Neptunia 3rd Strike

Neptunia 3rd Strike (ネプテューヌ3rdストライク, Nepute~yūnu 3 rd sutoraiku) is a 2.5D fighting game, produced by Compile Heart and Arc System Works, it was released for the PlayStation 4 in July 4, 2020.

Much like Dragon Ball FighterZ ,it is involves the player picking a team of 3 playable characters and a unique assist for each, then fighting an AI or human opponent with their own team of 3 characters. The game received positive reviews from critics, with many citing the game as one of the best fighting games released in the eighth generation of video game consoles.

The game also include characters from Non Neptunia series making them guest characters.

Gameplay
Much like Dragon Ball FighterZ ,the control scheme and team mechanics are lifted from the Marvel vs. Capcom series and the overall presentation is reminiscent of other Arc System Works games. Players each select three characters to form a team, from an initial roster of characters from the Neptunia series (including Non-Neptunia such as Fairy Fencer F and Date A, Live). One character is controlled and can be switched with one of the other characters at any time. Players can also call one of their other characters to perform an "Assist" move, allowing simultaneous attacks and combos with the entire team. All three characters on the same team must be defeated for a player to win the game. If neither team has been defeated before the time runs out, the team that has sustained the least damage overall wins.

However, one of the gameplay mechanics introduced in 3rd Strike is the Guard Parry, also known as the "Red Parry", that allows players to parry during guard stun if the timing is correct in similar way to Street Fighter III: 3rd Strike.

Setting
This game takes place around 30 years (later retcon into 2 months) after the events of Megadimension Neptunia VII and 1 month after Fairy Fencer F (before the events of Fairy Fencer F: Refrain Chord), with the events of the game being alternate timeline to Volume 13-22 of the light novel of Date A Live after Date A Live III, however Date A Live IV would aired in April 2022, almost 2 years after the game release.
