Minimum on the Steam store: 4 GB of memory, 3 GB of storage. Windows only.

In this chibi-style* strategy role-playing game you'll amass an army of game-referencing allies, fight on trap-laden maps, and beef up Lily Rank for crazy damage. But look out for status ailments or you might be (literal) tofu! You ain't seen the Neptunia characters like this before!

The value story

The lowest price on record is $2.49, set in April 2019. 67 discounts in the 10 years on record. They run about 60 percent off, roughly 8 weeks apart.

On value it sits in the top 15 percent of its genre. It is pricier than 77 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 68 percent. Among the games that feel like it, Fuga: Melodies of Steel ($39.99, scores 69) beats it on value, while it beats Lost Eidolons ($34.99, scores 22).

Steam's global achievement data puts about 5 percent of players at this game's ending achievement. On a 22.3-hour game, the hours short of it still count in its price per hour. Of the 211 Steam-purchase reviews this site sampled, none come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written April 2020 to August 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 70 percent of the 192 reviews written there were positive, against 78 percent overall, and those are 23 percent of everything written about it.

The main story runs 22.3 hours. Doing everything runs 83, 3.7 times as long.

The drop-off

Steam counts fewer than one in ten of its players at the ending achievement. On a 22.3-hour game, that's a lot you pay for and may never use. Steam global achievements

What players say

Noire is a bad main heroine. Game should have been about Neptune. Dont get me wrong i like Noire, but, i think she is more fitting for the secondary roles.

i hate this game. good if you want to make out with noire, though. i'm more of a nep girl.

Hyperdevotion Noire: Goddess Black Heart is a tactical spin-off that shifts Neptunia into a grid-based strategy RPG with Noire as the lead. It keeps the franchise's light, self-aware tone, but the main appeal is seeing familiar characters filtered through a more methodical, turn-planning style of gameplay. If you like SRPGs and you already enjoy Neptunia's cast, it can be a pleasant change of pace. Battles play out...
