Megatagmension Blanc + Neptune VS Zombies
Megatagmension Blanc + Neptune VS Zombies
Megatagmension Blanc + Neptune VS Zombies, développé par Compile Heart, Tamsoft et Idea Factory et édité par Idea Factory, est sorti le 15 octobre 2015 sur PC (Microsoft Windows) et PlayStation Vita. Ce jeu de type hack 'n' slash / beat 'em up place l'action dans la prestigieuse Gamicademi, une école de gloire déclinante où Blanc et ses amies décident de tourner un film de zombies sur le campus avant que de véritables zombies n'apparaissent et ne les obligent à les combattre. Les joueurs peuvent affronter des hordes de zombies en 1080p avec un système de tag-team à deux personnages et enchaîner des combos, ou s'associer avec jusqu'à trois autres joueurs en ligne pour des quêtes multijoueurs mises à jour quotidiennement. Plusieurs personnages comme Plutia, Peashy, Uzume et Tamsoft rejoignent le combat avec leurs propres styles, et l'équipement ainsi que les accessoires sont personnalisables. La durée principale est estimée à six heures et le temps pour tout compléter à environ vingt heures et demie. Le jeu est protégé par le DRM Steam et proposé au prix de 14,79 euros, avec une note agrégée de 70,29.
L'accueil critique est mitigé : la presse a salué le fait que Digitally Downloaded décrive Tamsoft comme étant parti sur un brief clairement orienté fanservice, tandis que Game Over Online y voit une bonne entrée dans la série au scénario quasi vierge. Certains joueurs sur Metacritic expriment en revanche une forte déception, allant jusqu'à qualifier le titre de pire opus de la série ou de copie inférieure à Hyperdimension Neptunia U, bien que d'autres sur Steam reconnaissent un jeu dérivé amusant mais frustrant, avec douze chapitres et une histoire correcte.

Avis des critiques et joueurs
Critiques de la Presse (Metacritic)
« Tamsoft went into this one with a clear brief to do something heavily fanservicey, and even by comparison to its work on Action Unleashed, MegaTagmension certainly achieves that. »
« It’s a fine starter entry for the series too since the plot is essentially a blank slate, so if you haven’t tried it out yet, give MegaTagmension a shot. »
« MegaTagmension Blanc + Neptune VS Zombies may not be the best game in the Neptunia series, but it is certainly the quickest paced and most action packed of any title. »
« In other words, MegaTagmension Blanc + Neptune VS Zombies ultimately works because, like the other Hyperdimension Neptunia spin-offs, it takes the series' formula and applies it to something new. »
« This is a great sequel for those who liked Hyperdimension Neptunia U. It still is far from perfect, but it is indeed fun and very enjoyable. »
« If you're looking for an introduction to the beat 'em up genre, look no further - as MegaTagmension Blanc + Neptune VS Zombies is a prime choice for just that very purpose. That said, anyone else may have a hard time finding a challenge, and the story just isn't all that cohesive or memorable. »
« A very fun experience for the musou genre fans, and a deep game with an extremely small. »
« Megatagmension Blanc + Neptune VS Zombies features the same formula that meant a success for its previous installment. If it works, don’t change it. »
Avis des Joueurs (Metacritic)
« Easily the worst game in the series. Avoid it if possible, if not, kill with fire before it breeds. »
« This plays the same as hyperdimension neptunia U, and to be honest, the U was a better game, but not by far, the story is really bad, but i couldn't help to get this one because i'm a nep fan. You still can get some hours out of it and i just recommend to get it if you find it really cheap (maybe $5-10 dollars)... »
« [SPOILER ALERT: This review contains spoilers.] »
« Despite being a mix of two very cliche plots rolled into one MegaTagmension Blanc is perhaps one of the most fun and exciting games in the series. When it comes to the exciting high speed speed battle this game is leagues ahead of Neptunia Action Unleashed. While the story is simple it hold up through the entire game and feels like it has purpose being in the game. Also with the multiplayer mode you can enjoy the game over over and over with your friends giving it more of a replay value than Neptunia Action Unleashed. MegaTagmension Blanc is a huge step in the right direction when it comes to the spin off titles in the series. A must have addition to any Neptunia fans PSVita or Steam collection. »
« MegaTagmension Blanc + Neptune vs Zombies is somehow a worse version of HYPERDIMENSION NEPTUNIA U: Action Unleashed. Menu navigation is a pain due to slow transistions between screen and load times when going through the character setup screen. The UI issues also extend to the game’s battles where the game does not in anyway inform you when your abilities (activated by holding R+one of the face buttons) comes off cooldown, leading to your character of choice being stuck guarding. While the game does have a large cast of playable character ranging from longtime fan favorites to new additions to the Neptunia multiverse the game punishes you for using more than a small number of them. If you try and use all of the characters evenly you’ll quickly find that you are far underleveled for the enemies you’re facing in later chapters. Pick two characters whose play styles you like and just stick with them throughout the story mode. I would heavily suggest taking Vert and Ram/Rom since these three have the best combination of abilities to deal with both large hordes of enemies and smaller groups or 1v1 boss fights. The only consistently good part of MegaTagmension Blanc + Neptune vs Zombies is the cutscenes between action stages. All the referential and pun focused humor seen in other Neptunia games is here and is as enjoyable as it ever was. If you bring certain characters for a mission you can even get a different version of the scene that plays before the action stage. If you are in dire need of an action focused Neptunia game then pass this one by and get HYPERDIMENSION NEPTUNIA U: Action Unleashed instead. While there is less story in Neptunia U the gameplay is far better in every respect. »
« At first battles in story mode as they become shorter and more visual novel . But the multiplayer system is very good and each character has a different mechanics to adapt to situations that gives you the game »
« Fans of the Neptunia franchise can rest assured. If you're into Neptunia games and musou games then this is a decent purchase. It has an interesting story, and captures the essence of fighting. »
« It's a typical spin-off Neptunia game (what do we even call them anymore?) with the usual silly crazy dialog stuff. The gameplay is musou and is an improved upon the system of Action U, with a better story arch and battles are much shorter where the longest battles by far are those of the bosses. As such the grinding of Action U is none present in this game. The online mode is also very good, where this is where you go for longevity after you complete the main story. Different bosses also have different weaknesses towards different weapon types (or even require them to take parts off in order for others to do damage, like shells), so some of the hardest bosses require teamwork which kinda makes the online a semi-MMO experience, or much like Toukiden/Monster Hunter, where you talk to others through emotes/pre recorded messages (and there is A LOT of them). In short, if you like Neptunia games and musou games then this is a decent purchase. It may not be as flawless as Senran Kagura, Hyrule or Dynasty Warriors in gameplay, but it is good enough to keep you interested throughout the story, and the late game boss fight mechanics is entertaining once you've finished the main content if you still feel like sticking around. »
