Do you have what it takes to whip some young women into shape and save the Relic Islands from a catastrophic event? Check out our review of The Princess Guide.
The Princess Guide presents players with four great princesses and some enjoyable storytelling but be prepared for its decent combat system to become monotonous due to the necessary grind.
Overall, it's an enjoyable action-focused romp, but everything feels a little scattershot. This is a game that packs in a lot but doesn't stick the landing on all that much. The Princess Guide offers up a pleasant little brawler that overcomplicates at every turn and is never truly satisfying.
The Princess Guide is an adorable, energetic game. It has gorgeous art and fun, well-written characters. It's just marred by grinding through messy and poorly designed combat. The AI squad-mates that are so integral to the action have terrible AI that make it impossible to consistently coordinate any of their actions. There's massive heart and care put into the narrative and visual design of The Princess Guide, but that is weighed down by how frustrating it is to play the game.
The Princess Guide is a game I enjoy less and less the more I play it. There is a sound structure here and some really clever ideas, but the weight of all its small issues really burden what should a fun and frivolous experience.
The Princess Guide is a new title for Nippon Ichi Software that puts players in the role of a mentor to young royals. It's not an entirely inconceivable premise at least.
The Princes Guide is an oddity. Part strategy, part visual novel, and part action RPG. The game feels like a mixed bag of mechanics, sown together in to the video game equivalent of Frankenstein’s Monster. There are parts to The Princess Guide that work well, and then there are others that just really don’t. The Princess Guide comes from Nippon Ichi Software, and follows your player generated character as they train four princesses to be the best princess that ever princessed. In your que...
