A Princess' Tale

  I played through this game to the end, largely because it was pretty short. It wasn't bad or anything, but I honestly wouldn't recommend it to others. Story - It's not complicated, and it is more or less complete, but it still felt a bit lacking. There's even a bit of info thrown out at one point that begged for at least a side quest, but then it's quickly forgotten and never mentioned again. No Side Quests - Not a single one as far as I could tell. There were 3 optional dungeons, but they…

  It's a pretty basic JRPG game using RPG Maker as the engine. If that alone bothers you, you've probably already made up your mind about this game. It does use many stock assets, but the dungeons are nicely laid out. My only complaint is that some of the icons don't really match the item they're associated with. It's a little short but priced accordingly. The story is a little simplistic but solid and consistent with the intended theme of the game. There is no branching quests and only two…

  Right now I wouldn't recommend A Princess Tale at this price. There are several spelling errors in the game itself, including the characters names. The mouse controls were horrid and made it extremely difficult to play the game, and there was an option for keyboard but it was the typical "WASD" keys it was the Arrow keys and enter, having the option between the arrows or WASD would be awesome. The icon images for Ata (a party member), and the Minister of Science (A Main Character) were the…

  Another old style rpg from Warfare finds our heroine (Princess Calliope), her bodyguard, a mercenary, and a bohemian outcast forming a party to save the world from destruction by an ancient monster(s) that awaken every 1,000 years to destroy humankind. All the details as to what is happening are laid out in this straightforward tale that takes you to the far corners of this ancient kingdom. Along the way, there will be battles with assorted monsters, secets to discover, exploration to do, lots…

  I usually don't leave negative comments but sadly this game isn't that great. You're spending money on a game that lacks a lot of RPG aspect. Which are. 1. Hidden secret items. Usually games that has shelves, book shelves, pots, barrels, and tables. Has hidden item/money. Which this game does not. Also I only found 2 treasure chest in the past hour. 2. Lack of entry to homes. There are a lot of house's that you can not enter(It doesn't matter anyways because there wont be anything to grab…

  Got this in the sale as I wouldn't pay full price for it but ok for a few hours distraction. Story has some funny bits. It's not a bad story is, would be better if it had a few side quests and perhaps was fleshed out a bit more. As I said ok for a few hours distraction as its pretty short one, the normal rpgs I usually play are usually 20+hours.

  Played the game and finished it. The game is very linear and straight forward. Dialogues between the characters are acceptable (credits on the scene with Binearh was fun). The game could be improved with longer storyline and emphasis on other character's personality. The portraying of the princess as 'irresponsible' is weak because kindness/forgiving doesn't equate to the same. The issue with the icons and the name of the items really need to be fixed regardless of the developer's preference:…

  RPG Maker strikes again! A Princess' Tale is one of hundreds of low effort retro-pixel RPG Maker asset/construction kit flips spamming the Steam catalog, made with the RPG Maker video game construction kit... in their own words, "Our easy to use tools are simple enough for a child." Like all RPG Maker "games", this is essentially a bunch of low quality/canned assets from RPG Maker coupled with a cringeworthy high school anime club fan fiction. As with all RPG Maker games, the poor quality…

  Full disclosure, I didn't get very far in this game. I played for about half an hour, then the game hard froze. I don't know if it was the developer's fault or not that the game froze, could be a script that go set to autorun (something I've done to myself while playtesting before) or just bad luck. Either way, I was underwhelmed enough that I decided it wasn't worth trying again. You spend a lot of time walking across pointlessly large maps, which are under inspired in terms of design. The…

  A Review of 'A Princess' Tale': Or, The Paradox of Unspooling Yarn in a Labyrinth of Self-Referential Mirth (Or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Cat) To engage with *A Princess' Tale* is to siphon the nectar of absurdity through a straw woven from the sinews of its own fourth-wall carcass, a recursive ouroboros of 16-bit pixels that both mocks and venerates the crumbling edifice of "heroic destiny." Here, the archetypal *Chosen One* is not a brooding cipher draped in the gravitas…

  I am 32 years old. My ex-wife and I have a daughter together, and we adopted our son together. Both are now 4 years old. When we were going through our separation, I felt lost and unhappy. I was self-destructive. One day, I was so angry with everything spiraling out of control that I punched a concrete wall in a moment of overwhelming emotion. This resulted in breaking my fifth metacarpal in my right hand—the hand I worked with, played games with, and used to carry my children to bed—the hand…

  So, this game centers around a princess named Calliope... who has her head in the clouds... or chasing kitties... And now she has to save the world. Well, at least she has the heart for it. Now if only she could stop herself from trying to rescue every lost cat...

  The Game is horrible the fights are way to easy the mapping is boring (looks like no thought was given into it and you can interact with almost nothing) and full of mapping errors like: 1. Tress growing on Sidewalk 2. and some places i got blocked by air 3. could walk on water in the sewers 4. the carpets are badly cur in the castle 5. cant walk behind rooftops or chimnneys in some places 6. no indicators were you can or cant leave the screen in some places 7. at some places trees are cut in…

  Well its so cheap its almost free so i cant really say too much but its just not fun. The areas are empty and identical, the dialogue is flat and awkward. Even when it tries to be funny its just kinda isnt. Plenty of other titles that just seem to have more soul (then again plenty of worse rpg maker games too). Basically i like the silly premise and wish i could say its worth a playthrough but its really not. :(

  A Princess' Tale is a 6 hour long adventure RPG. The premise of the story is that you, the princess, having been descended from a great warrior who saved the world in the past, must prevent a giant beast from waking up. To do this, you must make contracts with four fairies to reactivate their crystals. You start with only the main character, but quickly accumulate a party of four, which stays with you for the rest of the game. The world map is populated with towns and enemy locations, but…

  I don't know why I bought this game (ok, it was the cheap price). I was expecting a simple entertaining rpg and while this was simple, it just felt too bland to be entertaining. There were also the countless bugs and visual errors that kept coming one after the other. No, cannot really recommend this game.

  A very simple RPG game, with cute retro graphics, resembling the old times, though it was made with RPG Maker, it looks and plays smoothly, you play as a little princess on a quest to save the world from the evil threatning the beautiful world they live in. The story is fairly short, a few quests, no side quests or any extra/hidden missions, it takes you straight to the point, which is decent, the gameplay itself is short, but fun, not bad for the price it asks for, the battle system is easy…
