This game is not a spinoff at all like the others, this looks more like reboot.
The gamindustri wasn't like that before, the sky and the ocean looked odd
and the goddesses' nation are all toned down just like them.
It's all because no one knows what really happened.

This game is sort of a role playing game, but of the side scrolling type. Kind of like those Castlevania games or one called Indivisible which this one shares a good many features with. The story is very lighthearted and tends to be on the humorous side; however, the game's combat is a bit repetitive and simply takes too long. I mean, you never are in any danger of dying as you just have to set the girls up right and you will literally auto heal the entire time!
So, the story has Neptune waking up with no memories in a vacant house. She is soon recruited by this organization which turns out to be the bad guys. Neptune though just wants some pudding, but she is soon made aware who the bad guys are and works for the resistance as the bad guys outlaw 3d games and only allow 2d games to be played. Their leader, the dastardly Filyn! Who does not seem all that evil and is very childlike. Neptune soon finds others to help her in Noire, Blanc, Verte and Chrome as they try to stop the evil organization and bring 3d games back into the world!
The game play is very much like Indivisible as you get to do some platforming and stuff. The combat would be better if it were more like that in Indivisible, however, it is more basic and the number of commands limited and you simply attack and attack and it does get a bit tiring. Lots of stuff to do though as there are lots of quests and it is a game that is an easy platinum trophy for PS4.
So, I would have enjoyed it immensely more if the combat was a bit more fast past or been more of a traditional turn based style one expects from a RPG game. Not sure about other Neptunia games and how the combat is, but if the stories are as humorous and fun as this one I would give them a shot.
