to their old antics.”
- “The story is so short and also very silly.”
- “I won't even talk about the story because it's forgettable.”
- “The story mode is extremely linear, neptunia u at least had some side missions to play between advancing the boring story, to make it worse all missions are on the same tiny maps over and over again, they are very short like 2-5 minutes each, the AI is dumb.”

The gameplay of this title is a mixed bag, with many players finding it enjoyable yet shallow, often relying on button-mashing and lacking depth compared to other action RPGs. While some appreciate the character interactions and mechanics, others criticize the clunky controls, long loading times, and repetitive gameplay loop, suggesting it serves more as a time-waster than a compelling experience. Overall, it appeals primarily to fans of the Neptunia series, but many recommend waiting for a sale due to its limited content and execution.
- “The gameplay of this Tamsoft game carries an action RPG style that utilizes the evade and block functions.”
- “Each character has unique fighting mechanics executed in a hack & slash style game with special skills and transform to EXE ability.”
- “I really enjoy the mechanics of the improved combat system!”
- “The gameplay is very easy and very shallow, even compared to Senran Kagura.”
- “I have never been so instantly turned off by a game's combat and overall gameplay loop.”
- “Same content as always, and the gameplay is bland, boring, and too easy; there is no threat nor any challenge in this game, plus it is very short.”

The humor in the game is a mixed bag, with many players appreciating the light-hearted and often silly dialogue typical of the Neptunia series, while others found the writing cringeworthy and lacking in quality compared to previous titles. The multiplayer aspect adds to the fun, but some players felt that the humor didn't land as effectively, with a few moments being genuinely funny amidst a backdrop of less engaging content. Overall, fans of the franchise may enjoy the comedic elements, but opinions vary widely on its execution.
- “The story is funny and the characters are true to the franchise.”
- “The plot is so funny to me, it's centered around 'it's so bad that I love it' and it's great.”
- “The story and humor of the characters are the things that bring the fun in this game.”
- “I get that the story in most games tends to be more on the comedy side, however this story was not funny (in my opinion).”
- “I have played through the remake of the original game offered here on Steam, and while it offered a lot of charm and parody to a bunch of embarrassing moe fan service, this only offers fan service as the story is not funny (outside of a scene involving Blanc humiliating Noire over an embarrassing YouTube video, the game is simply not funny).”

The graphics in this game receive mixed reviews, with many praising the character designs and the improved resolution of live2D scenes, now at 1080p. While the game can run smoothly on low-end hardware and offers 4K support, some players note bland scenery and technical issues, such as limited graphics options and fullscreen problems. Overall, the visuals are considered decent for a port, but not the main draw of the game.
- “The characters of this game are quite good and are covered with typical Neptunia graphics whose quality is beyond doubt.”
- “But overall, the graphics are nicer than in Action Unleashed, and the Live2D scenes are 1080p this time around instead of 720p.”
- “And voila, great game with 4K smooth graphics.”
- “The graphics are ok when it comes to the playable characters, but the scenery is way too bland.”
- “It's a fresh release, so I suppose it's to be expected, but when I switch to full screen and everything goes black, I can't recommend this game.”
- “First off, the game could run on a potato; mind you, if your graphics card is bad, the intro can be a little laggy and/or crashy, but only the intro screen.”

The game's stability has been widely criticized, with numerous reports of crashes, freezes, and bugs, particularly in the multiplayer mode. Players have experienced issues such as black screens, unresponsive gameplay, and difficulties with screen resolution settings. While some updates have improved performance, many still find the game poorly optimized and frustrating to play.
- “And it runs great on a potato PC.”
- “Its a great game if you can get past the crashes that can happen if the PC goes to sleep. The game crashes when changing to full screen; as far as I got was borderless full screen and it did okay. It's buggy in that way, but it's a great game. I highly recommend it on the Vita; the PC version isn't all that stable, but once you make it in the game, it'll lock at 60. However, getting there is an issue; you will have black screens on the start. If you hear noise, right-click one and you'll make it without a crash.”
- “Unlike the other installments which actually had good classic JRPG combat, this game has been poorly developed (possibly due to new developers on hand, Tamsoft?). It's unoptimized and confusing, not to mention the various crashes and bugs. I've actually spent 80% of my game time troubleshooting various problems and doing the developers' job for them.”
- “The game stutters, freezes, and crashes. Do not buy it.”

The music in the game has received mixed reviews, with some praising the enjoyable soundtrack and its fitting themes, particularly in relation to the zombie genre. While many appreciate the remixes of previous tracks and the overall quality, others find the soundtrack to be mediocre and lacking memorable compositions compared to earlier titles in the series. Overall, the music is seen as fun and well-crafted, but not groundbreaking or universally appealing.
- “Its fun to play and has awesome music, but definitely not for everyone.”
- “Cute girls played by talented voice actresses and an enjoyable soundtrack too!”
- “Great graphics, amazing soundtrack, where's the game?”
- “Music isn't groundbreaking.”
- “The soundtrack is mediocre at best; you might just want to put something else to play on Spotify.”
- “Soundtrack and almost all scenarios are basically a copy-paste from the other games.”
grinding

The grinding aspect of the game has received mixed reviews, with many players finding it tedious and repetitive, particularly when farming for specific treasure drops or leveling up. While some appreciate the classic Neptunia series value and the options for online character grinding, others criticize the slow combat and lack of engaging content, leading to a frustrating experience. Overall, grinding is a significant part of the game, often overshadowing the enjoyment of the main story and gameplay.
- “The combat is annoying and tedious, most characters are super slow (which beats the whole purpose of a hack n slash game). Skills are practically ineffective, quests don't give enough XP to efficiently level up (by the time I finished the game I was level 27, with the max being 99, and the final boss being recommended for levels 40+). Customization is pretty bland, and there's no CG gallery, which is quite surprising and disappointing, seeing as you need special criteria to unlock and view certain cutscenes.”
- “The only honest complaints I have about it are the farming required for some of the treasure items, which gets repetitive when you only need 1 item that drops from 1 boss and wind up doing that boss 50 times.”
- “The close-to non-existent challenge, the tedious grind-fest, and the boring fan-service story would put off anyone else.”

The game's optimization has received significant criticism, with many players reporting numerous bugs, crashes, and long loading times, particularly on PC. While some users noted that it runs smoothly on older hardware, the overall experience is marred by poorly optimized controls, especially for keyboard and mouse users, and a lack of polish attributed to new developers. Many players found the optimization issues unacceptable, leading to refunds and frustration.
- “The only issue I have is that the game's controls aren't optimized too well if you're using a keyboard and mouse, but with a controller it's fine.”
- “Refunded this game because it is poorly optimized for PC.”
- “Not only is the game buggy and very badly optimized, loading times are a pain, but the game itself is just copy/paste from every Neptune game ever.”
- “It’s terribly optimized for PC considering the wrong game engine it uses and how poorly detailed the controls work.”
- “I know the system requirements say that the game may not run well on AMD processors, but this lack of optimization is just plain unacceptable.”

emotional

The emotional aspect of the game is largely criticized for its linear and repetitive story mode, which lacks depth and engagement. Players find the short missions unfulfilling and the AI uninspiring, contributing to an overall sense of boredom rather than emotional investment.
- “The story mode is extremely linear; Neptunia U at least had some side missions to play between advancing the boring story. To make it worse, all missions are on the same tiny maps over and over again. They are very short, like 2-5 minutes each, and the AI is dumb.”
