Ninja War

While the game can be fun to waste some time, don’t expect a masterpiece when playing it. The game is fun and lighthearted, so it can provide you with a pretty chill experience if that’s what you’re interested in. The game does not have the deepest plot, and to be honest, it is a pretty weak and straightforward story. It mainly focuses on more lighthearted aspects, as the characters constantly make funny comments and jokes, and there are plenty of comic scenes. The combat is also pretty simple, unlike other hack n’ slash games like Devil May Cry and Bayonetta. You have your standard combos and attacks, some pretty flashy moves and specials to move, but none of them are challenging to perform so you will be pretty much just mashing buttons. All levels are also pretty linear and straightforward, and you must defeat monsters that appear and sometimes fight against bosses. The fights are not highly challenging, so you will probably be able to clear them quickly.

You can play with ten characters, and you can pick two when playing through a level, and you can switch between them anytime. Sadly, all characters have similar combat styles, there is some variation, but it still feels pretty generic. Also, the roster is a bit small compared to previous games, and what makes it even worse is that the game is a crossover between Neptunia and Senran Kagura, so it would’ve been nice to see some more playable characters. Sadly this title feels like a letdown, as it doens’t have much to offer content-wise. There is no photo mode, different costumes, or even some fun mini-games. Sadly, there isn't much more to do once you finish playing the game.

Conclusion

Neptunia x SENRAN KAGURA: Ninja Wars is a pretty good-looking game with ok combat, and it is an enjoyable game. However don’t expect too much from it, as you will be disappointed. The best thing about the game is, without a doubt, the dialogue and banter between the characters.
