Neptunia Riders vs Dogoos looks crazy

Written by Ross Locksley on 09 Oct 2024



So, this is a thing apparently. Neptunia Riders VS Dogoos features your favourite Neptunia characters. On Bikes. And versus Dogoos. The game will be released on January 28th for PS4, PS5 and Nintendo Switch and the official Neptunia vs Dogoos site is now live, where you can find game details, trailers and pre-order information.

In true Neptunia fashion, there's a plethora of physical editions to pick through;

The Day One Edition, retailing at £54.99, grants you a special box, cloth poster and a set of postcards.

The Magazine Edition, which retails for £59.99 is far more generous for the extra £5, featuring:

  • Physical game
  • Nepbike Magazine Art Book (64 pages)
  • Poster set (5 fold-out posters)
  • Nepbike Sticker Set (28 stickers)
  • Official Soundtrack (10 tracks)
  • Reversible Cover Sleeve
  • Exclusive Trading Card
  • Download code for the Neptunia Riders
  • VS Dogoos Costume Set* (1x costume
  • per set for Uzume Neptune, Noire, Blanc,
  • Vert, 15x total)
  • * Swimsuit Costume
  • * Apocalyptic Costume
  • * Race Queen Costume

Neptunia vs Dogoos

While the trailer doesn't illuminate much, it might just give you nightmares:

Initial impressions are that the areas look a little on the bland side, but Neptunia has always been about gameplay (and probably hot girls) more than presentation, so hopefully the game will be a blast to play. 

From the Press Release:

Dogoo Day Care
Choose from 6 playable characters, scour the land on your trusty bike, and collect as many variants of Dogoos as possible to win! As players progress through 15 Dogoo-filled stages, Uzume must find a way to snap her friends out of their weird fascination with Dogoos!

The Dogoo Bounty Hunter
Collecting Dogoos can be a cinch, but stealing Dogoos is a whole 'notha ball game! Certain characters shine more in close combat, while others excel in long-range attacks. Find the strengths (and weaknesses, of course!) to become a true Dogoo bounty hunter!

These Dogoos Do Bike Back
As squishy and adorable as these Dogoos are, some can be quite the menace. Each Dogoo has specific types of behaviours, as well as positive/negative effects when collecting them. By learning the positive and negative effects of the Dogoos, you can use them to your advantage and even throw the nasty ones to your opponent!

Stunt Your Bike
Want to show off your ride in the next bike meet? Impress (or scare?) Dogoos by altering the bike's body, muffler, tires, and other accessories! These customisations can give the Goddesses increased defense, max speed, acceleration, and even manoeuvrability. These upgrades can ultimately give you the winning edge!
