Princess And Knight

The game is beautiful and the story line is something I can kinda get behind but I have too much trouble with combat. Most tactical games do have an hp system and this one seems off balance. I have one character taking all the hits beaches got some bizarre mechanics that causes his hp to reset on purpose and he barely takes damage when hit. On the other hand all other characters die in one hit even other melee characters against enemy melee characters and I’m floored by this design. I’m on map 7 and I’ve had a terrible time seeing characters stay alive or be useful besides the strange character that can tank everything. Totally unbalanced gameplay.

Firstly, the awful Japanese to English translations are the best part so far. While this game is a turn based strategy game it is nothing like what I wanted to play. Each encounter seems to give options, but in truth has a very linear strategy that deviating from normally means instant failure. Find a hole, buff up, defend it, then go after the stragglers. If this sounds exciting then donate your money for the English translations alone.

This is an amazing gem. If you enjoy tactical RPGs, don't miss out on this. Gameplay 10/10 Balance 10/10 Story 8/10 (some translation issues Graphics 8/10 (I enjoy them) Music 7/10
