Neptunia: Sisters VS Sisters
GameOn Magazine|Issue 160 - March 2023
Before this game I had accumulated over 250 hours in various Neptunia games since 2019, and I’ve not even made time to play them all yet.

Neptunia: Sisters VS Sisters

For instance, the latest two games before Neptunia: Sisters VS Sisters, which would add another 40 or so hours. Because of the Neptunia series I’ve checked out a whole bunch of other Idea Factory and Compile Heart titles because they have a certain charm to them: to say that I was excited for this is a bit of an understatement. I know that the various spin-off titles aren’t for everyone, but this feels like a main title even though I’ve been assured it’s not. Of course, you can play the games in any order, but if you’ve played previous games you’ll get tons of references.

In Neptunia: Sisters VS Sisters you take control of the younger sisters of the goddess CP (AKA the CPU Candidates) after the older sisters head off to the PC Continent to answer a call for help. It’s an action RPG which gives you a party of three characters who you can swap between, and a rotating list of characters to choose from.

Quick crash course, they are called CPUs because everything in the world is related to videogames. Each nation is themed around a console maker; Lastation is Sony, Leanbox is Microsoft, Lowee is Nintendo, and Planeptune is Sega. They had a console war in the past, but now just cheer on each other as friends while each nation makes its own consoles. Except for Planeptune which has only released somemini consoles recently, something Leanbox looks down upon while making mini fridges.
