* DropTheHammer: Segami's weapon of choice for her physical attacks.

''Superdimension Neptune Vs Sega Hard Girls'' is the fifth spin-off title in the ''Franchise/{{Neptunia}}'' series starring IF and OriginalGeneration character Hatsumi Sega (or Segami, as she's called by the others) in a Crossover RPG between the ''Neptunia'' world and the Characters/SegaHardGirls franchise. It was developed by Felistella, who worked on the ''Re;Birth'' games, and released on the UsefulNotes/PlaystationVita on November 26, 2015 in Japan and in October 2016 in North America and Europe. The game was released on the Steam platform on June 12, 2017.

* AdaptationDyeJob: In the European release, to match how [[UsefulNotes/SegaDreamcast the console she's based on]] had a different logo in that region, Dreamcast's outfit is mainly blue instead of orange.

* BonusBoss: Delphinus.

* {{Macrogame}}: Levels, Class Levels, and Skills are carried over to each new loop. It's also required to fight the BonusBoss.

** Unlocking IF's Ninja class has Neptune cheer her on with [[Film/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtlesIISecretOfTheOoze "Go ninja, go ninja, go!"]]

** Unlocking IF's Ninja class has Neptune cheer her on with [[Film/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles "Go ninja, go ninja, go!"]]

* BareYourMidriff: IF's new outfit in this game does just that.

* PantyShot: Segami as the field leader + short skirt + entering a crawlspace = this.

* DangerouslyShortSkirt: Segami wears a miniskirt and runs, jumps, climbs, and fights as well as IF can.

While out adventuring in her CrapsackWorld, IF comes across the Great Library, said to contain records on the history of the world. At the same time, a girl (Segami) falls from the sky and is saved by IF. Inside the library itself, the two learn from this world's Histoire that history is disappearing, and thus the two team up to travel back in time to determine the cause, with IF trying to avoid creating a paradox, while Segami is a little more open to the idea of rewriting history.

* AfterTheEnd: The present time, with most things in ruins, blackened lands, pretty much no vegetation, and not much in terms of culture present, going by IF's comment. The long, constant battles between the Goddesses and the Hard Girls really does a number on the world, which could be seen clearly when traveling between different eras. In fact, IF never heard of Goddesses or the Hard Girls at all until she traveled into the past.
* AlienGeometry: The portion of the Grand Library that the Time Eater is destroying is this if the background art is anything to go by.

* AndTheAdventureContinues: Once the Time Eater is defeated IF leaves the library to explore the world some more. [[spoiler:In the Normal Ending bike Neptune joins her, and in the True Ending ''everyone'' returns to play]].

** Need to know where a specific monster or drop can be located? The Quest menu includes a search option that reveals where the particular monster/item can be found provided the player has at least unlocked said dungeon.

** If you get the Normal Ending you have the option to go back to before you fought the Time Eater, so you don't have to start all over or have another save ready.

* BitchInSheepsClothing: Segami. She's made to this since she's shown to prevent useless battles from happening. Although, [[TookALevelInCheerfulness she does get better later on in the game.]]

** All of the goddesses and Sega Hard Girls have to return to their respective eras in both the Normal and True Ending. [[spoiler: [[SubvertedTrope Until they all get bored and come to IF's era to play after a couple days in the True Ending.]]]]

* CantTakeCriticism: When IF and Segami told Neptune that she's weak, Neptune doesn't take criticism well because she likes to think that she's the ultimate protagonist.

* DemonicPossession: Both [[spoiler:Sega Saturn and Iris Heart have to be fought while possessed by the Time Eater.]]

* EarnYourBadEnding: To get the Bad Ending you have to defeat the Time Eater the first time you face it. To do so either requires a massive amount of grinding on your first playthrough or fighting it in NewGamePlus with a sufficiently leveled party.

* FriendlyEnemy: Nepgear and Game Gear are this with each other as they have no desire to actually fight. [[spoiler:They're drawn into battle when their supporters- who are possessed by the Time Eater- rally both sides into a frenzy.]]

