MegamanX 05/02/20 2:00:09 PM #4:	Honorable Mention #1 Hyperdevotion Noire: Goddess Black Heart Is this game good? I don't really think so but I had an amusing time with aspects of the game. I think the parody thing they have going with this game is not bad. But having recently started the actual Neptunia series it really highlighted this games flaws. While the hub in this title and characters you recruit are parodies of gaming series and animoo culture the actual campaign is more void of jokes. Instead you play as uh you? Fanserviced into the game as this invisible character who serves to fawn over Noire. So the campaign really uh just parodies bad manga and slice of life anime? I dunno it seems very strange considering how full on insane the main Neptunia game is. When the main series is so hyper focused at dropping as many gaming jokes and even self referential jokes as it can Noires game shows its true colors a bit. The actual game plays like a decently easy FF Tactics clone except until the back half of the game when the difficulty suddenly spikes. At that point only the Goddess characters really matter because they can transform from a normal powerful state to near unstoppable for 3 turns. A lot of this game will be about attacking with one unit next to another unit to build up ....kiss...points so that characters can constantly unleash their limit breaks. Early on it really isn't necessary but yeah that back quarter of the game is weirdly difficult. The kissing animation takes forever so I disabled it immediately but the game at least tries to service its fan service to you on the near constant. So props for doing the job you set out to do. The main plot consists of Noire losing her stocks or shares for her Playstation land. She suspects its the other goddess are behind it but nope its the main bad guy from the first Neptunia game, I guess this is a what if scenario of the first game? The game has you then recruit a bunch of soldiers to your cause. In the main Neptunia series these characters at least from the first game seem to be based on different game developers and publishers, in Goddess Black Heart every character is based on a franchise. I like this idea and it really led to some interesting portrayals that I of course will break down cause these were fun Lee-Fi: Shes chun li in looks but is an amalgam for all the street fighter character personalities. Super powerful techniques but very little MP Lid: Shes Snake but she hides in a box cause shes afraid of social contact. Wasn't a fan not enough metal gear references, she also sucks in battle. Resta: Had 0 clue where she was from, Wikipedia says shes an Agarest War parody...K? Shes a white mage and the games best healer Estelle: Representing DQ she mainly just fights with the below character. Shes kinda whatever Ein Al: She looks like tidus, shes a bit better than Estelle in combat. Yeah neither make enough references for my liking Poona: Holy crap this character is annoying as hell. All her voice clips are just moaning. Shes an opoona reference, you know that gcn game you didn't play. Unfortunately shes a must as her spells are the strongest in the damn game and shes a great healer. dohhhhhh Moru: Representing Monster Hunter, she does make a lot of references. But yeah cat girl means cat girl speech. :\|. Shes strong but has no defense. Ai Masujima: Based off idolmaster I guess? Her spells are so close range I barely used her Ryuka: Representing Yakuza she uh doesnt really feel like Kiryu or Majima just some drunken mafia woman. Shes another glass cannon character Blossom: A Sakura Wars rep, another low powered unit Tsunemi: The Hatsune Miku character, she has some really devastating attacks but shes a close range unit which is fine until the last arc of levels where you want to be at maximum distance for safety Wyn: Had to look up shes a Winning Eleven parody, she has some good distance stuff. Boring character though Lady Wac: Its Pac Man! or Ms Pacman! Either way she has a lot of great lines, very very powerful unit Generia G: Super Robot Wars I guess? Shes a mid tier unit Saori: Wikipedia says something called Tokimeki Memorial, shes obsessed with love and shes not good. Bench Vio: Based off Resident Evil, shes a fantastic unit and one of the few that can poison Sango: Dynasty Warriors rep, shes a powerhouse unit but boring Little Rain : Wikipedia says Neverland whatever that is, shes very whiny but her heals are good....except they take like all her MP --- XBL/PSN/:StingX2 Switch: 0675-3724-0313 <cite>MegamanX posted [p:938488743] in My Top RPG...
