Pros
Pro Cute story told backwards with an unexpected happy ending
The main story is actually told backwards, ala the movie Memento. While not the most original concept, still a cool way to tell a story. In the end there is quite the happy ending that will result in many tears being shed.
Pro Well written characters
As the story progresses the characters attitudes and emotions change in response to the ever evolving story. This makes fro what is a very well written game that makes the story and characters seem genuinely real.
Pro Tons of fan service
For those that are fans of the Neptunia franchise, Action Unleashed should be appeal quite nicely. While not a main franchise game (this is a spin off made by a different studio), the game retains all the fan service one would want in a Neptunia game. Plenty of inside jokes and familiar references.
Cons
Con Gameplay is lackluster
The actual gameplay of the game consists of tile flipping and a few other mini type games.
Con Too short
Averaging play at around 4 hours to complete the game is quite short, good thing there are a bunch of free DLCs released that extend the gameplay.
Con Weak plot
The plot of the game is no one of the series best, while this is a side game not pertinent to the main franchise, it would have been nice to see a stronger story.
