At the time this was a pretty funny premise, and that helped Neptunia catch on and become a series. What follows is a string of fairly dated videogame jokes strung together with some turn-based JRPG dungeon-crawling. Neptune is defeated thanks to the evil personification of game piracy (brilliantly localized as Arfoire), loses her memory and goes on wacky adventures with her new Friends Compa and IF. The first game’s premise is four goddesses fighting over control of a land called “Gamindustri.” Each goddess is a personification of all the major consoles at the time, along with… the Sega Neptune for some reason (Sega was part of the game’s distribution in Japan)? Neptunia has kind of always been a dopey series poking fun at itself and things like gamers and otaku culture. What makes a game stick around like this? Well, it seems complicated.
#Neptunia reverse trailer Ps4
In some form or another, this game has appeared on PS3, PC, PS Vita, PS4 and now the PS5.
Neptunia ReVerse is a remake of a remake, the fifth overall release of Hyperdimension Neptunia, a comedy/JRPG from Compile Heart and Idea Factory from 2010. The weird thing is how many times the first game popped back up. She asked me, “Have we really been doing this for ten years?” I laughed at her realization, that yes, ever since I started my writing journey, Neptunia was around in some form or another. As I booted up Neptunia ReVerse and the 10th Anniversary logo faded onto the screen, my wife was shocked.
