Brave Neptunia gets a new name for the west.

Idea Factory International will release Super Neptunia RPG, known as Brave Neptunia: World! Universe! Pay Attention!! Ultimate RPG Declaration!! in Japan, for PlayStation 4 and Switch in North America and Europe this fall.



The game will have Japanese and English voice-over options, as well as English and French subtitle options.




In Japan, Super Neptunia RPG is due out for PlayStation 4 on September 27. In Korea, the game will release for both PlayStation 4 and Switch on the same date.




Developed by the Quebec-based Artisan Studios, Super Neptunia RPG brings the characters of the Neptunia series into the world of a side-scrolling RPG. Each character was hand-drawn by series character designer Tsunako, then animated by computers. Players will explore side-scrolling dungeons and fight in turn-based battles.
Here is an overview of the game, via Idea Factory International:​

Story

In a world where 2D games reign supreme, an organization called Bombyx Mori forces its citizens to churn out 2D games as offerings to their leader. Those who dare to use new technologies or whose games don’t meet their standards risk banishment to the soul-crushing Trial Grounds.
A girl awakens in this world with no recollection of anything beyond her name, Neptune, and soon realizes she possesses great strength. With her newfound sense of heroism and a strange book known as Histoire in hand, she sets off on a journey to see if there might be more than this two-dimensional life.
Key Features

​

• 
  
  
  • Old School Dungeons! – Explore gorgeously painted, interactive dungeons in a style inspired by classic gaming titles.
  • Follow the Leader! – Enter turn-based battles where the party’s attack style changes based on the battle leader. Switch leaders on the fly, transform mid-battle, and use elemental attacks to maximize your team’s strategy!
  • Save Gamindustri! – In a time where retro gaming and 3D graphics are at polar ends, this story delves headfirst into the debate for a self-aware ribbing of gaming culture.

The dungeon exploration parts are done in side-scrolling fashion, but the battles start with symbol encounters when you touch an enemy in the field. You’ll get to smack enemies first to start out with the advantage. Once the battle starts, you’ll notice how there’s a button that corresponds to all four of your party members, similar to Valkyrie Profile.

Super Neptunia RPG details skills, abilities
Published 3 days ago. 30 comments.

Learn skills and abilities by equipping items.
Compile Heart has updated the official website for Super Neptunia RPG with information and screenshots on the game’s skill and ability systems.

Get the details below.

■ Skills

Skills

Skills are attack techniques that can be used by characters for each formation. You can use skills by equipping items that grant skills or learning a skill itself.

By equipping an item that grants a skill, you will be able to use that skill. The more you battle and win, the more experience points that equipped item will gain, and when you meet a certain value, you will be able to learn that skill and set it without having the item equipped.

Skills granted by the “Wooden Sword” include:

• Area Edge – Deals physical damage to all enemies.
• Mytra – Deals unattributed magic damage to all enemies.
• Drain Edge – Deals physical damage to one enemies and recovers five percent of maximum HP.

Skill Set

In order to use skills in battle, it is necessary to set them in advance. The skills you can set vary depending on the formation.

• (1) Selected Character (the character whose skills you wish to modify) – You can switch between characters with the L1 and R1 buttons.
• (2) Formation
• (3) Skills set for the chosen character
• (4) Skills that can be used in each formation
• (5) Skill details

The skills that can be set for each formation have already been decided.

—Strike Formation

The skills that can be set for the Strike Formation are those that appear in this list.

—Magic Formation

The skills that can be set for the Magic Formation are those that appear in this list.

—A Rundown of the Formation Icons

Skills that can be used in the Strike Formation.

Skills that can be used in the Magic Formation.

Skills that can be used in the Heal Formation.

Skills that can be used in the Support Formation.

Skills that can be used in the Mix Formation.

■ Abilities

Abilities

Abilities can be used to power-up and support characters. Abilities are attached to equipment (weapons, armor, and accessories), and can be set by mastering that equipment or learning the ability.

—Some Examples of Abilities

• HP Bonus – Increases maximum HP by 10 percent.
• Darkness Prevention – Prevents darkness (which lowers your accuracy rate).
• Auto-Wall – Produces a wall at the start of battle (increases defense against physical attacks).

Ability Set

By spending “Ability Points,” you can set abilities. Ability Points will return to you when you remove an ability. Your Ability Points will increase as you level up.

By equipping an item that grants an ability, you can set that ability. The more you battle and win, the more experience points that equipped item will gain, and when you meet a certain value, you will be able to learn that ability and set it without having the item equipped.

Super Neptunia RPG is due out for PlayStation 4 on December 20 in Japan, and for PlayStation 4 and Switch in spring 2019 in North America and Europe.

Super Neptunia RPG details Magic Gems, Quests, and Hunt Quests
Published 1 day ago. 5 comments.

Take on Quests from NPCs and Hunt Quests from Guilds.

Compile Heart has updated the official website for Super Neptunia RPG with information and screenshots on the game’s Magic Gems, Quests, and Hunt Quests.

Get the details below.

■ System

◆ Magic Gems / Magic Gem Switches

Magic Gems / Magic Gem Switches

In towns and dungeons, “Magic Gems” and “Magic Gem Switches” are scattered about. By touching a Magic Gem, you can obtain it, and by examining a Magic Gem Switch, a challenge will begin.

