Neptunia Game Maker R:Evolution

好乐色的游戏 但是有可爱大涅普和超好看的作画 给个好评

A swift and decisive regression back to the average Neptunia spin-off’s level (or maybe even slightly below) after the most pleasant surprise that was [url=https://steamcommunity.com/id/KisekiDrillTeam/recommended/1932160]Sisters VS Sisters[/url]. This game is just a shallow, pointless, copy-pasted filler. Everything SvS did well, GMR does poorly, and everything SvS did poorly, GMR does poorly too but for x5 longer, making it stand out 5 times more. The combat consists of the same primitive, unresponsive semi-action battles; there are some adjustments, but nothing of essence has been improved. Four attacks, switch, four attacks, switch, repeat ad nauseam. The enemies got rather damage-spongy and many moves feel slower than before, so in a way they actually managed to make it worse. The only sensible change is that canceling now stops animations immediately, so with the right disks you can react and dodge in real time, but instead of inviting you to study the enemy patterns (there’s barely any), this just promotes a few specific cheese tactics that make things even more repetitive. While SvS had the good sense to at least keep such simplistic fighting infrequent and easy enough to make it a secondary activity in between long story sequences, you’ll find no such restraint here. The dungeons are numerous, relatively large, and involve backtracking as you open doors or barriers, while enemies are often placed in narrow passages where it’s very hard to avoid them. A few dungeons feature proper puzzles now, except the enemies keep blocking the road or respawning and getting in your face while you try to solve them. The boss fights have a couple of difficulty spikes, and though it’s good that the game occasionally asks you to do something non-trivial, they only highlight the combat’s unbalanced and one-sided, "stunlock or die" core. Also, although these are optional, let’s not forget the three Neptral Towers, each with 100 sizable pieces of the same dungeons in a row that must be cleared without leaving, while your levels and inventory get partially reset. Even aborting any battle takes 10 full seconds of running into the arena’s border. There’s just no way to escape pressing the same buttons over and over and over again. The story and writing are as superficial as you’d expect from an average spin-off. Nobody has anything new to say, and nobody brought any memorable gags either. The three new main girls are one-note cardboard cutouts with no backstory or character development to speak of, and everyone else is just helpless, grateful observers on their smooth journey where the intricacies of game development start and stop with the mantra "this is fun". While SvS commented on recent, relatable things like Covid lockdowns, smartphone addiction, or PC vs. console gaming ecosystems, GMR is stuck in some detached quasi-retro world where everyone depends on selling physical disks and freaks out about piracy for the Nth time in the series. And speaking of Nth times in the series, I hope you aren’t tired of hearing the same rehashed jokes like Neptune being a deadbeat or Magiquone’s name getting mispronounced, because that’s what 70-80% of the game’s humor boils down to. The closest thing to feeling immersive and interesting in this game is the new "company simulator". Mechanically, there's nothing but repetitive simplicity here either (you don't really "manage" anything; just do basic menu actions, idle, and rake in endless profit), but the vibes are solid. There are disks of varying genres to make and realistic user reviews to read for each one; commercials to run and DLC to release; funny-looking office buildings to upgrade and an email box to check that even shows Big Nep's corporate-speak replies… It gets old relatively quickly, but at least you usually aren’t forced to engage with it, unlike the RPG side of things. It really wasn’t my intention to sound so black-and-white about the two latest Neptunia entries, but despite looking and playing almost identically, they couldn’t be further apart. Maybe they were done by different subteams, or maybe the devs are so intent on pumping out games that it leaves no room to stay creative. After SvS, I felt renewed hope for the upcoming mainline entry and the franchise’s future in general, but now I think it’s basically a coin flip. Will we get actual characters or shallow caricatures next time? Will it have a meaningful new story or just repeat the same uninspiring plotlines? Will the gameplay at least offer a pleasant progression or only mind-numbing repetition? Only time will tell.

豪赤，爱赤！

[h1] 涅普化身游戏公司CEO！让我们愉快的玩游戏吧~ [/h1] 可爱的涅普再度开启穿越之旅，而这次她降临一座以游戏产业为核心的奇妙世界。三女神因市场竞争失利陷入绝境，濒临失去力量与立足之地。临危受命的涅普将扛起大旗，以CEO形态出击！ 《Neptunia Game Maker R:Evolution》作为海王星系列的外传作品，我们将带领伙伴从零起步，一边研发新作、经营公司抢占市场，一边深入迷宫冒险、迎战行业对手，在欢乐日常与热血战斗中，上演一场游戏业界的逆袭大戏吧~ [h2]涅普涅普涅~让涅普带领大家探索迷宫，开拓市场！ [/h2] 在这个各地区相对封闭的世界，想要把游戏卖出去就得不断开拓其他市场，只不过在此之前需要先挑战对应的迷宫。地图设计依旧延续了海王星系列的“光荣传统”，岔路多啦、结构复杂啦、小地图约等于没有等等，只能说跑图过程中很容易迷路。所幸迷宫探索中采用的是明雷遇敌机制，可以先手攻击进入即时动作战斗，操作角色攻击来积攒能量，然后通过切换角色释放连携技，连携层数越高伤害越可观；当能力槽蓄满能释放大范围终结技，或者说开启女神化欣赏变身CG，还是真不错的。 当然了，光是开拓市场没有对应的游戏那也是不行，开发完选定的游戏后即可在对应区域进行投放，获取收益。或者是直接作为装备来穿戴，强化角色属性。此外还能投资升级大楼、招募创作者、改造据点风格等等，整体的经营体系玩法还是比较简单的。 [h2] 结语 [/h2] 一款还算不错的粉丝向作品，在保留系列经典人设和搞笑剧情的基础上，在很多地方都做出了创新（终于不再是经典的回合制战斗了），如果是海王星系列老粉丝可以放心入手，熟悉的角色与全新的玩法能带来新鲜感 [quote] 奏游戏之乐章，品人生之绚烂 [url=https://store.steampowered.com/curator/45672460/]欢迎加入 『 丰川集团 』[/url] [u][b]以丰川集团之名，行评测鉴赏之事[/b][/u][/quote]
