Neptunia x Senran Kagura: Ninja Wars

Neptunia x Senran Kagura: Ninja Wars is the hyper-specific and ultra-niche crossover game I never thought I'd get. It's a delight to see the Senran Kagura crew after so long, and it's a blast to see the Neptunia girls in what is easily the most fun and satisfying to play spinoff in the series. The lack of extra features and watered down story leave something to be desired, but if this is the first...

Each new Neptunia game brings something exciting to Gamindustri and now, the cast meets SENRAN KAGURA for some ninja action.

When I first booted up Neptunia x SENRAN KAGURA: Ninja Wars, I was immediately hit with the guilty pleasure feeling. It was an immediate “Oh no, I hope no one catches me playing this” plus a bit of excitement. After previewing the first couple of chapters, I can say that this was a guilty pleasure turned pleasure. It wasn’t as risque or PG as I was expecting, nor was the amount of moe unbearable. ...

This crossover will please fans of both series, but accomplishes little else.

Neptunia x Senran Kagura: Ninja Wars is a really fun action RPG for fans of both franchises. Although the side-content is lacking, the overall package includes a quirky story, challenging missions and an engaging combat system. Checking out both series before diving into Neptunia x Senran Kagura: Ninja Wars is recommended.

Neptunia x SENRAN KAGURA: Ninja Wars succeeds at being a fun crossover and a decent enough game to play. It’s solid enough to satisfy fans and newbies alike, has a solid gameplay foundation, and isn’t afraid to let loose when the time calls for it. There’s enough here to keep you busy, and everything involved is at least competent enough to keep your attention. So long as you aren’t expecting Gam...

Neptunia x Senran Kagura: Ninja Wars is the highly specific crossover that fans will enjoy with a familiar cast, great interactions, and humor but lacks depth and content outside of its solid combat.

If the idea of sitting through up to an hour of pointless chit-chat before you can get into a bout of entertaining action doesn’t put you off, then you might get some enjoyment out of Neptunia x Senran Kagura: Ninja Wars. It’s not a bad game by any means, but it doesn’t strike a good balance between story and gameplay. And the story itself isn’t worthy of taking up so much of your time. Still, as ...

Fanservice is a controversial inclusion in video games. Hell, just the presence of it is enough to turn folks away. It’s understandable, but I believe that using sexuality doesn’t make a title necessarily bad. For instance, I’ve reviewed several that boasted scantily-clad women, perverse dialogue, and so much more, only to give it high praise. That’s because the gameplay is what’s important, and h...

There is so much potential in a crossover between the Neptunia and Senran Kagura series that it’s a real disappointment this is the best Tamsoft, Compile Heart, and Idea Factory have to offer. What should have been a celebration of two niche franchises that have defied the odds (and critics) to succeed in this industry is instead yet another forgettable spinoff for two series that have already see...

Neptunia x Senran Kagura: Ninja Wars is full of fanservice and anime girls with big boobs, but not much more. Insanely long visual novel talk segments, and the story is so silly there’s not much motivation to keep playing.
