Megadimension Neptunia VII

Megadimension Neptunia VII is a Japanese role-playing game about Neptune and the goddesses of Gamindustri. The story takes place across several interconnected dimensions, where the heroines fight new enemies and for the future of their world. Exploration, dialogue and turn-based battles alternate.

Megadimension Neptunia VII was released in Germany on Feb 11, 2016 for PlayStation 4. The PC version followed on Steam on Jul 5, 2016. Nintendo Switch received the game on Jul 28, 2020.

The role-playing game is natively available for PS4, PC and Nintendo Switch. On PS5, the PS4 version can be played via backward compatibility. Nintendo explicitly warns of problems playing the Switch version on Switch 2. A standalone Switch 2 version is not among the released versions.

The Switch version supports TV, tabletop and handheld mode and is designed for one player.

You explore areas, form a party and fight enemies in turn-based battles. Positioning, attack range and shared special actions determine how you defeat stronger enemies. Between battles, the three storylines continue to develop.

Megadimension Neptunia VII has additional characters, weapon, equipment and costume packs. On PC, God Eater, Nitroplus, Umio and Nepgya are among the extra characters sold separately. The Switch version has its own Nintendo eShop add-on content. DLC for one platform cannot be used automatically on the other.

On PC, Megadimension Neptunia VII requires at least 6 GB RAM, a GeForce GTX 650 and 17 GB storage, according to Steam. 8 GB RAM and a GTX 960 are recommended. Steam now requires a Windows client for Windows 10 or later, even though the original game requirements list older Windows versions.

Neptune's journey takes him through three narratively connected dimensions. The Zero Dimension is the starting point of the new conflict. Later, more goddesses and companions join, while the threat to Gamindustri grows.

Party members can team up for especially powerful attacks. These combo actions complement normal attacks and abilities. Which characters are used together therefore also affects your options in battle.

“Parts Break” lets you destroy specific parts of large enemies. This lowers their combat stats or stops certain attacks. Against tough enemies, choosing the right target can matter more than raw damage.

The goddesses gain a second transformation stage with NEXT mode. It offers additional abilities and a different appearance. The transformations expand your tactical options in particularly difficult battles.

Giant Battles present the party with special battle rules. Fights against oversized enemies require a different approach to character abilities than ordinary battles.

An additional dungeon mini-game challenges you to clear a section within a time limit. The format, inspired by classic cave-exploring games, rewards successful runs with items.

The PC version offers English on-screen text and English and Japanese voice audio. German on-screen text is not listed on Steam. The German PlayStation Store page also lists English as the on-screen language. The adventure is designed for single players.

The base game and additional Deluxe content are sold separately on PC. Steam also offers bundles of the game and several expansions. These bundles do not change the scope of the original base game or the requirements for separately sold add-on content.

The PS4 version can be launched on PlayStation 5 via backward compatibility. Sony notes that some features of the PS4 version may be missing in this case. This does not mean a native PS5 release.

Nintendo reports problems with game progress on Nintendo Switch 2 for the Switch version. This concerns how the existing Switch version runs and is not an indication of a native version for the newer console.
