Review by Brian Lee

Nothing much needs to be said here in how awesome Compile Heart's wonderful Neptune Re;Birth series is, the games being remade for the PS Vita shows how powerful this game series really is. All the characters are enjoyable, very moe, an their are very nice EVENTs and storylines are very well told. This is why Compile Heart is my favorite Japanese game developer. Their recent games from last year (Tokyo Clanpool/Gun Gun Pixies) for the PS Vita draws me even closer to more of the their newer titles. Hopeful that there will be more to come on the PS Vita/PS4!!

Wow, immediately, this game is very nice and it's the first game that I've played where the player is the protagonist. The game immediately reminds me of the ar tonelico series by Gust and is very fun. I love that the game also takes place during Ion's world time and your own world time, so I'll definitely be having lots of fun with this one as well! I'm looking forward to Diving (no pun intended, hahaha) deep into this game.

I immediately picked this game up and I was very impressed by it. It seems that each time you enter the dungeon (Black Tower?) Your map will show new sets of items and areas that you already explored and new paths that you uncovered, etc, and where hidden Precious/other items are located, such as treasure chests. The different gimmicks that are used in dungeon exploring, like breaking walls, autopilot to other areas in a hurry, etc are very well done. The battle system was a little confusing but I figured it out in a hurry. The attacks are very gorgeous!! And you can chain very nice combos and hit for very powerful damage, while aiming for the best rank (AA Rank?). You can leave the dungeon at anytime and get full Mission Report stats of how well you did during your trip through the Black Tower. This title is a very beautiful one and I plan on enjoying this for a very long time!
