 If you are a fan of the Hyperdimension Neptunia games, there is something about to sneak its way onto the PlayStation Vita that you should be prepared for. As of today, Idea Factory has announced that the newest chapter for the CPU goddess Noire is about to begin. Instead of being set within Gamindustri, this title is set in a new world known as “Gamarket”. Within it, Noire is just about a step away from complete and total domination of Gamarket when… They all lose their powers. As before, they were at war with one another once more to take over and now they must once more, team up to restore the Gamarket and stop the forces that are seeking to destroy it.

 Within the title we will see the former RPG series step away into a strategy RPG format where you will see them together as a squad in order to take out enemies in a way never seen before. This includes linking up with each other in the new “Lily System” in order to get “Lily Boosts”. These boost’s will enable characters to unlock new special stats, abilities, and even goddess transformations. As before, this title will allow players to build up the relationships between the characters and even explore them to see where they go. That’s while they aren’t having the goddesses dodge laser beams, avoid becoming a fireball from flaming pits, and well just dying in general from environments the enemy has become accustomed to.

 With this title players will be able to check stats, customize items in order to improve your character for all combat scenarios. Players can also just take Noire home away from all those battles and chill within her home thanks to the games new “Sim Noire”, which will allow players to customize her place with furniture and accessories using in-game points, which will let the character work on her social skills with her friends. That’s when she’s not busy just annihilating a battlefield grid for a good chuckle.
