Critics like RPGamer say the game has a strong and detailed combat system. Battles take place on grid maps with traps, teleporters, and other obstacles. Players need to think carefully about where to move and how to plan attacks. Each fight can have different goals, like finishing within a time limit or protecting certain characters, which keeps the gameplay interesting and fun.
However, many reviewers say the story is not very strong. It sometimes feels simple and is often overshadowed by fan service elements, which some players find distracting. Metacritic reviews also agree that while the combat and character interactions are enjoyable, the story feels less exciting and sometimes cliché compared to earlier Neptunia games.
On Steam, most players have a positive opinion of the game, with around 79% of 823 reviews being positive. Players like the deep battle system and character designs, which makes the game enjoyable for fans of the genre.
