Some thoughts on my last Gamefly rental, Neptunia Virtual Stars.

I know it was from having to pay for all the Guest Vtubers, but I was mildly disappointed that there wasn’t a dub this time around; the VAs fit the Four CPUs really well now, especially Neptune’s.

The many V-Tubers in the game need to be saved from specific Antis that hold their V-Cubes captive. While it seems to be random which Vtuber the enemy has, there does to be a high chance of it being a new one. Or maybe I just got lucky. Before areas with said enemies, there’ll usually be a large monitor of the one there asking for help, so you can see if they a new one or not. You don’t actually need to rescue all of the Vtubers to finish the game, or all of the trophies, but you do need at least 25 to finish the game, and 30 for a Trophy.

The V-Cubes themselves can be equipped to increase everyone’s stats. Some you find may have various effects added to them that either further increase, or possibly decrease, some stats, and add special abilities to them, like increased item drop rate.

The playable characters are the four CPUs, Neptune, Noire, Blanc and Vert, and eventually four(original) Vtubers that are each in a team of two(Me and You, Vice and Licht). The two groups have some differences in their gameplay and stats:

The Vtubers have a normal health bar, and fight enemies like in an action RPG. While both groups can double jump, only they can dash in the air, and only twice before hitting the ground again.

An ability exclusive to the Vtubers is, if an attack is dodged at the last moment, they gain infinite MP for a couple seconds.

The CPUs use guns this time around, play like a third person shooter, and they can also skate around quickly for a few seconds if you hit Circle on the ground, which is pretty fun.

The CPUs have units of health, starting out at 10, and can be maxed out to 30 from V-Cubes. They also have no defense stat, and only take 1 unit of damage from most enemies.

A stat exclusive to the CPUs is TKMK, which is for their ‘Tokimeki Flash’ ability. After shooting an enemy enough times without purifying it, as a purple circle bar fills up, they enemy will get stunned. This is actually required for the final boss, so near the end, try and raise the TKMK stat of one of them with V-Cubes, preferably on Neptune.

Be careful going into back into older areas to train; after beating a main boss, they’ll get replaced by a much stronger version(for example, Waru Waru Duga, the first boss, is replaced by one that’s level 33). You’ll need to beat them for trophies, though.

There’s a fairly easy music rhythm minigame you can do for money and items, though it’s very simplistic, and I think the input might be a bit off. You can get the characters to dance around in whatever ridiculous accessories you equip them with, though. XD

There’s also a few side stuff you can do for items, but aren’t completely needed for the Platinum: doing randomly given requests from ingame fans(that can be very vague about what they want you to so, sometimes), requests from Vtubers you’ve rescued(which have all have short little videos from the characters asking for your help and thanking you afterwards), and two different card collections to complete(one just of the ingame Vtubers, and another of Compile Heart characters).

Like pretty much all Neptunia games, there’s some commentary and fourth wall breaking.

The main enemies being called Antis, which have become quite the real world problem(some call certain groups of them by differing names), and it has effected some Vtubers. too. Coco Kiryu and Akai Haato/Haachama from Hololive are ones that comes to mind, since after a certain incident from last year, they’ve been after Coco relentlessly, though mostly stopped bugging Haachama after a while. Though how awful Antis can be, especially as of late, isn’t fully explored(that might be a bit much for a mostly light-hearted series like Neptunia), they’re behavior is touched upon.

A later enemy that resembles the Twitter bird fires a very annoying and damaging bazooka, and they usually appear with several others(and are the only enemies that can do more than 1 unit of damage to the CPUs). Admittedly, it might just be because they’re later-game enemies that they’re more difficult and annoying, but still.

There’s a really good moment, imo, in the story about making Content out of love vs. just for money. There’s more to it in Kado’s backstory, also regarding stuff with content management and distribution I believe, but I’m not sure how best to put it into words; best to see things for yourself.

And probably more I missed.

On the loading screens between areas, a short video from the Vtubers that you’ve rescued will play. They can be skipped after a couple seconds, but letting them fully play out gets you an item. Also, similar videos play in the Neotube Plaza, as well as a few of Hololive’s Holo Graffiti shorts videos, and possibly others, too.

I actually do watch some Vtubers myself. Mostly just clips, though. The main ones I watch are from Hololive, Hana Macchia from Nijisanji, and both Pikamee and Tomoshika from VOMS Project(Jitomi Monoe was unfortunately let go earlier this year). Here’s a list of all the Guest Vtubers appearing in this game(most of whom I have never heard of, though it seems a couple actually aren’t around anymore).

Apparently, the original Vtubers Me and You will be making an official debut at some point.

Though the gameplay did grow on me after a while, if I had to choose between this or Cyberdimension Neptunia, I’d probably choose the latter; it’s action just felt better, but this is still worth a playthrough. The start of the game feels kind of rough, but I started liking it more as it went on, once everyone starts getting better skills, and the characters and their interactions are always fun in Neptunia.

Next game being sent is: Hollow Knight.
