    Pros
    +4 Playable characters in the main story mode and over 30 playable characters in Free Play and Bonus Quest mode

    +Online mode allows you to play together with another person or against
    +Option to play in 3 different visual modes (one that looks like you are on a 3DS screen, one that looks like you are playing a DS game on the Wii and a close up of the top screen)
    +Complete voice acting in cutscenes
    +Ability to customize your characters stats and equips on however you want

    Cons
    -Repetitive gameplay and repetitive enemy designs (with color changes)
    -Characters are super pixelated due to developers not changing much on from 3DS to PC porting
    -Voice acting is only in Japanese    … Expand

    Code of Princess is a mobile game that was ported over to various other platforms, including the PC.

    The games not bad, but it uses the leveling and equipment system to increase the length of the game. Without it, I doubt this game would be more than an hour or so worth of play. As it stands, I wasn't a huge fan of it.    … Expand

    An entertaining little Beat 'Em Up/RPG hybrid with an extremely large roster of playable characters. There are just four in the campaign mode, but it would appear that ANY character in the game is playble in free play, including, funnily enough, incidental nameless NPCs.

There are just four in the campaign mode, but it would appear that ANY character in the game is playble in free play, including, funnily enough, incidental nameless NPCs. Given that individual levels are quite short, consisting of just a few enemies and/or a single boss, there a lot of levels in total, including many bonus levels that are as one might expect, much harder then the campaign. In combat, you can whail on enemies using light or heavy attacks, and the main characters at least have a small set of special attacks that are activated with 2D-Fighter-style directional inputs. There is a large amount of equippable gear items to find, overall making the game similar to other Japanese games like Earth Defense Force or Samurai Warriors, where the design philosphy seems to be to squeeze the maximum amount of gameplay out of a set number of assets. Wether this is good game design or not is up to the player. I've enjoyed many games of this type, including the aforementioned ones as well as Naval Ops: Commander and the English version of Shin Combat Choro Q, called Seek And Destroy in the US. The music and in-game voice lines of Code of Princess are a tad repeitive, as the characters make the same callouts every time they use even basic attacks, but the English subtitles are hilarious and very self-aware, and worth reading. Looking forward to trying the coop mode.… Expand

    Excelente video juego, simple, sencillo y sin cosas complicadas. Si disfrutaron de Guardian Heroes en Saturn, este juegazo les encantara por sus muchas similitudes. Code of Pricess es un port perfecto de la version de 3DS, y ahora aparece para PC para que mas gente lo disfrute. Una autentica joya. Muy bueno.

    The game is mostly uncompromised fun, but the levels can be quite repetitive. The difficulty and battles are unbalanced. The plot is a good fantasy/medieval comedy and only because of that I kept playing to the end.

    Fun combat and a genuinely funny script rescue this incredibly lazy port. [Issue#251, p.63]

    The battles can be fun and reminded me of the old school Mortal Kombat game. What I didn’t love was that if you die you have to redo the entire battle all over again.
