11/7/2023 0 Comments Neptunia anime funny moments![]() Using L1, you can use special moves in Ninja Art abilities which look nice and more importantly make you invulnerable to being stun-locked by tougher foes. Combat boils down to mashing Square to complete combos on a majority of enemies who have slow attack animations and are generally fodder. ![]() A Gameplay GrindĪs a self-proclaimed action RPG and hack-and-slash, Ninja Wars is again functional, with little to no ingenuity or flair to accompany it. If you’re a fan of the series themselves there might be more for you in this, but for me as a newcomer it was all pretty bland and unengaging. Other than that though, the story is largely uninteresting and forgettable. ![]() Jokes about DMCA takedowns, cliches of how protagonist’s journeys progress and the annoyance of the amnesia trope actually did land and made me chuckle, so it wasn’t all bad. The main protagonist, Neptune, is genuinely funny in places, with regular meta quips about video games and the industry. These scenes happen a handful of times, being completely unnecessary, complete with cringey, painful dialogue which is poorly disguised from its purpose of being sexual fantasy.Īside from the fact that each of the all-female playable cast have unwieldy and disproportionately large breasts, there are actually a couple of better moments dialogue wise. They’re mostly one-dimensional and rarely show any actual traits of being human beings, with their “development” limited to suggesting awkward scenes where they all bathe together for “bonding”. It usually boils down to one being the amnesiac, one the obsessed-with-another-main character, the unconfident one etc etc. It’s all largely obvious, cliched and lacking any depth or intrigue, so before long you’ll probably find yourself wanting to skip most of it.Įach of the ninjas and characters you come across have their own… shall we say… personality quirks. There’s an abundance of text dialogue which quickly becomes wearing, with characters repeating the same objective or newly identified bit of information about 4-5 times before finally moving on. Imagine if you had to create cutscene moments using PowerPoint animation effects and you can probably picture it. Narrative is delivered through sterile, unengaging static stills of a backdrop, with non-animated characters having a cutout of their appearance which slide across the screen to show movement. You travel to different levels around the map, fighting off Yokai and Steeme Legion grunts and often a boss. Each nation has 4 all-powerful ninjas which, in a completely shocking and unexpected turn of events, must band together to defeat a new and all powerful threat: the Steeme Legion and it’s leader Yoh Gamer, master of the “Headshot Style”. Ninja Wars is, expectedly, a story about 2 nations – Heartland and Marveland – who are constantly at war to maintain “share energy”, a force that keeps the kingdom held together, basically. Sorry, I mean, Neptunia x Senran Kagura: Ninja Wars (doesn’t exactly roll off the tongue does it?). So, without further ado, let’s dive into Anime Breasts: The Game. That’s not to say it’s a great or even good game, but it was tolerable and actually has a couple of ever-so-slightly redeeming elements, despite its decidedly lower budget offering and mechanical failings. To my surprise however, it appears the series has taken some ( slight) steps towards a less hypersexualised entry and… well… it wasn’t as terrible I’d built up in my mind. You could imagine my trepidation about wading in to such a series as a result. There was quite a myth and legend spoken about the precessors, notorious for being obnoxiously sexualised and based on little more than male fantasy titillation. In fact, I’d never even heard of them before they were brought to my attention by my colleagues at FingerGuns. Let’s start from the top – I’ve never played any of the previous entries in either the Neptunia or Senran Kagura series before. ![]() The crossover of two action hack-and-slash series, Neptunia x Senran Kagura: Ninja Wars is ultimately a lacklustre video game. ![]() The crossover of two action hack-and-slash series, Ninja Wars is ultimately a lacklustre video game. ![]()
