Hyperdimension Neptunia U: Action Unleashed (超次元アクション ネプテューヌU, Chō Jigen Akushon Nepute~yūnu U, lit. Super Dimension Action Neptune U) is a hack and slash video game developed by Tamsoft and published by Compile Heart in Japan and Idea Factory International in the west. As a spin-off title in the Hyperdimension Neptunia game series, it was announced by Compile Heart at the 2014 Dengeki Stage Event when the game was being created by Tamsoft who is known for their work with the Senran Kagura and OneChanbara games.[2] The game was released in Japan on August 28, 2014, and in North America and Europe in May 2015 for the PlayStation Vita.
Setting
A world known as Gamindustri (ゲイムギョウ界, Geimugyō-kai, a pun on ゲーム業界 Gēmu gyōkai, "game industry") protected by the divine aegis of the four CPUs (Console Patron Units, the goddesses) and their sisters, the CPU candidates. Even in this world the seeds of evil don't die out, and since brutal enemies along with ferocious monsters that appeared were quickly defeated by the collaboration between the CPUs and the CPU candidates, not only the goddesses themselves but also the inhabitants of Gamindustri ended up very bored. Due to that, the goddesses discussed an interesting proposal.
Characters
The four goddesses, Neptune, Noire, Blanc and Vert, and their sisters Nepgear, Uni, Ram and Rom all appear in the game. There are also two new playable characters that will be based on Japanese Gaming magazines, Dengekiko (representing magazine like the Dengeki PlayStation magazine) and Famitsu (representing the gaming review magazines).
Reception
Destructoid gave the game a review rating of 8 out of 10.[3]
