This is definitely a good addition to your collection, but yes... it lacks a lot of the fanservice of the other titles. I personally came for the Senran side of the game. I have much of the Neptunia series... but I haven't started playing any of them in depth. Now that I know I do not "Officially" own them since St**m confirmed to only sell licenses and not actual games... I find myself needing to dive into the catalog i assumed i built there. The main story makes this seem less like a true Senran/Nep game and just what it actually is... literally a universe of its own where the Seran girls and the Neptunia girls exist as opposing factions. You have all you normal girls from the Nep Series... I think... and you have the leaders of the four major teams in Senran. Then you get 2 extra girls that... based on what I have seen from both games character wise... seem to be specific to this game... which is sad... because one of them is AMAZING. If there is truly any reason to get this game, it is her. YAS! Sadly there is little chance to see her again as she is directly connected to what seems to be a Neptunia based character and she is a ninja... meaning she was likely created for this storyline alone and not to be used in the future. Gameplay is interesting as you have personal buffs you can activate, special attacks and ultimates to customize, and you are able to switch between multiple girls during battle. The combat can be a bit janky as you do have some input speed issues... think of monster hunter where your attacks have set timing and speed. Its made this way for the counter and defense system they have which is... also janky. But... to balance this... you bring in one girl and fight until she accumulates too much dmg, then you can switch her out and give her the chance to recover some of her HP as she rest. Funny thing is I used this more than the defensive options. If you wanna use one girl most of the time learn to defend... or be prepared to switch often.
