Really fun game with arpg mechanics that feel right, and the modding capabilities are incredible! Can't wait to see all of the custom campaigns, game modes and classes people come up with.

Very cool game.

good game with lots of 2hou

A decent concept ruined by a terrible company. I urge you to not waste your time with this as there are way better games in our world by developers that actually care about their player base and reputation. Take a peak at the upcoming Blue Protocol if you're interested in an actual MMO experience with similar style!

There are some definite improvements in certain areas, such as the addition of fast travel, actual water mechanics, and the world map; but aside from that everything else seems really in-development, not really what I'd call a "beta" but more like starting over again in the alpha stages. The most serious issue I have so far is area specific unlocks and gear, which primarily killed my drive to play the game and I probably will not be able to enjoy it at all unless this is changed.

Cannot recommend it to anyone right now unless you're dedicated toward looking for bugs / providing feedback and not simply trying to play a game.

addicting asf and hella fun with friends

First off, I'd like to point out that I think of myself as a pretty solid fan of the entire Neptunia franchise, I own every game on PC, and because of this I felt like I didn't want to give this game a negative review. Instead of writing an essay on all of the issues that have been discussed in the steam discussions already, I'll just point out a few of the pros and cons there were at least for me.


Pros
- It's a Neptunia game! ( only really matters if you're a nep collector like me )
- The character designs and particle effects are well made. It's satisfying to swing around a giant flaming popsicle as nep.
- The new outfits for all the characters are neat and cute.
- The music for the most part is really good, none of it recycled from previous games.
- No recycled levels from previous games ( despite them being boring ).


Cons
- Plutia is not a playable character. --- This is unforgivable. ---
- Uzume and Peashy are also not playable.
- The netcode is awful so multiplayer is literally unplayable unless you're lucky or in the same room. This was pretty much the selling point for me and ended up being a complete and utter disappointment, apparently it's just like the PS4 version.
- The combat is boring, there is seemingly no skill required, just target enemy, mash buttons and spam your best ability.
- The customization options are lackluster, bad hair colors and very few actual costumes. Accessories only show up on your main character and not on NPC party members.
- Level design is boring, there are no landmarks just open fields, or empty dungeon cooridoors. One level toward the end seemingly uses default Unreal Engine assets which felt cheap and kind of threw off the immersion for me.
- This one isn't actually their fault, but there is supposedly no Live2D support in Unreal Engine, so the dialogue cutscenes are all still-frames with simple camera focus animations and particles.
- There will probably be no bug fixes, as we have seen no response from IF regarding their efforts to improve the netcode or fix other issues.


I can understand that working in a brand new engine, especially Unreal, is outside of their comfort zone, but the way the product was handled after release feels like they just dumped the game on us, took the money and ran and that's probably exactly what they did. I do not recommend you buy this unless its on sale and if you really really REALLY want it despite knowing the flaws.

Really, really, really wanted to like this game, yet it kinda just hurts looking at it in my library. Maybe if they make a new game with Plutia as a playable character I'll consider overlooking this trainwreck.

bombtag more like deadtag amirite

Incredible platformer with Metroid influence.

Great soundtrack, great artwork, cute girls, good story, good humor, good gameplay.

As others say, it's most likely the pinnacle of the Shantae franchise.


10/10

DYA Games excels at creating old arcade / retro styled games with new twists.

Strikey Sisters is a fantasy-themed Breakout game, where you essentially bounce a ball from your paddle off of other objects, and win by destroying all of the blocks without losing your ball off the bottom of the level.

This is much more than that. There are a bunch of different monsters, levels, different powerups that affect your ball and character, boss battles. There's also Local Co-op!

The game is playable on a Keyboard, but a controller is recommended!


I highly recommend this to fans of retro games, especially breakout fans. It's very cheap as well, only $0.99! Go check out their other games too while you're at it, they're all the same price btw!
