Cyberdimension Neptunia: 4 Goddesses Online (四女神オンライン CYBER DIMENSION NEPTUNE, Yon Megami Onrain CYBER DIMENSION NEPTUNE, lit. Four Goddesses Online: CYBER DIMENSION NEPTUNE) is an action RPG. Despite the title, the game is a single-player game with an online cooperative multiplayer option. This is the first Neptunia game to use Unreal Engine 4,^[2] as well as the first spin-off game to be released on the PlayStation 4 rather than the PlayStation Vita.

Story

—Gamindustri.

A world that exists in a dimension separate from our own, where the Four Goddesses protect and rule over their respective nations.

The Goddesses Neptune, Noire, Blanc, and Vert, who have saved the world from danger countless times, were selected to be beta testers for the new version of a certain online game...

[4 Goddesses Online]

It is a super-popular title that utilizes Gamindustri's Goddesses as official models.

The stage of the story is set within a fantasy world, surrounded by verdant and gorgeous ocean, known as Alsgard.

Logging into the game world, the four CPUs meet with the Guardian Spirit, the guide to all adventurers, Bouquet. They discover that they are the Chosen Ones tasked with the mission of reviving the Goddesses of legend, and that Alsgard is under the looming threat of the villainous Demon King.

In order to create new friendships...

In order to meet their virtual selves...

In order to save the world from destruction...

And... in order to finally get a younger sister...

With these wishes compiling in their hearts, the Goddesses journey into the Cyberdimension!

Trivia

The game has the same title as Vert's favorite MMO, Four Goddesses Online.
This game is similar to many "MMO trapped" franchises like .hack// and Sword Art Online.
The game was the third best-selling video game in Japan during its debut week, selling 42,508 copies.^[6]
Due to a video game voice actor strike, Erin Fitzgerald has confirmed she will not voice Noire in the English version. Erica Mendez has replaced her role in this and all future games.^[7]
It should be noted that while she doesn't appear in the game, Setag can be heard speaking to Vert on the phone in one scene. This can be confirmed to be her as she ends the sentence with her verbal tic "biru" (which was translated as "bing" in the English dub of the anime). This make it the first time she is confirmed to be in the game universe.
A strange error happened when players tried to purchase the Steam version on its first few hours on sale which is being unable to purchase the game as it would require purchasing Senran Kagura: Peach Beach Splash, which was unavailable to Steam until March 8.
- This is probably related to Neptune's appearance to the game as a DLC guest character.
While they don't physically appear, all members of the Gold Third appear through speaking dialogue in four of Black Cat Princess' chirper events.
This game is the first game to be released since Superdimension Neptune VS Sega Hard Girls in 2015.
This game is the first spin-off game to be released on PlayStation 4.
This game is currently the last game in the series to use the "[noun or prefix]dimension Neptunia" format for its localized title.
