* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: Even as a "noncanon" Neptunia game.
** Histoire, despite being major to almost all Neptunia games, does not show up. The appearance of the Candidates drives the question even further.
** The Other Oracles are missing from their posts too- [[FridgeBrilliance Which can be justified as the world map being used is based on Rebirth1]].
** Despite having Warechu appearing, there is no reference to Arfoire and Linda/Underling.

* TheCameo: IF, Compa, and Warechu [[spoiler:(until he's replaced by a cardboard cutout)]].



* DamnYouMuscleMemory: While developed by the same team, the control scheme for this is slightly different between this and ''Senran Kagura: Shinovi Versus'', meaning that switching between the two games means remembering that resetting the camera uses a different button (L in this, R in ''SV'').

The plot follows two Gamindustri journalists shadowing the CPUs and CPU Candidates as they complete various Quests to help out their respective nations, but the number of monsters seems to only be increasing, leading the entire group to band together to find the cause of this outbreak and, as Neptune would say, give them more time for napping and snacking.

The third spin-off game in the ''VideoGame/{{Neptunia}}'' series, ''Hyperdimension Neptunia U: Action Unleashed'' (''Chōjigen Action Neptune U'') is a game for the PlayStationVita and the first hack and slash entry in the series. It was developed by the same team that did ''[[VideoGame/SenranKagura Senran Kagura: Shinovi Versus]]''.

The plot follows two Gamindustri journalists shadowing the CPUs and CPU Candidates as they complete various Quests to help out their respective nations, but the number of monsters seems to only be increasing, leading the entire group to band together to find the cause of this outbreak and, as Neptune would say, give them more time for napping and snacking.

* BFG: Black Sister's weapon of choice, which she fires ''one-handed''!
* BigBad: [[spoiler:The Next-Gen Mech]].
* BladeOnAStick: Vert's weapon of choice, as usual.

* KatanasAreJustBetter: Neptune's primary weapon choice.
* KillItWithFire: Ram's primary attacks until she transforms.
* OOCIsSeriousBusiness: PlayedForLaughs with Blanc adopting her "Blanny-Blanny-Bii" (simply "Blan-chan" in Japanese) persona.

* ShoutOut: To the ''Neptunia'' anime of all things when IF laments that Neptral Tower wasn't 10,000 stories tall.
