Offering a new channel through which to enjoy the Hyperdimension Neptunia series, western publisher Idea Factory International have announced that all three of their Re;Birth PC ports are now available for purchase through the Twitch Desktop App. You can also purchase these while watching someone else plays the game, by pressing the purchase button displayed during a stream.
Hyperdimension Neptunia Re;Birth1, Hyperdimension Neptunia Re;Birth2: Sisters Generation and Hyperdimension Neptunia Re;Birth3: V Generation are currently available with a special launch discount price of $6.99 for a limited time. Each of these games also come with a set of Nep-inspired emotes and badges useable in Twitch.
New to the Hyperdimension Neptunia series? Each of these games take place in a world known as Gamindustri – a fantasy world which could be described as the “game industry come to life”. The world is primarily ruled by four nations, named after gaming consoles – LaStation (PlayStation), Lowee (Nintendo Wii), Leanbox (Xbox) and Planeptune (Sega Neptune). This may sound like a storyline gimmick, and to some level it is, but it has spawned many successful games, and in my opinion thrives off its game inspired stories and tropes. You can read more about each of the games below:
Hyperdimension Neptunia Re;Birth1
In the world of Gamindustri, four goddesses known as CPUs battled for supremacy in the War of the Guardians. One of the CPUs – Neptune – was defeated by the others and banished from the heavens. In her fall from grace, her memories were lost but a mysterious book reveals itself to Neptune with knowledge of all of Gaminudstri’s history. Joined by Compa, IF, and the sentient book known as Histoire, Neptune embarks on an extraordinary journey across four different nations on a quest to save the entire world!
Hyperdimension Neptunia Re;Birth2: Sisters Generation
Gamindustri has been taken over by a new threat, and the CPUs are nowhere to be found! It’s now up to their younger sisters to step into the spotlight and save the day in this hilarious, deeply customizable JRPG!
Hyperdimension Neptunia Re;Birth3: V Generation
Lost in an alternate dimension, Neptune must collect enough shares to get back home. Sounds easy – except the Seven Sages want to rid Gamindustri of CPUs, including Neptune! Help defeat them and return her to her own world in this JRPG – or be stuck in the ’80s forever!
