Okay, this ISN'T a Neptune game, but it is similar to them in many ways including graphics and some of the game play. There are many changes to which is nice making this game stand on it's own and mot seem like a total clone of Nep. Still, everything comes down to the most important thing in a good RPG; the story. The story is very well done and enjoyable giving me the freedom to give this game 5 out of 5 stars. Nep for the stars young fairy!

If you're a fan of the Neptunia series of JRPGs there is very little chance you won't enjoy this. This is a refreshing break from the world of Game Industri but with the familiar combat system and visual novel style dialogue from those games. The characters are very charming, and the banter between them is often hilarious and touching. One of the visual treats of the Neptunia series are the animations during skills, transformations, and ultimates; this is where Fairy Fencer beats out Neptunia in my opinion. The ultimates look a lot more epic, the skills all look awesome, and the transformations are pretty sweet too. I definitely recommend this game to any Neptunia fans or fans of turn based JRPGs in general who are looking for something light hearted and fun.

Neptunia fans read point B otherwise read point A A. Fairy Fencer F is a RPG with 3D battles where you are confined in an area with the enemy you are facing. It has some humor here and there but is much more of a serious game. This game is heavily story based with long drawn out conversations that can get a little annoying but all of the conversations are able to be skipped completely. Over all if you like rpgs, graphic novels, and more complex rpg battles than you should like this. B. It has much less humor than the Neptunia series with far less 4th wall breaks (I have only found one which kinda didn't happen). At the base the Battles are the same but with the normal attack there is no enemies in the small attack range get attacked but special moves like in the Neptunia series do have that. There is a sword stabbing feature that is somewhat similar to the remake system in Re;Birth. Over all it is a good RPG game like Neptunia so if you like Neptunia and want another good RPG game than this is a good choice.

Unlike most people that purchased this game, I have not played any Neptunia games. I found Fairy Fencer F very interesting. I would play it daily to learn more about the story and to figure out how events play out. I've yet to do my second playthrough, but I intend to when I have time. One of the most enjoyable games I've played in some time. Again, I have no experience with Neptunia so I am unfamiliar with the similarities.

The overall feel of the game is just like Neptunia, the UX in particular is pretty similar, as such took me no time to get use to the UI of the game. Heck even some of the enemies uses the same models (not complaining though). With all that said, there are some major difference to the mechanics of the game, particularly in the combat, being having the HDD mode replaced which potiental changed the way you would play out the combat in Fairy Fencer. If you enjoy games like Hyperdimension Neptunia, then maybe you would want to give this a try too.
