Hyperdevotion Noire: Goddess Black Heart Reviews
Professional reviews from gaming critics
A great strategy RPG for the Vita worthy of your attention.
So it is not a perfect game and as you come to grips with its systems it stops being difficult even on the highest difficulty levels, but Hyperdevotion Noire is a deliberately silly, irreverent game that is hugely entertaining and technically competent. As someone who can’t get enough of the tactics JRPG genre, this is one I couldn’t put down.
Hyperdevotion Noire: Goddess Blackheart is a rather challenging game. The story is run of the mill, but the game has fun little moments that make it truly feel like a return to the Neptunia universe and it translates the RPG genre to turn-based tactics well. If you like TBT’s and love the Neptunia franchise then this is a must play game.
Hyperdevotion Noire is the first strategy/RPG in the Hyperdimension Neptunia franchise and not set within the world of Gamindustri, but instead within a similar, but separate, world known as "Gamarket."
There comes a time when a series must try something new - sometimes a platformer gets a kart racer, sometimes action/adventure games get fighting games, the list goes on. Among the most common types of spin-offs; however, are RPGs dipping into other RPG Sub-genres. Thus, we have Hyperdevotion Noire, the Hyperdimension Neptunia series's…
In an RPG franchise far, far away, there lived a CPU called Noire. As representative of Lastation, she didn't want to exist in the shadows of her allies anymore, and wanted to stand true as the game's main character. With hope in her heart, pure determination, and an army of generals at her command, her wish finally comes true in Hyperdevotion Noire: Goddess Black Heart. Not only is this the first title in the Neptunia franchise to not have the purple haired deity in the spotlight, but it's also the series' first strategy role-playing game.
Hyperdimension Neptunia fans may well enjoy this one, but I can’t count myself among them. The series has an alluring premise, but it just doesn’t push the idea far enough for me. The cloying characters and banal story are just so incredibly vapid, and the respectable strategic gameplay just isn’t enough to compensate for the myriad of drawbacks and stumbling blocks.
