Critic Reviews
- Super Neptunia RPG negates the positives that it brings about. The fresh perspective that comes from being a classic 2D RPG with a simple battle system clashes with the unintuitive and unresponsive platforming. The presentation is beautiful, but the performance is hampered when compared to its predecessors. The ability to explore also seems nice until you realize that the streamlined side-quest system has been replaced with the more time-consuming method of visiting each quest-giver individually. Fans of the series may still enjoy it.
Cody Medellin · Oct 11, 2019 Reviewed on SwitchRead full review - Unresponsive and loaded with framerate issues, Super Neptunia RPG isn't for anyone other than hardcore Hyperdimension fans who desperately need something to play until the next mainline installment comes jiggling downline the assembly line.
Todd Rigney · Jul 02, 2019 Reviewed on SwitchRead full review - Super Neptunia RPG is what untapped potential looks like. It has the capacity to be the best Neptunia spin-off to date, but is marred by so many gameplay-related issues and bugs that they often overshadow everything that the game does successfully. Like a lustrous Share Crystal, it’s beauty will shine through if all the dirt and grime is wiped off first. The only question is whether the polish Compile Heart and Artisan Studios applies will be enough.
Jelani James · Jun 28, 2019 Reviewed on PS4Read full review - The platforming, combat and quests have all been done much better by many other games and while the game references are cute and marginally unexpected, they aren’t enough to balance the scales in Super Neptunia RPG’s favor.
Mark Steighner · Jun 27, 2019 Reviewed on PS4 - A welcome addition to the Hyper Neptunia series, Super Neptunia RPG is a charming game that never really feels overwhelming. It’s the perfect game for pick-up and play sessions, offering a relaxing JRPG experience that has just enough meat on its bones to feel challenging without ever becoming frustrating.
SebastiaanRaats · Jun 25, 2019 Reviewed on SwitchRead full review - A game with kind of “spark” that, for some reason or another, manages to help the good outshine the bad. But I just couldn’t find that spark with Super Neptunia RPG. Not wanting to play a game that I have to review isn’t anything new, but it legitimately made me sad that I had genuinely had to talk myself into playing this game before picking up my Switch. If you like the Neptunia series, then I don’t think that it would be a bad idea to check this game out. Just keep in mind that Neptune’s latest adventure, sadly, isn’t her greatest. And if you aren’t a fan of the series, then this probably isn’t the time to try getting into it.
Kenny McKee · Jun 24, 2019 Reviewed on SwitchRead full review - Super Neptunia RPG is a fun little game but leaves a lot more to be desired. I could see a sequel full of potential, but at its current state with all the technical hiccups, it really boils down to you being a Neptunia fan or not. The game lacks enough polish for it to be a great game, but perhaps a sequel down in the line or even using a fresh IP without Neptunia holding it back can make room for a more interesting project.
Chao Min Wu · Jun 19, 2019 Reviewed on SwitchRead full review - Super Neptunia RPG makes an earnest attempt at shaking up the formula of the Neptunia series. Unfortunately, major technical issues bog this game down at every turn, and even if they were fixed, the drawn out story and over-simplified combat would fail to equate to an enjoyable game. Super fans of the Neptunia series might find something worthwhile in this experience, but it's sure to be buried under ten tons of headache and frustration.
Miguel Moran · Oct 03, 2019 Reviewed on PS4Read full review - All in all, Super Neptunia RPG is a fun game, but it’s marred by some poor design choices. It’s absolutely gorgeous to look at, the voice acting is great, the music is really nice and the gameplay has a lot of nice touches. If you’re a fan of the series, or are looking for a beautiful metroidvania with a twist, then you can’t go wrong with this.
Andrew Duncan · Jul 03, 2019 Reviewed on SwitchRead full review - So do you like it? Yeah, it’s a cute RPG that’s not super demanding and can easily be played while you watch TV or lie in bed. There are a few places where it’s not super clear what you’re supposed to do next (find all the Mysterious Grasses before visiting the fairgrounds, kids, and those Grasses are all in the Twin Mountains) but overall it’s pretty straightforward.
