Gameplay

In Super Neptunia RPG, you wander a horizontal world made of multiple beautiful dungeons, cities, and more.
In cities, you can buy and sell items and weapons, accept and report quests, talk to PNJs, and enter different buildings.

In dungeons, monsters are roaming and treasure boxes containing items are hidden. When you touch a monster, a battle will begin. If you can land a symbol attack on the monster, you can start the battle with a slight advantage. You can fight with up to 4 party members. As time passes, your AP (Action Points) will accumulate, and each character can use AP in order to activate their Skills. Skills have an Elemental type, and it affects the damage that enemies and allies take. If you damage enemies with the element they're weak to, your AP will recover as a bonus, and you can progress the battle smoothly. It's important to learn enemy weaknesses in order to gain the advantage in battle. When the HDD Gauge has filled, you can transform into HDD mode for a stats boost.

Characters

The game's playable characters are : Gamindustri's 4 CPUs (Neptune, Noire, Blanc and Vert), their HDD forms (Purple Heart, Black Heart, White Heart and Green Heart) and a new character named Chrome.
IF, Compa and Artisan (also a new character) are playable with a paid DLC.[4]

Super Neptunia RPG also introduced new non-playable characters : Filyn, Paix St. Gliss, Artura Arrima, and Ester Zira.
Histoire, a character from previous Neptunia games, is in Super Neptunia RPG but isn't playable.
