DD: Hyperdimension Neptunia is clearly an important and commercially successful franchise for Compile Heart and Idea Factory. After three "main" JRPG releases on the PlayStation 3, ports of all three to the PlayStation Vita, and the first PC release in the franchise, we've also seen the publisher experiment with bringing the series to other genres, with an idol game already out in the market, and an action RPG on the way later this year. But we're here to talk about Hyperdevotion Noire, which takes the franchise on yet another tangent. Coming to us from the reliable Sting Entertainment (developers of the likes of Riviera, Baroque, and Knights in the Nightmare), Hyperdevotion Noire is a turn-based tactics JRPG, and while it might not be up to the standard of the genre greats like Fire Emblem, this latest effort does a great job in servicing fans and providing an entertaining, engaging game in its own right.
