Gameplay

In Super Neptunia RPG, the player travels a horizontal world of dungeons, cities, and more. In cities, players can buy and sell items and weapons, accept and report quests, and enter different buildings. In dungeons, monsters are roaming and treasure boxes containing items are hidden. Touching a monster begins a battle, which can be conducted with up to 4 party members. As time passes, Action Points (AP) will accumulate, and each character can use AP in order to activate their Skills. Skills have an Elemental type, and it affects the damage that enemies and allies take. Damaging enemies with the element to which they are weak will recover AP.

The game's playable characters are Gamindustri's 4 CPUs (Neptune, Noire, Blanc and Vert), their HDD forms (Purple Heart, Black Heart, White Heart and Green Heart) and a new character named Chrome. Additional characters IF, Compa and Artisan (also a new character) are playable with a paid DLC.[4]
