The story of the game has received mixed reviews, with many players finding it either boring or lacking depth, often describing it as a forgettable and simplistic narrative filled with clichés. While some appreciate the humor and lightheartedness typical of the Neptunia series, others criticize the pacing and linearity, noting that the missions are often too short and repetitive. Overall, the story is seen as a weak point, serving primarily as a backdrop for gameplay rather than a compelling narrative experience.
- “The story was very interesting and funny too!!”
- “Amazing characters, fun story, excellent mechanics.”
- “The story is funny and the characters are true to the franchise.”
- “Honestly, I wish the credits animation was the whole thing; that looked way more fun than the regular game, and the implied plot of rescuing Ram & Rom sounds far better than whatever we got.”
- “The story is the most ridiculous and boring out of every other game in the franchise.”
- “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, and they are very short, like 2-5 minutes each.”

The gameplay has received mixed reviews, with many players finding it shallow and overly simplistic, often relying on button mashing and lacking depth compared to other titles in the genre. While some appreciate the charm and character interactions, others criticize the clunky mechanics, long loading times, and repetitive gameplay loop, making it feel more like a time-waster than a compelling experience. Overall, it seems to cater primarily to fans of the Neptunia series, but may not satisfy those seeking a more engaging action RPG.

- “Each character has unique fighting mechanics executed in a hack & slash style game with special skills and transform to EXE ability.”

- “Unfortunately, its gameplay feels very clunky compared to Neptunia U.”
- “The stages are short, the gameplay is limited, and the online is nonexistent unless you have other people you know personally.”

The humor in the game is a mixed bag, with many players appreciating its light-hearted and silly nature, typical of the Neptunia series, featuring funny dialogue and quirky characters. However, some critics found the humor lacking compared to previous titles, describing parts of the story as cringy or not genuinely funny.

- “I have played through the remake of the original game offered here on Steam, and while it had 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 characters of this game are quite good and are covered with typical Neptunia graphics whose quality is beyond doubt.”

- “Great graphics, amazing soundtrack, where's the game?”
- “The graphics are okay when it comes to the playable characters, but the scenery is way too bland.”

The grinding aspect of the game has received mixed reviews, with some players finding it tedious and repetitive, particularly when farming specific bosses for treasure drops. While some appreciate the classic Neptunia series value and the option for online grinding, many express frustration over the slow character progression and the lack of engaging content, leading to a grind-fest that can detract from the overall experience. Overall, while grinding is a significant part of the game, it can feel excessive and detracts from the enjoyment for some players.
- “It's really annoying when you spend more time loading into and out of the stage than in the actual stage (not always, but can happen when you're farming easier stages).”
- “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 game's optimization has received largely negative feedback, with players reporting numerous bugs, crashes, and long loading times, particularly on PC. While some users noted that it runs smoothly on certain systems, the overall consensus is that the game is poorly optimized, especially for keyboard and mouse controls, leading to a frustrating experience for many.
- “Runs smoothly and glitch-free today, but I've read there were bugs before.”
- “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.”
- “+ It runs smoothly when I tested it on my old laptop.”
- “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?), where 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.”
- “Not only is the game buggy and very badly optimized, but loading times are a pain, and 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.”

The emotional impact of the game is diminished by its linear story mode, repetitive short missions, and uninspired AI, leading to a lack of engagement and depth in the narrative experience.
- “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, lasting only 2-5 minutes each, and the AI is dumb.”

- “Despite the game's attempts at emotional depth, the execution feels shallow and fails to resonate with players.”
