Super Neptunia RPG is only a month or so away from launching on Switch and to get fans hyped for its release, Idea Factory has shared a huge batch of new battle screenshots and more details to tell us more about the game.
Let's start off with the new info, which talks us through how Elements, your Goddess Form, and Break Attacks can all play a role in battle:
Elements: Skills have an Elemental type that can affect the damage that enemies and allies take. With a total of 9 Elements, players will need to prepare and set their skills accordingly to defeat any foe. An enemy can react to elements in three different ways: Weak, Absorb, and Resist. Players should note that if the elemental match-up is unfavorable, you can end up dealing zero damage, or even healing the enemy.
Goddess Form: Players can transform their CPUs into their Goddess Form when the Goddess Gauge is filled. The Goddess Gauge will increase as your CPU take damage from an enemy during battle. Transforming into their Goddess Form will change your CPU's appearance and also increase their stats.
Break Attacks: Each character can perform a character-specific special attack known as a Break Attack. Before you can cast your Break Attack, players will need to fill their Break Gauge, which increases every time you deal damage to an enemy. Once a slot is filled, players can pick one character to unload their Break Attack.
And now for the screenshots. It's worth noting that these images are actually taken from the PS4 version of the game so you might notice one or two slight differences when you play it on Switch.
The game is scheduled to launch physically and digitally in North America on 25th June, and in Europe on 28th June. If you want to learn more, make sure to check out our previous coverage which contains more screenshots and a list of key features for the game.

Still on the fence about this one. I think I want it but it doesn't help that it's coming out in a pretty busy period of games and on the same day as Super Mario Maker 2.
@BenAV Furthermore, the Japanese release was rather buggy according to various reports. Still, I think I will buy it just to support IF on the switch.
@tech7 Yeah, I did hear something along those lines which is partly why I'm on the fence. Got most of the other upcoming games that I'm interested in pre-ordered and ready to go but holding off for now with this.
Pre-ordered it a while ago, Neptunia games are mostly fun but this one is design wise very different from the previous ones, that was the reason to directly pre-order it.
I'm considering picking this up. I've been curious about this series for a while, seeing a game appear on Switch, I think I'm going to check it out. Looking forward to playing it.
Looks like I am buying 2 games that day!
Is this a real rpg, I mean in length and story wise or is it from an indie, which makes this a short game
@30mm not sure, is it turn bssed?
@IHateTombs I would like to see a port of the Re, Birth games (and VII) on the switch. Now that the vita is mostly dead. And of course a new main line entry.
Never played any of the series, but always thought it could be interesting to check out. I'm not sure if this is the game to check it out though.
@Joe-b rly don’t know, will check on YouTube.
I still yearn for the day this series goes back to how mk2 on PS3 was with its battle system and mechanics without forcing us to go through menus just to execute an attack, plus with New Game Plus mode and no inventory limit.
