Does what few JRPGs do as it features in-depth party customization as well as a delightful cast of characters. Factor in a boatload of additional content to master and you're left with a must-have RPG.

The real attraction in this game is the battle system. It's turn-based, but it's also done across multiple levels, and you have to be mindful of defending and attacking across all of them. As someone who always struggles with a single level in turn-based fights, I found it challenging to adapt to three of them, but I also found it much more interesting than the standard battles we usually see in Neptunia games. This seems like a fresh new direction for the venerable JRPG maker.

There's an interesting story to unfold here, but actually playing the game to get to it might be a challenge best left unmet.
