Our take on Hyperdimension Neptunia U: Action Unleashed
The presentation puts major emphasis on 1080p visuals, character switching, and flashy combo combat. The actual structure remains a mission-based hack-and-slash campaign, with Costume Break functioning as a combat modifier rather than only a visual effect.
What is Hyperdimension Neptunia U: Action Unleashed?
Set in Gamindustri during an unusual period of peace, the game follows Neptunia characters through missions created by journalists Dengekiko and Famitsu.
Combat takes place in free-roaming stages against waves of enemies, with attacks chained across the ground and through the air. A two-character team can be formed before battle, and control can switch between the pair to combine different strengths. Taking damage can trigger Costume Break, which lowers defense while raising attack chance and the EXE Drive Gauge. Filling that gauge grants access to two levels of special attacks, including joint moves with an assisting character. The game presents an action-focused hack-and-slash campaign with playable characters from the Neptunia setting.
