5Oh, and they ''love'' torturing you with their games forcing you to use [[GuideDangIt guides.]] Also known for game breaking [[DownloadableContent DLC]] by giving you an overpowered weapon at the beginning of the game. A lot of the characters in their games tend to be dorky or downright {{Moe}} to a degree. They are best known for their ''VideoGame/{{Neptunia}}'' series, which has become a CashCowFranchise.

89!! Tropes common to Compile Heart works
90
91* {{Bowdlerize}}: Since many Compile Heart games involve copious amounts of {{Fanservice}}, some of their earlier work such as the ''Mugen Souls'' duology saw content cut out of fear that the games would be slapped with an age rating that would make it nearly-impossible to sell in international markets. After ''Monster Monpiece'' saw numerous cards censored, Idea Factory's international branch went on record to say that they would never again localize a game that requires censorship. After that policy was established, Compile Heart games were not altered for fanservice reasons -- until 2018, when Sony decided to take a more active role in regulating content on their platform. Every game slated to be localized at that point except the first ''Death end re;Quest'' saw a handful of images changed; additionally, ''Death end re;Quest 2'' and ''Mary Skelter Finale'' saw changes to some character designs even in Japan.
92* DarkerAndEdgier: While Compile Heart has never shied away from dark moments (the "Conquest" ending of ''Hyperdimension Neptunia mk2'' being an infamous example), the latter 2010s brought a number of dark games from them. Examples include ''Trillion: God of Destruction'' (a war-of-attrition-based BossGame where you get to know the female characters before sending them to their likely graves), ''Mary Skelter'' (a creepy FracturedFairyTale-based dungeon crawler that gets increasingly bleak with each entry), and ''Death end re;Quest'' (extremely violent [=RPGs=] focused on TheManyDeathsOfYou).
93* {{Fanservice}}: It might be more difficult to name a Compile Heart game that ''doesn't'' have at least one sexy scene.
94* GuideDangIt: Often times, the requirements for each game's GoldenEnding is incredibly obtuse and/or {{Permanently Missable|Content}}.
95* NewWorkRecycledGraphics: There is very gratuitous reuse of enemies, areas, and other graphical assets between many Compile Heart games.
96* SuperMode: Many games feature transformed modes where the characters deal more damage, including [=HDD=] in ''Neptunia'', Fairize in ''Fairy Fencer F'', Massacre Mode in ''Mary Skelter'', and Glitch Mode in ''Death end re;Quest''.
