Kengo Kawanishi certainly got paid, goddamn.

1:46 gotta shout out to my man kengo kawanishi 😤

Just when I saw this game on the store and wasn't sure what it was about. It's nice to see that someone has our back when it comes to niche JRPGs. Thanks and keep up the good work!

"A little bit like Bastion I guess, for anybody who's ever played that." Thanks, I'll watch the full video, but that was all you needed to say.

Reminds me of Penny Punching Princess. A fun/cute brawler that gets very grindy quickly beyond the fun factor.

Tark ; I recently subscribed after watching your Fatal Frame videos and I'm enjoying everything you put out ; I was surprised when I looked at your sub count because your content is so premium. Keep it up!

Your timing perfect - I do genuinely appreciate your boundless dedication to cataloguing everything weeb.

Just saw this game on my video that im editing from my 1st gaming event. Tks for the review i subscribed :)

Nice review. I was really curious about this one because I love NIS and the character designs and story premise sounded and looked good. Idk now tho I'll have to give it more thought if I really would buy it.

“Tends to overstay it’s welcome by making you replay too much of it to truly see it through to the end”. That was my main complaint with the game. Once I grasped how the game works, it was a lot of fun, but by the time I beat the first princess’s story, I didn’t really feel the need to keep playing.

This review won me with the Conner music I heard. Also made me want to get this game

Great review! It looks interesting, but I think I'll wait for a sale

No Thanks, but was a fun video to see you go thru. Agree totally if this was not intended for mobile use the way they did the game will be a major set back for most

I gotta say, I’m enjoying this one so far. But it was a little overwhelming at first. Sounds like you played it inside and out already. I haven’t gotten that far but it’s definitely fun.

Why does everyone look like they are having a seizure?

9:12 awww yeeeeee wind scene, still one of my favorite pieces of video game music of all time.

I almost always like the NIS aesthetic and design (and their physical LE's), but this definitely looks like a mobile game though I still like a lot of it's design. It seems alright, but I think I'll be passing. Great review!

Ill wait a year or more and buy it when its around 15 dollars

I just ordered it thanks for the review. You gave me a good idea of what to expect. I held off on getting the limited edition of this one and got the Liar Princess instead looks like that was a good decision. Thanks!

I haven't exactly researched this game all that much but the little I did interested me, enough to preorder it anyway. Looking at more of the gameplay footage here, it looks very much like the spiritual successor to "Penny Punching Princess". Very similar style, overall gameplay, presentation, and even a couple mechanics. Considering the physical release of the Vita version of "Penny Punching Princess" is also releasing around now, which I also preordered, I guess I better space the two of them out to avoid a burn-out due to just how similar seeming they are. Shouldn't be that hard as I got like two other games releasing along-side them as well. I swear, these first 3 months have been too much in regards to game releases, both mainstream and niche alike.

I love these progression heavy RPGs, nippon ichi is know for these types of RPGs with tons of micromanaging, i love it, theres just something about leveling and grinding that is why i love RPGs in the first place, for me its the progression is what makes RPGs my favorite games to play, for me as long as i can level up and grind and the gameplay is fun thats all that matters to me

In what way does it look like a mobile game? Yeah it's using Chibi sprites but they are clearly high quality and well animated. I've never seen a mobile tat looks anywhere near this good.

So in other words, the game does seem charming enough to buy retail because it's something you'd want to pass around with others due to the charm it has. Suffering the typical standards of "gameplay that could've been better" which usually plagues the majority of non-Nintendo developers trying to make creative, unique experiences, but overlooking a lot of things when doing so. This game seems, barely, interesting enough to me where I think I want to own it. Even if it's not played too much, it'd make for a nice-looking game box on the shelf.

This game looks interesting, I still wonder if getting the true ending is worth it.

I really liked Penny Punching Princess, so I'm going to be checking this one out at some point.

Does this game have any romance in it? If so which of these two games would you recommend Princess Guide or Metal Max Xeno? I apologize if it’s a tough question since they might be different beasts all together.

My wife and I saw this on the eshop and were tempted to get it. Might wait for it to go on sale though.

The HUD looks a bit too busy. Too many meters, indicators, and guides on the characters.

The game looks cute, I think I'll wait for a small price drop before picking it up

Well one thing for sure is gonna come out of this game existing: if/when Disgaea 6 is made you can bet your ass the princesses will be DLC for it.

I was interested in this game and had it in my cart and such, but this doesn't look like my kind of thing and what could be pros seem to be bogged down to some lousy design choices you pointed out. I came realize my main draw was the character designs of the princesses and the overall aesthetic. Maybe I will find a game with this aesthetic but a bit tighter in terms of gameplay.

Nice review. Donno about the game tho 🤔

Hmm... I’m not sure where I stand with this game, thanks for your devotion

Is the game worth 40$? Hell no. Still no price drop even now. But I do love this game, the story is great, while the gameplay is average. A game I didn't mind dropping 40$ on. They should make this an anime, I'd totally watch.

Is that conker I here in the background?

This video was certainly insightful and I won't be buying the game, thank you for your input as it has helped me with my decision.

Is that the guy that did etrian oddessy

Have this pre-ordered, but now I can't decide if this game looks worth 40 bucks.

Hi, can u explain how did you unlock the secret campaign? I beat the game with the 4 princesses and nothing happens :c

Fuck multiple endings.

I love an isometric action game and don't mind repetition if each playable character's moveset is distinct. Might rent it or put it on my Switch wishlist. Is there a hard mode?

I'll probably pick it up on sale. There is enough there that piques my interest, there is just too much coming out around its release. Great review Tark!

hi

The characters are si bouncy.

I detect Banjo Kazooie music.

Mobile game quality.. I'll prob pick it up under 20 or something

What about this looks like a mobile game? It reminds me more of stuff like Ys origin with the mix of character sprites and sorta 3d environments. Maybe more like Octopath.

This was so lazy of nis.. this is literslly penny punching princess level layout and character design even the ui .. pretty much literally just changed minot things n re skinned an old game lol. Wow

You should learn patience.

Nice review, this isn't my type of game to play, which is unfortunate, perhaps it might be decent if it's a JRPG.
