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
Setting
The game's setting is very different to the previous games. In this game, set in another alternate universe, the girls are not CPU/Goddess but instead high school students. They try making a zombie movie when they accidentally summon zombies to their world.
Plot
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.

Trivia
- Like mentioned above, this game is largely based on a series a Light Novel where the setting is a high school. However, there are many things different.
- The setting has the four CPU based in four different High school, similar to the Gamesona, however in this game they seem to be in 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 protaganist, 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 26th, 2016, but it was delayed to May 10th.
