Plot
The main protagonist of Mugen Souls, Chou-Chou, plans to conquer the universe by subjugating the seven worlds it comprises, as she thinks the planets look pretty. Traveling from world to world with her trusty companion Altis, and loyal peon Ryuto, Chou-Chou aims to turn the heroes and demon lords of each world into her 'peons' (servants), saving the world from conflict in the process.

Gameplay
Gameplay revolves around exploration and turn-based, open-field combat (same as Hyperdimension Neptunia mk2 gameplay), and the game also includes mini games and customization.

Reception

The game was met with mixed reviews. It holds a score of 55/100 on Metacritic.
