MegaTagmension Blanc + Neptune vs Zombies (激次元タッグ ブラン+ネプテューヌVSゾンビ軍団 Geki Jigen Tag Blanc + Neptune VS Zombie Gundan, lit. Violent Dimension Tag Blanc + Neptune VS Zombie Corps) is a spin-off action game starring Blanc as the leading character.
The game is largely based on the series of Light Novels, where the CPUs are high school students and not Goddesses, called Chou Jigen Game Neptune: High School, although in this game they still are Goddesses.
This is the first video game in the Hyperdimension Neptunia series to feature multiplayer.
Story[]
Gamicademi– a learning facility located in a quiet town within Gamindustri.
This historical academy is renown for educating CPUs in the ways of human life and culture.
Despite its accolades, the school faced the threat of closure due to the world's population crisis.
Against all odds, Blanc and a few brave students would stand and fight to save the academy.
Their mission: to make a blockbuster movie!
They hoped it would bring recognition to the academy, along with new student applications.
And so, the students decided to make a zombie flick.
It was an innocent choice.
In a twist of fate, real zombies began appearing all over the academy—
However, this wouldn't faze these brave girls.
They turned the situation into an opportunity to create
the best zombie movie anyone's ever seen.
These fearless students would battle real zombies,
and begin shooting their greatest film ever.
Setting[]
The game's setting is very different to the previous games. In this game, set in another alternate universe, the girls are CPUs going to high school in order to learn more about humans. While at this point in time, the school is being threatened with closing as birth rates have declined. They try making a zombie movie when they accidentally summon zombies to their world.
Gameplay[]
Gameplay is identical to Hyperdimension Neptunia U: Action Unleashed, where it allows the goddesses to move freely around the world and attack enemies. When buttons are pressed with the correct timing you can easily connect combos, launch enemies into the air and perform air combos. Players can also utilize up to two different characters during battle and switch out characters at will.
Characters[]
In this game, the characters are very different. They are high students with majorly different designs and backstories. The CPUs and CPU Candidates go to school to learn more about humans. Plutia, Peashy and Uzume do not come from different dimensions.

Trivia[]
- Like mentioned above, this game is largely based on a series of Light Novels where the setting is in a high school. However, there are many things different.
- The setting has the four CPUs based in four different high schools, similar to the Gamesona, however in this game they go to the same school.
- Any character post-mk2 is not in the novels, basically because they were not introduced when the series was written.
- Neptune was the main protagonist, not Blanc. This maybe why she is getting second billing this time. Although, Neptune does play the protagonist in their films.
- The North American release date was initially supposed to be on April 26, 2016,[3] but it was delayed to May 10.[1]
- Despite this, the release date on the PlayStation Store was not changed, resulting in the game being purchasable on April 26.
