Our take on Neptunia Virtual Stars
The game combines combat with rhythm performances and collectible unlocks, so its action loop shares space with side activities. That variety comes at the cost of a narrowly focused hack-and-slash structure: players seeking uninterrupted combat may find the rhythm and performance systems a detour.
What is Neptunia Virtual Stars?
Neptune, Noire, Blanc, and Vert join MEWTRAL members Me and You to defend Planet Emote from the Antis in a digital world called Virtualand.
Battles use hack-and-slash combat, with quick combos, map traversal, and the ability to switch between four Goddesses and playable VTubers. The BeatTik rhythm game lets characters dance to tracks; recorded performances can be used in Video Battler to unlock items, songs, and dance moves. Emotional Overdrive is a special attack activated by filling the Emote Gauge, and can bring extra loot. Players can also find and rescue VTubers scattered through Virtualand. Rescued VTubers provide support powers through the Guest Connect System.
