There’s also the fact that the outlandish nature of many of the enemies you’re up against makes it hard to anticipate their attacks. But the lock-on system itself can be awkward to use. Using Ninja Art Skills can also be troublesome at times, with them targeting random enemies unless you lock-on first.
You can zoom it out a little in the settings, but it doesn’t help a great deal. The camera, for example, often feels like it’s working against you, obscuring enemies readying up ranged attacks. All the ingredients are there, but they just don’t feel fine-tuned enough to be any more than simply entertaining. Each character has a Shinobi Extreme attack, too, that can be used when a gauge is full, while a system called Fuurinkazan Drive allows you to power up your character momentarily, capitalising on the power of fire, wind, forest or mountain.Īs you’d probably expect, the combat isn’t going to wow you, though. You have access to a wide range of attacks including fancy Ninja Art Skills which can be chained for greater effect, and both kunai and shuriken to attack at range. Instead, the combat is familiar to that of the Senran Kagura series, in that it’s real-time and action-packed. You essentially traipse through fields like you would any normal Neptunia game, only this time there are no turn-based battles. The actual gameplay of Neptunia x Senran Kagura: Ninja Wars is entertaining enough when you do get to it, however. I just want to slice and dice enemies and power up my characters. It’s amazing how long they can drag out what eventually boils down to “I need you to go here and do this.” This is an action game, after all. started one of their long-winded conversations I’d be sorely tempted to. I’m not one to skip text, but every time Neptune and co. I tried to, but the dialogue is generally asinine, filled with gags that never hit the mark. “The enemy of my enemy is my friend”, and all that.Ĭhances are though, that you won’t care one jot for Neptunia x Senran Kagura: Ninja Wars‘ story. A new force called the Steeme Legion has invaded, you see, and its might forces the two warring nations to work together. They’ve been battling for control of Gamninjustri (see what they did there?) for a while now, but that’s all about to change. And on the Senran Kagura side there’s Asuka, Homura, Yumi and Miyabi. So, from the Neptunia series you have Neptune, Noire, Blanc and Vert.
Neptunia x Senran Kagura: Ninja Wars finds the four goddesses of Heartland warring against the four shinobi of Marveland. The worlds of Neptunia and Senran Kagura collide, and the result is exactly what you’d expect.
