Neptunia Riders VS Dogoos
This dimension is different from Gamindustri…
A vast number of distinct Dogoos are appearing and threatening to cover the land.
To escape from this otherworldly realm, a lone rider surveys the mysterious world in search of an exit.
Key Features
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 behaviors, 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 customizations can give the
Goddesses increased defense, max speed, acceleration, and even maneuverability. These upgrades can
ultimately give you the winning edge!

choice but to live on the battlefield.
The ultra-nationalistic military academy, Nirvana, becomes her new home. There, young men and

loops was set in motion, which were gradually unraveled by the efforts of Arata Mizunashi and his team.
With her goodwill restored, Iris created a copy of World DE-1 named World DE-1.5. Here, feuds gave
way to friendship, each person a perfect cog in a perfect world. But a new crisis threatens the peace…
A mysterious man has entered the fray, and he leads a group of people who look identical to the world’s
former heroes. Our new hero, Sayaka Hiwatari, confronts the rising chaos, where friends and foes seem
impossible to distinguish.
And so the battle with another world enters a new phase…
Temirana: The Lucky Princess and the Tragic Knights
In this world, one’s status and occupation are determined by the month they were born. About 15
years ago in the eastern kingdom of Temirana, the third princess was born: a baby with a birthmark
on her forehead.
This child was rumored to be the “Cursed Princess,” and was forced to live in a house far from her
family, away from the castle.
But things are about to change.
As her 16th birthday approaches, she attends the dueling tournament known as Helis Duelm.
There, she sees five men glowing with a dazzlingly strong light. Indeed, the “Cursed Princess” possessed a special and lucky power. Whenever her life might be in danger, people and places would shine as if to warn her.
Those acquainted with her power warn that those men may have shone because they were
dangerous…but she knows their light is different from any she’s seen before. Trusting her intuition,
the princess invites the five men to join her order of knights.
However, some of them have no experience with the sword, and others lack interest in knighthood
at all. Can the princess and her small company of five knights overcome the tragedy on the
horizon?
