Due for release on the PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5 and Windows PC via Steam early in 2023, Neptunia: Sisters Vs Sisters is the latest spin-off game in Compile Heart’s long-running Neptunia franchise. Focusing on the CPU Candidates Nepgear (Based on the SEGA Gamegear), Uni (Based on PlayStation’s portable consoles), Rom and Ram (Based on the Nintendo DS line of consoles), the quartet will come into contact with a range of new characters. Western publisher Idea Factory International has shared summary profiles for some of these characters, available below:
Maho
A cheerful, carefree child of the modern age, Maho is never seen without her smartphone in hand.
Anri found her collapsed in an abandoned Planeptune suburb while fleeing the calamity on the PC continent.
A skilled software developer, Maho has been working with Anri to create observation equipment to discover the source of the Trendi Outbreaks.
Anri
A mathematically minded software engineer from the PC Continent, Anri is calm, collected, and always informed.
After fleeing the calamity that took her home, she took refuge in Planeptune with the other survivors.
Anri acts as friend and guardian to Maho, ever worrying over her carefree companion.
Together they’re investigating the cause of the Trendi Outbreaks.
Grey Sister
A mysterious, unknown Goddess. She seals Nepgear and the other Candidates inside of a sleep chamber in a hidden research facility, from which they were not uncovered for several years.
Higurashi
A warm and friendly girl from the PC Continent. Higurashi is on a mission to scour Planeptune for each and every bit of cute.
Declaring “Oh, so cute!” she will try to claim them all for herself, be they plushie or person.
Shanghai Alice
A refreshingly frank and down-to-earth girl from PC Continent. Shanghai Alice is kind to everyone, but never grants anyone special treatment.
Her visit to Nepgear’s nation was ruined by the destruction of the PC Continent and the Trendi Outbreaks that followed. She lives frugally and earns her living day-to-day.
In addition to the character profiles for Neptunia: Sisters VS Sisters, Idea Factory International has also shared a look at some newly introduced features to the game, most excitingly, a rather impressive looking photo mode.
Heartfelt Photo Mode
Take heartwarming photos with the characters! Choose your favorite angle, pose, and backgrounds to create hilarious and heartfelt moments!
Arena: Reach for the Top!
The arena is comprised of ranks ranging from F to S, each containing levels within them. Complete a 3-round battle to progress to the next level. When you reach the highest level in a given rank, a promotion battle will occur. By winning these promotion battles, users will gain access to the next rank, where stronger enemies await. As you advance in rank, you will be rewarded with items and equipment that will be useful in your adventures.
The arena also features a training mode, where you can fight any encountered enemy at your leisure. Study their patterns and behaviours so you’ll be ready to rumble next time you face them in a real fight!
Neptral Tower: Limitless Dungeon
The Neptral Tower dungeon is unlocked as you progress through the story. The goal of each floor is to find the gate that leads you to the next level, ultimately climbing all the way to the 100th floor. Be sure to prepare yourself properly! You can neither save nor leave freely, and safe areas are a rare treat indeed in these dicey halls.
A powerful foe awaits you on every 10th floor, and the only way forward is to step right over their perished bodies. Not all is grim news, however, in addition to the boss, you may just find a place to lay your weary head. Safe areas are also located on these floors.
Those willing to brave the Neptral Tower, may be rewarded with rare weapons and gear they won’t soon be spotting in any store! Defeating powerful foes and scavenging for rare gear is a great way to further strengthen your party for the battles ahead!
