Fat Princess Adventures

Fat Princess Adventures is a great entry into the hack-and-slash genre for those who don't necessarily want something sprawling. The lack of deeper mechanics and loot is compensated by a fun combat system that feels good whether you're playing multiplayer or solo.

Fat Princess Adventures is a fun game to play with friends. It is packed with humor and looks great. Unfortunately it is a bit chaotic with four players, but bores quickly when playing alone. Still it's absolutely worth your money for the quiet months.

This is a game for anyone looking for some light, easy fun either by themselves or with friends.

Fat Princess was subversive, politically incorrect and unexpectedly complex in its strategy and depth. Fat Princess Adventures trades a little of that depth for a more straightforward, action RPG-focused design.

A casual adventure prefect for playing with friends. Its funny jokes gives hilarious moments that allow us to enjoy like children.

The follow-up to Fat Princess is not competitive, it is an action RPG like Diablo. The smart class system makes the game interesting, but still you will not put hundreds of hours into it.

Fat Princess Adventures dispenses with the strategy of the first game, instead focusing on hacking and slashing. If you're looking for a light-hearted, casual Diablo-styled romp that's perfect for the whole family, Fat Princess Adventures is worth gobbling up.

It is not the most varied nor ambitious production, but it does manage to entertain, especially when playing with friends.

Fat Princess Adventures wants to offer a fun and accessible Diablo-like experience, and it delivers. If you're looking for something like this, it's worth a try.

It's a deliberately limited game, but it works well within its self-imposed restrictions to keep the focus on the party atmosphere from start through to finish, and while it won't be remembered as a classic game by any stretch of the imagination, this is a good one to have sitting on the PlayStation 4 hard drive for when friends are over.

It's a bit repetitive, but those first few hours are a lot of fun because of the enjoyable gameplay, decent voice-acting and laugh-out-loud humor.

Fat Princess Adventures is a refreshing and hilarious video game sweet, whose main flaw is to be repetitive and short.

Fat Princess Adventures is a simple cooperative action RPG, with a decent campaign but an inconsistent combat system.

Fat Princess Adventures is a pleasant hack-'n-slash romp with a wonderfully silly sense of humour. It lacks depth, and replay value, but as a budget game to play with friends it offers fine value for money.

Fat Princess prevailed through idiosyncratic charm and relative exclusivity. Fat Princess Adventures applies a similar style to a much more crowded space. Diminished returns were all but guaranteed, but, with a few friends, Fat Princess Adventures soldiers on as an enjoyable hack 'n slash.

Fat Princess Adventures won't be winning any awards for originality, but as a casual co-op game to play over the holiday, it's a solid choice.

Fat Princess is a fun, well made, but ultimately shallow four-player hack and slash with a cutesy aesthetic and amusing writing.

An interesting new twist for one of those "under the radar" Sony´s IPs. A definitive enjoyable experience when several players are in together.

Fat Princess Adventures is an enjoyable distraction for hardcore fans of the hack-and-slash genre, but now I just want a proper new Princess game.

The gameplay style is decidedly straight-forward action-RPG, and the game has you facing untold numbers of enemies that must be dispatched with button-mashing monotony.

It doesn’t cover any new ground, or do anything of great significance, but Fat Princess Adventures is a solid and playful RPG experience in its own right.

Fat Princess Adventures still has the same humor and charm of the original, but without the PvP multiplayer it feels like a step back. The campaign is interesting enough, but feels pretty shallow compared to other games, and doesn't do enough to draw players in for the entire time.

Fun Bits has developed a funny but too-simplistic hack and slash with a touch of RPG elements. The fun for some hours is assured but the whole experience seems a little too short and meagre.

Not the full fat sequel that fans will have been waiting for but an enjoyable, if extremely shallow, four-player Diablo clone.

Is there a sin more sinful than taking away the charms of a great game? Implementing an awesome PvP multiplayer into this one would most definitely raise the verdict a notch. But this way... It's only a bleak experience.

The humour is still there and works fine, but when it comes to gameplay, the shift in the formula from team based multiplayer to cooperative hack'n'slash doesn't fully work.

Fat Princess Adventures is cute and sometimes funny, but so shallow, repetitive and boring that I was fed up with it halfway through the 7-8 hour long campaign. [02/2016, p.55]

A shallow hack and slash that's fun in short bursts but outstays its welcome, even at a scant six hours. A step in the wrong direction for the series. [Feb 2016, p.91]

If you are looking for a cheap way to spend a few hours with some friends, and want something light enough to tear through and easy enough to put down when you’ve had your fill, you might find some enjoyment here. Otherwise, I’d look elsewhere.

Fat Princess continues to offer fun and laughs to the players, but its severance from the original game comes with a general lack of depth.

Fat Princess Adventures' impactless combat, boring side quests, and confusing user interface all add up into something that isn't exciting or satisfying to play.

Unfortunately, Fat Princess Adventures comes across as something of a missed opportunity. For one thing, it’s a genre shift which will disappoint those who want more of the multiplayer carnage from the original, but while there’s still fun to be had, this is a fairly shallow game which leans too close to the childlike facade of the art style.

Fat Princess Adventures is a nice, little and... boring experience. The real problem here is the shallow combat system.

Fat Princess Adventures is colourful and endearing at first, but the proof is in the gameplay pudding. Unsatisfying, flimsy combat and class-specific loot drops make extended play a real grind.
