Super Neptunia RPG - Nintendo Switch

In a realm where the pixelated charm of 2D games holds sway, the omnipotent organization known as Bombyx Mori commands its denizens to produce 2D games as tributes to their leader. The audacious individuals who venture to incorporate innovative technologies or fail to meet the stringent standards of their games face the grim prospect of exile to the grueling Trial Grounds. Amidst this stark reality, a girl named Neptune awakens, bereft of any memories beyond her name. She soon discovers her extraordinary strength and, armed with her newfound heroism and a mysterious tome known as Histoire, embarks on a quest to explore the possibilities beyond this two-dimensional existence.

The game’s features are a testament to its unique blend of classic and contemporary gaming elements. The Old School Dungeons offer players the opportunity to navigate through beautifully illustrated, interactive dungeons that pay homage to iconic gaming titles. The intricate design and vibrant colors of the dungeons provide an immersive gaming experience that captivates players and transports them to a nostalgic era of gaming.

The innovative Follow the Leader battle system introduces a dynamic shift in the party’s attack style based on the battle leader.

The ability to adapt and strategize in real-time enhances the gaming experience, making each battle a unique encounter.

The narrative of the game centers around the mission to Save Gamindustri. In an era where the allure of retro gaming and the allure of 3D graphics stand at opposite ends of the spectrum, the story plunges headfirst into this debate. It presents a self-aware critique of gaming culture, exploring the dichotomy between traditional and modern gaming trends. This introspective narrative approach adds a layer of depth to the game, engaging players on a deeper level and encouraging them to reflect on the evolution of gaming.

The 2D Comes to Life feature showcases the exquisite hand-drawn art of the Neptunia series artist, Tsunako. Artisan Studio breathes life into these illustrations, presenting the characters in a novel and captivating manner.
