Neptunia: Sisters vs. Sisters - Digital Deluxe Edition

Neptunia Sisters vs. Sisters on Switch is a decent port if you're looking for Neptunia on the go, but there are much better home options available.

Sisters VS Sisters is a monotonous journey filled with repetition that plagues its level-design, combat encounters, and overarching structure.

Neptunia: Sisters VS Sisters is a great addition to the RPG genre. While the story feels a bit throwaway and won’t be as impactful as more recent Final Fantasy games or 2025 masterpiece Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, the gameplay is solid and unique. There’s a bit to dive into and the disc system allows for a lot of experimenting. Combat is easy to pick up but hard to master. If you’re looking for a new, unique, RPG to sink your teeth into, Neptunia: Sisters VS Sisters is a great choice.

It’s nice to see a Neptunia game (and particularly a Compile Heart title) make its way to Xbox platforms. I’ve always thought this series knew its audience and its audience know of it—you’ll know right away whether you like Neptunia: Sisters VS Sisters’ video game-themed world and characters and designs. Just keep in mind that you’ll be putting with a fairly weak RPG trapped in a time period where an overclocked GameCube was the hottest gadget on the market and Hannah Montana once had a presence at E3.

Neptunia Sisters VS Sisters is the franchise's debut on Xbox consoles, and it's also my debut in this world. I feel like I've been greeted with a cozy game, full of charismatic characters and references to games. But also with some of the best combat ever made. I leave this experience satisfied with what I found and wanting to eventually explore more of what the series has to offer. And I'm happy to know that the game is increasingly being ported to more platforms and I hope that the main games can arrive on Xbox one day.

Neptunia: Sisters VS Sisters has some stumbles on the Switch. The frame rate can drop, multiple endings are hard to find, and the intricacies of combat pass you by. But if you give the game a chance, you will find a story that occasionally moves you while entertaining you with light-hearted humour. It's not a story that stands out because it's special, but because it's easily accessible and funny. The game is inviting even if you haven't played other games in the franchise. You might have to work harder to understand and spend more time on the mechanics, but it's an adventure well worth the investment.

Neptunia: Sisters vs Sisters not only lives up to the expectations of Neptunia series enthusiasts but also appeals to fans of action RPGs seeking a quirky and humorous story. The game’s abundance of content, multiple endings, and a photo mode ensure ample replay value, making it a delightful and memorable experience that elicits laughter, tears, and cheers for the Goddess Candidates. The narrative depth adds an extra layer of emotional resonance, making Neptunia: Sisters vs Sisters a truly great experience.

Neptunia Sisters vs Sisters on Nintendo Switch is a good port, and it runs the game well. I do think it warrants the same score as the base game for some of the new party members. I would still recommend it on PC or PS5 for less loading and pauses in gameplay.

If the game caught your attention, whether for its dynamic combat, catchy music, or the franchise's charisma itself, I'm sure Sister VS Sister won't disappoint! Now, for players familiar with the franchise, Sister VS Sisters is very close to being the best spin-off we can get while we wait for the next game in the main franchise—an easy recommendation!

Neptuinia Sisters Vs Sisters feels more accomplished and, dare I say, more grown up than any of the other games I’ve played in the series. The humour remains as cutting and irreverent as ever, taking every opportunity to send up the video game industry and often hitting the mark. Likewise, the gameplay is just as repetitive, and although there is less of a grind this time around, I still felt fatigued after playing through some of the levels. At this point, Idea Factory certainly knows what they are doing when it comes to the series, and with over a decade developing Neptunia, they are still finding ways to surprise and delight players. I’d have preferred more varied environments to explore, though there are signs that future titles will look to take cues from the groundwork laid here. What took me by surprise is that the story is a more genuinely mature (and not lewd) affair, for a series that has often leaned on the fanservice aspect to hide its shortcomings and did make for an enjoyable experience.
