Holy Hyperdimension Neptunia games, Idea Factory has announced that another brand brand new game in the series will be making its way to Western shores. Hyperdimension Neptunia U: Action Unleashed, will be launching exclusively onto the PS Vita in North America and Europe Spring 2015, which both countries will receive retail and digital formats.
Just like Hyperdevotion Noire, Hyperdimension Neptunia U: Action Unleashed will take the series in a whole new direction. This game will be the first foray into the 3D action hack 'n' slash genre for the series. The game seems to take inspiration from the Dynasty Warriors and Senran Kagura series as you'll have to slash your through a pile of enemies using various attacks and skills. For more information on the game you can read the publisher's key features list below;
Key Features:
— For the first time ever, your favorite Neptunia characters will have to hack 'n' slash their way through waves of enemies in real time! In the free-roaming stages, you'll get to create chain combos both on the ground and in the air.
— With the Dual System, you'll be able to switch between two characters on the battlefield. Balance out each character's strengths and weaknesses to create the ultimate battle duo, and even get some new playable characters - some of whom might be familiar from previous Neptunia games.
— The heat of battle can cause some wear and tear on your outfits. When you experience a "Costume Break," your outfits will tear, lowering your defense but increasing your critical rate and EXE Drive Gauge.
— Fill up the EXE Drive Gauge in order to clear the room with two tiers of special attacks, and you might just get a helping hand from your friend later on to perform some super special attacks!
