Hyperdimension Neptunia: EX Battle

***Hyperdimension Neptunia: EX Battle*** (超次元ゲイム ネプテューヌEX戦い, Chōjigen Geimu Neputyūnu EX Tatakai, lit. "Super Dimension Game Neptune: EX Battle") is a 2D crossover crossover fighting game, developed by Arc System Works , and published by Compile Heart and Idea Factory, with production assistance from Capcom, Type-Moon, Aniplex, Kyoto Animation, and Key. It was released on July 20, 2025 for PlaysStation 5 and Nintendo Switch.

The game commerating a 15th anniversary of the *Hyperdimension Neptunia* series, crossover with *Date A Live* and *Fairy Fencer F*.

Much like *Dragon Ball FighterZ*, it is involves the player picking a team of 3 playable characters and a unique assist for each, then fighting an AI or human opponent with their own team of 3 characters. The game received positive reviews from critics, who praised its gameplay, character roster, visuals and story mode, while criticizing its soundtrack and initial lack of online multiplayer support outside Japan. It is considered one of the best fighting games of all time as well as the best fighting games released in the eighth generation of video game consoles and became one of the fastest-selling entertainment product in history, earning US $500 million globally in its release day and 86 million copies were sold in its first month.

## Gameplay

Much like *Dragon Ball FighterZ* ,the control scheme and team mechanics are lifted from the *Marvel vs. Capcom* series and the overall presentation is reminiscent of other Arc System Works games. Players each select three characters to form a team, from an initial roster of characters from the *Neptunia* series (including Non-Neptunia such as Fairy Fencer F and Date A, Live). One character is controlled and can be switched with one of the other characters at any time. Players can also call one of their other characters to perform an "Assist" move, allowing simultaneous attacks and combos with the entire team. All three characters on the same team must be defeated for a player to win the game. If neither team has been defeated before the time runs out, the team that has sustained the least damage overall wins.

When characters have access to their alternate, stronger or full transformations, such as characters from *Hyperdimension Neptunia*, *Date A Live*, and *Fairy Fencer F*, they can be done via Resonance Blaze. Others are accessed instead through either Distortion or Astral Skills.
