Combat through five unique stages and bosses based on the Gamindustri Nations. Blast through fast-moving obstacles and even fight some familiar Neptunia enemies and bosses! And if you gather enough coins on each stage, a friend will assist you with attacks. Older Neptune embarks on a new rail shooter adventure!

Summary

I have played many Neptunia games over the years, granted they are all the JRPG ones but still, playing this was a breath of fresh air. It plays just like Space Harrier and for those who don’t know that game it’s a shooter where you move around the screen but the level is on a kind of rolling road. It’s a weird choice but I found it more fun to play than Space Harrier it is a good-looking game. I booted it up just to see if I could gauge how much time it may take to clock, half-hour later and I got credits! It’s really short, almost punishingly so, it’s really fun to play but it is a throwaway budget experience. If you can get friends to do score-chasing then it will add some longevity but I didn’t and I never went back apart to try the harder difficulty. Overall I found it fun to play but ended before I could really take it all in.
