Megatagmension Blanc + Neptune VS Zombies Reviews
Professional reviews from gaming critics
Tamsoft went into this one with a clear brief to do something heavily fanservicey, and even by comparison to its work on Action Unleashed, MegaTagmension certainly achieves that. It’s heavily exploitative with those school uniforms, and that might put you off it, but for existing fans of the girls and their antics, this is another very worthy and thematically spot-on feather in the cap. It also represents one of the stronger efforts at storytelling in the series, aside from Idea Factory’s own work, and that’s a good sign for the future development of the series.
Megatagmension Blanc + Neptune VS Zombies is as big a name as it is a departure from the series' previous games. A third-person character action that seeks to learn from previous mistakes made in Neptunia U may be a recipe for success.
If you’re a fan of the Neptunia series, and especially the characters, MegaTagmension definitely comes highly recommended. If you haven’t played the series before, this game does offer a decent entry point, as it doesn’t require prior knowledge of the series to enjoy. Hell, playing this was my first exposure to the Neptunia series, and despite the faults, I had a great time with it.
The Hyperdimension Neptunia series hasn't been around long yet there sure are plenty of spin-offs. This Vita exclusive title has you beat on countless zombies as a cast of familiar schoolgirls, but is it a worthy entry in the series?
In this hack 'n' slash Neptunia spin-off, you fight through zombie hordes at the prestigious Gamicademi, customize character accessories, and even team up with friends in online multiplayer mode to take on more of the undead!
MegaTagmension: Blanc + Neptune vs. Zombies is one of those games where you definitely have to be either a fan of the genre or a fan of the series to enjoy, and even then you’re not necessarily going to enjoy it past the initial playthrough unless you’re a diehard fan of these games. The story is bland, the characters have a lot of personality that doesn’t always get to shine, and the gameplay is repetitive, even according to musou standards. However, the moments where everything seems to click, it serves this game extremely well.
A strong multiplayer feature buckles under the weight of a middling single player mode.
I personally love the hack-and-slash genre, but I also understand the criticism that’s leveled in its direction. After all, so many of the games that fall under its umbrella just involve mashing the same button over and over. But I like to think there are certain nuances that make said button mashing a fair bit of fun: enemy variety, a diverse set of playable characters, occasional puzzles and clever level design can really keep things interesting. Unfortunately, MegaTagmension Blanc + Neptune VS Zombies only hits upon one of these factors — the playable character bit — leaving this Warriors-l...