Magic Gem Challenge

By examining a Magic Gem Switch, a Magic Gem will appear and a “challenge” will begin. If you obtain all of the Magic Gems within the time limit, you will clear the challenge and obtain a Magic Gem.

If you go over the time limit, the Magic Gems will disappear and you will fail the challenge. If you are unable to clear a challenge, you can always just try it again.

The Magic Gems you collect can be exchanged for equipment at NPCs in dungeons, so be sure to keep an eye out for them.

◆ Quests

Quests

You can receive Quests by talking to the NPCs in towns and dungeons.

In (1) in the the above example, the “!” mark indicates that you can talk to the NPC to receive a Quest. In (2) the star mark indicates that a Quest is already in progress. Since you might complete the Quest as you are playing through the story, there is no harm in accepting the Quests you pass by.

Since Quests have no effect on the story, you are free to take them on at your own pace. You cannot cancel a Quest once accepted.

Quest Menu

You can see which Quests and Hunt Quests you have accepted in the Quest menu.

• (1) The list of accepted Quests
• (2) Indicates whether or not a Quest is active – By choosing a Quest, you can set it to “Active,” and a check mark will appear. You can only have one Quest active at a time.
• (3) Quest type (subjugation)
• (4) Quest type (fetch / delivery)
• (5) Quest objective
• (6) Reward
• (7) Where to go

If a Quest is set to active, the Quest objective can be displayed.

You can pull up and hide the navigation that displays the Quest objective with the R2 button.

◆ Hunt Quests

Hunt Quests

Each town has a Guild where you can take on Hunt Quests. Upon accepting a Hunt Quest, the target monster will appear in a dungeon. Depending on the monster, it may be lurking in an area not displayed on the dungeon map.

• (1) Reward – The reward you will receive for defeating the monster.
• (2) Target Monster – The monster you need to defeat.
• (3) Where to Find It – The name of the dungeon where the monster will appear.

There are Hunt Quests recommended for players from Levels 5 and 100, but if you are confident and have the skill for it, you can take on a Hunt Quest regardless of level. Also, defeating the target monster will earn you experience points and drops.

Super Neptunia RPG is due out for PlayStation 4 on December 20 in Japan, and for PlayStation 4 and Switch in spring 2019 in North America and Europe.

Super Neptunia RPG launches for PC on June 20 worldwide, for PS4 and Switch on June 25 in North America and June 28 in Europe
PCPS4SWITCHApr 25, 2019 Comments 26

Super Neptunia RPG will launch for PC via Steam on June 20, and PlayStation 4 and Switch on June 25 in North America and June 28 in Europe, publisher Idea Factory International announced.

The PlayStation 4 and Switch versions include English and French language support, while the PC version includes English, French, Japanese, and Traditional Chinese language support.

The PC version will also have a 20 percent-off launch week discount, a Deluxe Bundle with a permanent 20 percent-off discount (includes the game and Deluxe Pack), and a Deluxe Pack with a 20 percent-off launch week discount. The Deluxe Pack includes a character art collection, background art collection, rough art collection, two PC wallpapers, five mobile wallpapers, and a soundtrack.

The PlayStation 4 version will have two slightly modified CGs, while the Switch and PC versions will contain all the original CGs. Gameplay for all platforms has not been changed from the original Japanese release.

Accompanying the release date announcement, Idea Factory International has released a new batch of battle screenshots, as well as updated the official website with information on game flow, skills, and abilities. Here are the details:

Game Flow

• Explore dungeons as Neptune! As soon as Neptune attacks/touches a monster, a battle will begin. Land a Symbol Attack on a monster to have a better advantage at the start of battle!
• Within dungeons, Neptune can jump, double jump, and summon a squishy pudding-like monster to help players reach higher platforms and treasure.
• During battle, players can fight with up to 4 party members. Pay close attention to your Action Points (AP), as each skill cast by a party member requires a certain amount of AP. Take advantage of an enemy’s weakness to recover additional AP!
• There are four formation types that can be switched on-the-fly: Strike, Magic, Support, and Heal. Attack types and passive bonuses change with each formation.
• Players will also recognize several important gauges to keep an eye out for: Goddess Gauge, AP Gauge, Break Attack Gauge, and the Enemy’s AP Gauge.

Skills

• Skills are attacks that characters can use with each formation. Players will use them by either equipping items endowed with Skills or by learning said Skills.
• By winning a battle, the items you have equipped will gain experience, and by fulfilling the conditions, you will be able to learn the Skills held by that item. After learning the Skill, players can unequip the item and still keep the skill learned from the item.
• Prepare for battle by setting your skills before hand. Remember, each formation has a different skill that a party member can cast, so you can equip up to four different skills for each character (16 in total). Note that certain skills can only be used in a specific formation (i.e. Strike Formation).

Abilities

• Abilities are skills that provide huge advantages. They are held by equipment (weapons, armor, accessories).
• Set your Abilities by using Ability Points. The higher the character’s level is, the more Ability Points you will receive. When you win a battle, the items you have equipped will gain experience, and if the conditions are fulfilled, you can learn the Abilities they hold. You can then set the Ability without having to equip the item.

And here is an overview of the game, via Idea Factory International:
