Neptunia Riders VS Dogoos

[h1]⚠️ Always Online DRM required but not listed on Store Page ⚠️[/h1] If you have the Deluxe Edition and create a save file your game will be bricked and you'll be stuck at a black screen if you want to play offline. Literally. I literally can't play the game offline.

Trust me. While this game is fun, it's not $40 fun with what little content it has. If you're going to buy this game, DO NOT buy this game at full price. Wait for a discount if you absolutely must have this game.

Even for a Neptunia game, this is grossly overpriced to the point its not even funny anymore, Im genuinely hoping with the rumored mainline game Idea Factory and Compile Heart gets their ♥♥♥♥ together because this franchise is literally at the brink of death.

本作作为海王星系列的外传作品，由正传的JRPG玩法转变为了一款摩托竞速游戏。 [h1]又来到别的世界了[/h1] 海王星的这几位女主角也是天天喜欢穿越到别的世界了，这次则是穿越到全是史莱犬的世界。最要命的是，女神们不知道受到什么神秘力量影响，来到这里后不但彼此分散，而且还无可救药地迷上了史莱犬。最先清醒过来的是天王星涡芽，她开始逐一唤醒别的女神，使用的方法是骑摩托车收集史莱犬以使女神们摆脱影响。顺带一提，这次女神们又双叒叕无法女神化了。。。 [h1]独特的摩托玩法[/h1] 本作的核心玩法是骑摩托车，但不是单纯竞速，胜利条件是比对手先收集到100只史莱犬。你可以近程攻击敌人夺走对方的史莱犬，也可以进行远程攻击迫使对手丢失史莱犬。此外，很多关卡会出现具有特殊效果（包括正面效果和负面效果）的史莱犬，要记得利用它们。游戏中可以选择两个角色出战，一个由玩家自己操控，一个由AI操控。 [h1]游玩体验[/h1] 骑摩托车抢怪的创意是比较有趣的，整体氛围轻松愉快，实际打起来难度也不高。不过操作的时候略显别扭，踩油门需要持续按V键，而左手还需要按A、D键控制方向、按Q键进行攻击等。好在关卡难度普遍不高，所以这一点是能接受的。另外，开始竞速后场面会比较乱，容易看不清骑摩托车的其他角色在哪里，也看不清是敌是友，所以笔者建议通过小地图来找敌人位置，接近后使用Q键进行近身攻击。 [h1]结语[/h1] 总的来说，本作算是海王星系列中的休闲小游戏，打折的时候入手还算不错。 [h1]笔者主观推荐指数：★★★★★★★☆☆☆（良作）[/h1] [i]本评测分数代表笔者个人主观体验，非绝对客观标准，仅供参考 评分标准：10超神作 (God-Tier) | 9神作 (Masterpiece) | 8佳作 (Excellent) | 7良作 (Good) | 6推荐 (Recommended) | 5-0不推荐 (Not Recommended)[/i] [quote]欢迎关注三真万法鉴赏组: https://store.steampowered.com/curator/45742107/ 欢迎加入三真万法鉴赏组: https://steamcommunity.com/groups/szwf [/quote]

I only recommend this if you find it for very cheap during a steam sale. It's extremely overpriced, I would price it at around 10€ at best. Also if you never played a Neptunia game, for half the price of this you can get Megadimension Neptunia VII wich is light years better than this one. This game is fun, but it's missing a lot of what make Neptunia games enjoyable. There's almost no interaction between characters other than really basic dialogues and the game is just 3 hours. There's also almost no references to anything, even to themselves. This game is about bikes but they don't even mention the Neptune bike, and IF is not here either. Also no Tsunako art at all, even the opening and ending is done with the 3D models. And even when they're using the 3d models for the conversations, they're not doing anything special with it. It's hoyoverse's levels of dialoge animation. With that said, it does have a couple of good things: New outfits for the protags that aren't reused from previous games, except big Neptune for some reason. The stages are also new and not reused. The music is also good. I feel like this game could have been another adition to their april fools games, but somehow they decided to go full title with the price. Feels weird.

If there are no haters of this game then I have perished. This game is beyond miserable and the grind is one of the most boring things on earth to the point where I fell asleep while playing this game.

[h1]《Neptunia Riders VS Dogoos》：写给粉丝的轻量级外传游戏[/h1] [url=https://store.steampowered.com/curator/45932802/]关注小红瓶，回血在当下点击关注 小红瓶游戏评鉴组[/url] [h2]前言[/h2] 《Neptunia Riders VS Dogoos》是由 Idea Factory 与 Compile Heart 联合制作的一款海王星系列外传作品。游戏讲述了海王星系列中的女神们穿越到史莱犬[spoiler]（我也不理解为什么叫史莱犬，应该是因为长得像狗的史莱姆）[/spoiler]世界中，在赛场上一边驾驶摩托车收集史莱犬，一边解救同伴并逐步发掘真相的故事。 通关时长：2-2.5h 游戏难度：3/10 全成就难度：4/10 我的评分：6/10 [h3]美术和音乐[/h3] 地雷社稳定发挥，画风延续了地雷社一贯的萌系风格，角色建模细腻，背景鲜明。配音表现也很到位，英配日配我都试听了一遍，整体而言还是日配更贴合角色气质。如果是粉丝冲着女神来的，这部分不会让你失望。 [h3]玩法机制[/h3] 本作并不像传统的赛车竞速游戏，而是类似于带有收集要素的大乱斗。 核心规则非常简单：玩家需要携带一名npc队友（或者不携带也可以），驾驶摩托车在地图中通过碰撞，攻击收集史莱犬，并可通过攻击抢夺敌方npc收集到的史莱犬，优先达到100/125只的队伍即可获胜。规则简单易懂，上手门槛极低，玩一把基本就能完全掌握，让人能轻松体验到游戏的乐趣。 游戏中最令人眼前一亮的点在于五十种效果各异的史莱犬，有的可以为提供增益，有的则会获得debuff，但也不用担心，可以将负面史莱犬甩出去攻击敌人，为对局增添了几分混乱与变数。其中最有趣的是两种变大/变小的史莱犬，通过将角色与摩托车变大/变小，可以进入一些平常无法进入的区域，给人带来了一定探索感。 在每局通过后会获得点数，在局外用于解锁新机车部件与角色饰品，部件可用于安装在摩托车上提供效果，饰品则可以为你的女神们穿上好看的衣服，提供了一定的收集感。 [h3]操作与内容量[/h3] 本游戏依旧是键鼠恶梦，没有手柄不配玩（谁能理解v油门c刹车e跳跃的痛苦），键鼠只能说完全玩不了。虽然支持改键，但本质问题依旧存在，这游戏明显是为手柄优化的。 此外，游戏玩法单一，关卡结构高度重复，仅五个区域，每个区域三关，2-2.5小时即可全语音通关主线剧情，可玩性不足。如果连续游玩，很容易产生审美疲劳。建议分开体验，而不是一口气通关。不推荐原价购入，打折粉丝可入。 [h3]其他部分[/h3] 值得一提的是，本作有拍照功能，可以好好欣赏女神们在摩托赛场上的英姿，没有白费这么优秀的建模，对粉丝而言是加分项。 在完成每一关后，都会开启困难模式，在困难模式下不能携带队友，且对通关时间要求更高，通过后会有更多的点数奖励，适合喜欢挑战自己的玩家。 优化表现极佳，属于是电脑能开机就能玩，我用办公本都能全高。 [h2]总结[/h2] 这是一款内容体量偏小、玩法简单但完成度尚可的粉丝向外传。如果你是海王星系列的忠实粉丝，史低 34 元入手完全可以接受，相信女神们会给你带来一段优秀的游戏旅途； 如果不是粉丝，除非你对这种轻度收集对抗玩法特别感兴趣，否则不建议原价购买。 不算惊喜之作，但也称不上敷衍。 [h2]测试配置:[/h2] CPU: i9-13900H GPU: Intel® Iris® Xe Graphics [url=https://store.steampowered.com/curator/45932802/]欢迎加入: 小红瓶游戏评鉴组[/url]

It's fine, but definitely not worth 40 bucks. I actually enjoyed this game for what it is. It's a decent spin-off with not really much to do after finishing the main game, except for doing all achievements, which can be done in around 5-6 hours of total playtime. Most of the achievements are unlocked by just playing through the main game, so it's not that much of a hassle. The only achievement that is just mind-numbingly dumb is driving for 200 km. I unlocked every achievement at around 100 km run, so I had to drive around for another 100 km aimlessly for 1-2 hours just to get the last two achievements. I know it's not necessary to go for all achievements in any game, but when you are missing just 1-2 achievements for full completion, why shouldn't you just go for it? It's not the worst, but it's not fun either. Also, for some reason, the resolution of this doesn't go above 1280 x 720 even in full-screen or borderless mode. Just why? At full price I wouldn't recommend this game to anyone. But if it's on sale for like 10-15 bucks and you are a fan of the franchise, I would recommend it. The customization is fun, the most fun I had in any Neptunia game with customization, actually, and I'm happy when I get to see beloved characters act goofy once more in this franchise. If you are not a fan of the Neptunia franchise, you will most likely not like this game, and there are better starting points to get into the series.

