This transforms Neptune into a much more powerful state, and she will gain access to two additional moves, both of which deal massive damage.

Neptune can also activate a transformation state, which is called HDD (Hard Drive Divinity).

Neptune can summon characters from classic video games by initiating the combo assigned to that game disc, and it will inflict higher than normal damage. What sets this game apart from other RPGs is the Game Disc System, which allows Neptune and company to perform various special actions through special combos, accessible and editable through the pause menu.

During this time, that enemy will receive more damage than usual until the GP gauge refills. When the gauge is empty, Guard Break mode will activate. When that enemy is attacked, the GP gauge will decrease. Different bullet types usually have special effects or elemental powers.Įach enemy has a GP gauge, as well as an HP gauge. However, as the game progresses, Neptune and the party will obtain other types of bullets, and you can switch between them during combat with the shoulder buttons. When the game starts, you will have a default bullet. When using a Gun move, the circle next to the Combo Counter on the right displays your current bullet. There is a Sword move, which has the character slash an enemy with their weapon, a Gun move, which has the character shoot the enemy with their weapon (or in Neptune and IF's case, a gun), a Physical move, which has the character go straight up to an enemy and punch and kick them, and the Defend command, which consumes no AP, but puts the character in a defending state and ends their turn. Each different move consumes a set amount of AP. When it is Neptune's turn or any other supporting character's turn, they are given a set amount of AP (Ability Points), which determines how many moves they can make. These obstacles can be cleared by utilizing the various unique dungeon skills each character of Neptune's party has.ĭuring battle, the current turn for characters and enemies are displayed at the top right, as well as upcoming turns. Like most modern turn-based role-playing games, the dungeons feature random encounters, treasure chests, and various obstacles. However, the game also features 3D-style dungeon exploration, similar to recent Final Fantasy titles since Final Fantasy XIII. This game is in essence a story-based adventure game, in the sense that much of the game is spent reading the on-screen text, as in a visual novel.
