The game features fun and chaotic gameplay with a unique twist on collection mechanics, allowing players to enjoy a lighthearted experience.
The visuals are colorful and maintain the charming anime aesthetic of the Neptunia series, with smooth character animations and a catchy soundtrack.
Customization options for bikes and characters add a layer of personalization, enhancing the overall enjoyment for fans of the franchise.

The game is extremely short, with a playtime of only 2-3 hours, making it feel more like a mini-game than a full title, which is not justified by the price.
The lack of substantial content and replayability, along with repetitive stage design, leads to a feeling of disappointment for players expecting a deeper experience.
Many players feel the game is overpriced for the amount of content provided, suggesting it should be purchased only during significant sales.

The gameplay is a blend of racing, light combat, and creature-gathering mechanics, offering a whimsical yet repetitive experience that may appeal more to dedicated fans of the franchise than newcomers. While the controls are responsive and the mechanics are straightforward, the lack of depth and significant evolution in gameplay elements can lead to a sense of monotony, especially given the short playtime of around 5 hours. Overall, it provides a fun, if shallow, experience that feels more like an experimental side project than a fully fleshed-out title.
- “It blends racing, light combat, and creature-gathering mechanics into a compact action experience that feels more like an experimental side project than a mainline entry, yet it retains the charm and personality fans associate with the franchise.”
- “The core gameplay is a race where characters collect dogoos, slimes, and the first team that reaches a specified number wins.”
- “Though the game doesn’t aim for depth, it delivers tight mechanics wrapped in slick fanservice and polished visuals.”
- “However, the combat remains relatively simple, serving more as a supporting mechanic than a central focus.”
- “The number of stages and playable characters provides a few hours of focused gameplay, but repetition becomes noticeable as objectives remain largely consistent across levels.”
- “The actual gameplay is fine; the bikes are responsive enough and are fun enough to control, but overall it just kind of lacks any real depth.”

The story in the game is generally viewed as simplistic and lacking depth, typical of the Neptunia series, with players noting its short length and minimal engagement. While it features the usual humor and character interactions that fans expect, many reviewers found it to be underwhelming and not particularly memorable, often describing it as "meh" or "just okay." Overall, the narrative serves more as a lighthearted backdrop to the gameplay rather than a compelling storyline.
- “Neptunia games are rarely particularly good, but the character banter and silly story generally carries them well enough to make them a worthwhile experience.”
- “The story is pure neptunia nonsense—uzume finds herself in a strange dimension overrun by dogoos, and her fellow goddesses have fallen under a spell that makes them obsessed with the little blobs.”
- “Story-wise, it’s classic neptunia nonsense: meta jokes, goofy hijinks, and your favorite goddesses getting weirdly obsessed with gelatinous monsters.”
- “Game was too short for me to even care about the story.”
- “The story is just okay; it's a simple story, not anything serious at all.”
- “The game is literally empty after the story, a story which is literally nonexistent.”

Overall, the game's replayability is considered low due to its short length and limited content, with many players feeling that it lacks sufficient incentive to revisit after completing it. While some customization options and distinct playable characters offer a degree of variety, the general consensus is that the game is best enjoyed at a discounted price.
- “Playable characters actually feel different – adds replay value and choice.”
- “Customization and replayability.”
- “If you're not getting 100% achievements, I think you'd finish the game in around 1-2 hours... I can't believe they're charging that much for a game with this little content and replay value.”
- “Neptunia Riders vs Dogoo is a game that I am recommending but at a heavy discount. It's a fun game, very casual with some good ideas, but it's extremely short with little to no replayability. After clearing every track multiple times for the challenges and collecting every Dogoo type, I have only traveled 137km, so yeah, I'm gonna be mega generous and say this is a £20 game at most.”
- “This game is just way too short and not really replayable.”
