Idea Factory has yet released another installment for the Neptunia franchise on Steam for PC players to enjoy!
This time around, it's another spinoff surrounding by our CPU of Lastation, Noire! (Or... Black Heart if you prefer that)

Being a spinoff from the main Re;birth games. This time around we are leaving the world of RPG to a SRPG styled gameplay with our beloved and soon to be beloved characters chibi-fied! That's right, all those chibi artworks you may have seen floating around the net as pictures or merch created by Tsunako-san shall now come to life and ready for action.
Also to note, this takes in the world of Gamarket (See what they did there, so punny! (....*walks away* I know, that was lame... xD))

In regards to gameplay, it's slower than your usual battles from the main game. When your characters move they have a specific range in which you can select to move to. Items and activating HDD is same as ever. There are no maps. Like, Neptunia U. The story proceeds through doing quests! But not to worry, our hidden boxes and items are stillin the game but in battle as treasure chests... :3
Lily Ranks are now triggered using SP Skills and Moves if characters are adjacent to each other. I find that a nice touch because this means you can rank up more than 1 time in battle.

Some additional info, this is the first time I've encountered a Neptunia crash when opening the game (I was quite surprised since I own all the games and never experienced it). For those who are having trouble, I'd like to share how I resolved this. Set the game as an Administrator and run Windows 8 Compatibility Mode. It works for me and I have Windows 8.1 (Yes, I haven't upgraded lol). So yeah! Hopefully this trick will work for others too :))
