Neptunia ReVerse Game Cover
Neptunia ReVerse fails to justify itself as a new update, a PS5 exclusive, and lacks an engaging core experience. Existing fans have little reason to upgrade from Re;Birth 1, and non-fans won't see anything worth converting for.

Neptunia re★Verse (Go!Go!5次元GAME ネプテューヌ re★Verse, Go! Go! 5 Jigen Game Neptune: re★Verse) is a definitive remake of Hyperdimension Neptunia Re;Birth1 coinciding with the 10th anniversary of the Hyperdimension Neptunia series and the series' first title on the PlayStation 5.

    The graphics in the game are an incremental improvement over previous titles in the Neptunia series, featuring slightly enhanced visuals and more characters on screen. However, some users find the overall aesthetic to be rather bland and not a significant leap forward, with a desire for additional content like a museum feature.

  • gameplay3 mentions

    The gameplay features traditional turn-based mechanics enhanced by unique elements, offering a mode with immediate access to 21 characters, which is highly recommended. It builds on the gameplay of Hyperdimension Neptunia Re;Birth 1, significantly improving balance and user interface.

    • “Gameplay is your traditional turn-based gameplay with a few unique elements to it, and in this game, there's a mode where you have access to 21 characters right from the start. I highly recommend playing this mode.”

  • grinding2 mentions

    Players find the grinding in the game to be excessive and unfulfilling, often feeling that it detracts from the overall experience due to its repetitiveness and lack of depth in both the plot and combat systems. Additionally, there are calls for more engaging content and updates to alleviate the grind.

    • “Grinding is required to progress at times, and the graphics aren't a massive step up. I wish there was museum-style content.”
    • “Unyielding repetitiveness, lack of effort to update the existing game, shallow and repetitive plot, complete lack of depth to combat, grindy and unrewarding subsystems.”
  • character development1 mentions

    Character development in the game remains appealing after a decade, with a new user interface enhancing the experience. Players appreciate the charming character designs that reflect their console and developer origins, while the variety of costumes and accessories provides enjoyable visual customization options.

    • “The character development is still appealing a decade later, with a new UI that enhances the experience. Some character designs are charming reflections of their console and developer, and the costumes and accessories offer fun visual customization.”
