Neptunia Unlimited confirmed the return of the Sisters along with more gameplay details

Compile Heart has published a new information batch for Choushinjikuu Game Neptune Unlimited that confirms the return of more characters from prior series entries, including the CPU Goddess Candidates that are based on portable consoles like the PSP and DS. The company has also updated the game's official website with summaries of the game's battle and flight systems.

The main highlights of today's reveal are the confirmed returns of Nepgear, Uni, Rom, and Ram as playable characters. Each of them can still transform to their respective Goddess forms, and just like the other returning Goddesses (Noir, Blanc & Vert), they will also appear with new outfits.

In addition, the character list also confirmed the returns of Histoire, I.F., and Compa as key story characters.

We have also translated the gameplay system details from the Japanese website, which you can find right below. Choushinjikuu Game Neptune Unlimited will be available first in Japan for Nintendo Switch 1&2 and Sony PlayStation 4&5 on August 27. Idea Factory has still yet to confirm an English localization for Neptunia Unlimited as of this writing.

Battle System

The battle system in this game will be mainly focused on units battling after they have transformed into Goddesses. You can enjoy impactful battles filled with sense of speed, and from the beginning of a battle the characters can instantly turn into Goddesses and beat enemies with overwhelming power.

• Goddess Transformation
  You can initiate it with a single button anytime, both in dungeons and in battles. The characters can keep on fighting as Goddesses until either their HP gets depleted to 0, or the player cancels them manually.
   
• Combo Skill
  Characters will fight by using Combo Skills as regular attacks. There is no need for complex controls to unleash Combo Skills! By just mashing a single button, you can enjoy exhilarating battles where combos are getting chained! When a character is in her Goddess mode, after launching Battle Combo 3 times, she can unleash a Finish Combo to deal massive damage to enemies!
   
• Tactical Skill
  Character-exclusive skills that can be unleashed with a single button. They can be unleashed anytime by spending the Tactical Gauge, which fills over time or by landing Combo Skills on enemies. You can also connect a Combo Skill to a Tactical Skill. 
   
• Tactical Link
  The currently controlled character's Tactical Gauge can be spent to summon allies nearby the targeted enemy and provide assist with their Tactical Skills. You can also chain combos while receiving assists. Using Tactical Links will also raise the Damage Rate, which increases the damage dealt during combos.
   
• Trigger Skill
  A special skill with unique effects; each character only has one of this skill. Effects will vary from offensive enhancements to defensive and supportive ones. Some of the examples are as follows:
  Neptune / Purple Heart: Nep Entry - Gets closer to an enemy with high speed
  Ciel / Blue Heart: Adaptive Impact - Becomes temporarily invincible and launches a slash attack
  Blanc / White Heart: Kettefonin Teresa - Temporarily takes control of all enemy targets in range
  Vert / Green Heart: Micro Veil - Applies guaranteed critical rate for allies in range
   
• Exe Drive
  A powerful finisher move unique to each character that can be unleashed by spending the separately filled Exe Drive Gauge. You can deal massive damage to all enemies while watching an exclusive scene!
   
• Doomsday Resistance Battle
  All 11 Goddesses will join the fight against the gigantic Doomsday Bosses, such as the Storm Shark.
   
• Doomsday Skill
  A large-scale special attack that will be launched by a Doomsday Boss. When certain conditions are fulfilled, they can do special activities like summoning a lot of meteorites or changing their weak points. Each boss has their own unique rules, so the battle will develop into intellectual battles that rely on strategies!
   
• Doomsday Counter Skill
  A skill that each character can use only once in a Doomsday Resistance Battle. All of them are very powerful; you can either use them on an opportunistic chance to overwhelm the boss, or during a pinch to reverse the situation.

Flight System

• Towards an adventure of "flight" together with allies!
  The Goddesses can soar around the skies as they like! There will also be enemies that gimmicks that make use of the airborne status. Soar through the skies towards a new adventure!
   
• High-speed flights with Air Dash!!
  Characters can perform high-speed flights with Air Dash while flying! You can fly even faster in the now-vast fields!
   
• High places are now also easily explorable!
  Turning into Goddesses will let characters explore fields more conveniently! You can even easily take items located at high places!?
   
• Battles against airborne enemies
  Encountering an enemy while moving airborne in dungeon as a Goddess will trigger a battle as-is. During battles, the characters can stay airborne, allowing them to move freely in three dimensions.
   
• Go through 2 routes: Air and Ground!
  There will be gimmicks that make use of two available routes in the Air and on the Ground. You can try exploring many kinds of places.
   
• Goddess Transformation Prohibited Area
  Parts of a field will be areas where characters cannot transform into Goddesses. Although this makes them have to explore with a disadvantage, discovering the root cause will generate a chance to obtain a rare item!