* GroundhogDayLoop: Eventually the group falls into pattern of arrive at library, do quests, challenge Time Eater and lose, and repeat.

* HopelessBossFight: The first fight against the Time Eater is most likely hopeless on your first playthrough. Unless you grind it is much more powerful and can make short work of your party.

* MultipleEndings: There are Bad, Normal, and True endings and which one you get is determined by when the Time Eater is defeated in the story.
* NiceMeanAndInbetween: Nepgear is the Nice one since she treats Bike Neptune well due to her being a fan of robots and machines. Segami is the Closest-to-Mean one due to her getting into arguments with IF when Segami's trying to stop the Sega Hard Girls from starting fights. Although, underneath it all, she's not necessarily that bad. IF is the In-between one since she mediates between the two. She's the most [[OnlySaneMan laid-back and level-headed character]] in the game, although, she sometimes [[SanitySlippage loses her sanity]] when she has to deal with Segami.

* OhCrap: Everyone upon realizing that they have to fight ''[[TheDreaded Iris Heart]]''. Or just her being present, really. [[spoiler:Turns into a SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome for Mega Drive when she, trying to determine if she actually has problem with Iris Heart or not, ask Plutia to transform when they're in the library. Everyone else freaks out...but Mega Drive just states that she doesn't really have strong feeling towards her, including asking if Iris Heart feels the same (which proves interesting as back in the main timeline she has massive problems toward Iris Heart). This actually makes Iris Heart comment about Mega Drive being a [[MomentKiller buzzkill]] and transforms back.]]

* ResetButton: Should the party lose to the Time Eater, Segami rewinds them to before they first arrive at the library.

** A [[TearJerker sadder running gag]] is that in every era that is someone saying they need medicine for a sick family member (except for the Deer Girl who [[SuspiciouslySpecificDenial denies she is intending to sell the medicine]]) and a couple of people saying they can feel someone they love close-by but are sad they will likely never get to meet them.

* ScrewThisImOuttaHere: Sums up [[spoiler:the Bad Ending as IF does not return to the Library to continue fixing history unlike the Normal Ending where that becomes an option.]]

* SkillSlotSystem: Each character has three slots they can use to equip moves or buffs, which can be increased to five by completing the appropriate quests.

* TemptingFate: Segami mentions that fighting [[spoiler: a Time Eater possessed]] Plutia would be a nightmare. Guess what happens a moment later?

* TimedMission: Played with. There's a countdown for each Quest that will cause the Time Eater to eat that piece of history and power up if the counter reaches 0. However challenging the Time Eater and losing resets the the timers and restores any quests lost for another shot at completing them.
* TimeyWimeyBall: The most egregious example is Neptune existing in two places at once: both in her bike form and in her playable humanoid form. bike Neptune even sticks around in multiple endings without any kind of paradox.

** Based on certain decisions that you make ([[spoiler:weather you side with the goddess or the Sega Hard Girl]]) you can avoid fighting with [[spoiler:Neptune (as Purple Heart) and Uzume]]. This does, however, mean that you [[spoiler:must fight their Sega Hard Girl counterpart twice]] as you go through the game. [[labelnote:Note]]This also means that you are locked out of their enteries in the Monster Info section of the Library until you get back to that particular event in New Game+ and choose the other option.[[/labelnote]]
*** To Explain: Early on in the Dreamcast Era [[spoiler:you encounter Dreamcast, who quickly and erroneously comes to the conclusion that the party are assassins sent by Uzume to kill her and decides to fight you.]] A few story-based events in the Era later sees Uzume and Dreamcast about to start fighting again, which is where you are asked to pick a side.
*** In the Sega Saturn Era, after witnessing the Time Eater completly devouring the Era, the party head back to the Era. Specifiacally, the point in time before Neptune and Saturn start fighting. It's here where you get to choose a side. [[spoiler:Later in the game, Saturn gets possessed by the Time Eater, forcing you to fight her to bring her back to normal, finally ending the conflict in the Era.]]