x-- 6/10 --x It's fun, for a while. I basically played it just for Neptune <3

Neptunia Riders VS Dogoos, developed by Idea Factory and Compile Heart and published by Idea Factory International, Inc., is a spin-off that takes the long-running Hyperdimension Neptunia franchise in a playful and unexpected direction. Instead of the turn-based RPG systems and meta-gaming satire the series is known for, this installment focuses on arcade-style bike riding and chaotic Dogoo collection. It blends racing, light combat, and creature-gathering mechanics into a compact action experience that feels more like an experimental side project than a mainline entry, yet it retains the charm and personality fans associate with the franchise. The premise is delightfully absurd, fitting the series’ tone. Familiar heroines find themselves in a strange dimension overrun by Dogoos—those gelatinous, mischievous creatures that have long been a comedic staple of the series. Armed with motorbikes, the characters must ride through stages collecting Dogoos while competing against rivals who are equally obsessed with scooping them up. The objective is not traditional racing focused on laps or finishing times; instead, victory depends on gathering the largest Dogoo count before the stage concludes. This twist shifts the emphasis from pure speed to positioning, collection efficiency, and opportunistic interference with opponents. Gameplay is structured across a series of themed stages, each filled with Dogoo variants that offer different effects. Some boost speed, others modify jump height, and a few impose negative conditions such as slowing the rider or shrinking the character. This adds a light layer of strategy, as players must decide whether to collect everything in sight or selectively pursue advantageous types. Combat mechanics allow riders to attack opponents to disrupt their collections, introducing moments of competition that can swing the outcome of a match. However, the combat remains relatively simple, serving more as a supporting mechanic than a central focus. Customization is present in the form of interchangeable bike parts and cosmetic adjustments. Players can modify body frames, tires, and other components to alter attributes such as speed, handling, and durability. While visually expressive, these upgrades tend to have subtle mechanical impact. The differences in performance rarely feel transformative, which may leave players wishing for deeper tuning options or more meaningful gameplay shifts. Still, the customization contributes to the lighthearted feel and allows players to personalize their experience. Visually, the game maintains the colorful anime aesthetic characteristic of the Neptunia universe. Character models are expressive and lively, and stages are bright and stylized. Although the graphical fidelity is not groundbreaking, the presentation is clean and functional, prioritizing clarity during fast-paced collection segments. The Dogoos themselves are animated with playful exaggeration, reinforcing the comedic tone. Cutscenes and dialogue sequences further highlight the cast’s personalities, delivering humorous exchanges that longtime fans will recognize and appreciate. The audio design supports the energetic atmosphere with upbeat background tracks and full voice acting in multiple languages. The voice performances capture the exaggerated charm of the series, adding personality to what might otherwise be repetitive gameplay loops. While the soundtrack is fitting, it is not particularly memorable beyond reinforcing the lively pace of each stage. In terms of content scope, Neptunia Riders VS Dogoos is relatively modest. The number of stages and playable characters provides a few hours of focused gameplay, but repetition becomes noticeable as objectives remain largely consistent across levels. The Dogoo-collection mechanic, while novel at first, does not evolve significantly throughout the campaign. This makes the experience feel more like an extended mini-game rather than a full-fledged standalone title. For dedicated fans, the character interactions and franchise familiarity add value; for newcomers, the gameplay depth may feel limited. Reception reflects this balance of charm and simplicity. Many players appreciate the whimsical concept and the opportunity to see beloved characters in a different gameplay style. At the same time, critiques often center on the repetitive structure and lack of substantial mechanical innovation. The game does not attempt to redefine racing or action genres; instead, it offers a focused, arcade-like diversion rooted in Neptunia’s playful identity. Ultimately, Neptunia Riders VS Dogoos succeeds as a lighthearted spin-off that embraces absurdity and accessibility. It delivers colorful visuals, humorous character dynamics, and a unique twist on collection-based competition. While it may not satisfy those seeking deep systems or extensive progression, it serves as an entertaining side adventure within the broader Neptunia catalog. For fans who enjoy the franchise’s humor and are open to a casual, fast-paced arcade experience, it offers a fun, if relatively brief, ride through Dogoo-filled chaos. Rating: 7/10
