    Best co-op game I have for PS4. The humor is also right up my alley! It took me about 7-8 hours to complete but there is a "grind house" mode that changes up the game and allows you to replay some levels for more loot.

    This game gets me on so many levels. My girlfriend and I played through the entire thing in two nights and wish there was more content. The game is beautiful with an amazing soundtrack, especially that epic final boss music. I feel the game is easily worth more than the $20 price tag and hope they release more installments in the future!

    Fat Princess is one of those indie games that can make you fall in love for the genre, so of course I was very excited when they announced Adventures that would add a story in this universe, let's see how it end up.

    First the main disappointment of the game, no multiplayer versus mode like the original game (they did add some arena PvP in a update) it was the best thing of the original that allowed it to be played for years, and I was expecting at least a port of the maps on PS4 this will considerably lower the time spend on the game as the story is approximately 6 hours (acceptable length for the price) long and even if there is some replay value there's no much point to it even when the universe of the game is so original and funny and those 6 hours of discovery were a blast to play.

    Technically speaking the game is alright with nice visual quality for an indie game with lots of colours to match this apparently childish universe (there's a lot of blood too, don't buy it for your 5 year old child) and with a steady framerate even when there's a lot of characters on the screen. However there's also some bugs that will need you to re-launch the game.

    Concerning the gameplay Fat Princess Adventures is the most classic hack'n slash where you kill endless number of minions to reach more or less climatic bosses, maybe too simple as the game doesn't provide any challenge and it's best played with friends to maximize the fun (the game allows couch play which is always good in modern videogames), good point however to allow the player to change class at any checkpoints while collecting specific loot for every classes.

    All in all Fat Princess Adventures is nice PSN game with a very original and funny universe but a too simple gameplay and the absence of the famous multiplayer mode stop the game to be an unmissable PSN title, advisable for hack'n slash lovers or gamers looking for a nice coop game.    … Expand

    This game is fun, funny, action packed and has a amazing cast of voice actors for $20 on the PS4 you can enjoy a Action RPG that have drop-in drop-out ,online and couch co-op with friends and family this Christmas. Level up Weapons and Armor, complete side-quest or just play grindhouse if you really want a great challenge but what ever you do don't skip this amazing $20 masterpiece.

    This may appear to be a casual dumbed down dungeon crawler for kids, but for the adults there are nonstop jokes that will have you crying.
    Fat princess adventures is the Shrek of Video Games.
    This is a super casual and easy to understand diablo style dungeon crawler where you can play as a warrior, rogue, archer, or engineer either alone or with friends.
    The bitter queen has hashtag had it with all the sweets and wants them gone, so great bitten needs a hero not about to put up with the salt she’s handing out, so that’s where you come in
    The game starts out letting you customize your own character and your characters personality.
    Depending on your personality type, you’ll interacting with npcs and cut scenes differently as well as have your own combat catchphrases.
    You go through these levels just slicing everything in your way, taking on elite enemies and bosses, and finding chests for epic loot to make your character even more yours.
    The loots is just a tiny bit disappointing since it does feel way too basic.
    I don’t feel like there is any special loot that soils my britches, there’s no anticipation or excitement when you open a chest because you don’t feel like you could get the best weapon 30 minutes in, it feels more like the weapons dropped just get better as the game progresses.
    You don’t get the feeling of should I swap or not, you just do it because it stronger.
    Each weapon does have its own special ability such as restoring health, freezing or burning enemies among other things. Enemies do have elemental weaknesses, but I never found myself actively switching out weapons for enemies, just for annoying element based chests…
    Eventually I got a sword that could open all chests, but maybe having the ability to freely switch classes instead of having to be at a check point to do so would’ve been nice and a great time saver early on, and maybe would have given me more incentive to want to play with those different classes.
    You can also upgrade your weapons with the cash you pick up, but another annoyance is that eventually you’ll hit a road block in upgrade gems…
    Problem is you have to defeat the end boss for just 1 of them… which leads to hours of grinding… coincidentally there is a grindhouse mode where you can do just that, pick a level and replay it for prizes alone or with friends for even more prizes.
    Luckily though this game is so fun, addictive, satisfying and charming, that for once I’m happy there is an excuse to keep playing.

It exudes charm, and those who have been looking to jump back into the Fat Princess universe, solely for the universe, will find tons to appreciate here. This, however, is a perfect example of beauty being skin deep.

    This game plays very much like a Diablo-esc style game, in which you are trying to gather new gear dropped from "Elite" enemies and found in chests. You can upgrade that gear, though I have found that at lower levels, it feels almost like a waste of money to even try, as your gear will be no-doubt trumped when you enter the following chapter. To be fair, I am only in chapter 3, and have only played alone, so I cannot attest for the multiplayer, but the game as a whole just feels empty. You will encounter a ton of houses and caves that make you say, "I wonder what's in there?" only to find out that you can't actually go in, even if the cave mouth is gigantic and has nothing blocking its entrance.

    It's fun to play for a few hours, though if you're a trophy hunter, this game will certainly take many, many more hours than just a few. If you have a friend to play it with, check it out, but I would say it's worth closer to $10 than $20. It's funny and cute, but when you start hearing the same one-liners 30 times in as many minutes, you kind of just want to turn off the dialogue (which you can't do unless you mute dialogue as a whole, which hurts whatever story you are trying to pull from this).

    This game is really fun and I would give it 10/10 were it not for all the little bugs. The possibility of combining sofa play with online and invitations is great and I wonder why there aren't more games doing this. The cute art stands in a nice comedic contrast to the hack and slash gameplay. The dialogue is funny and the one liners don't feel overused, at least not after one playthrough.This game is really fun and I would give it 10/10 were it not for all the little bugs.

The story mode is a bit short, but I feel like you can easily just add another run on a higher difficulty setting and I'm not entirely sure if there is any end game content. It seems you can only upgrade your gear after a certain point by spending gems, of which you get one after the first playthrough.… Expand

    This game was really fun and me and my friends have had a great time playing the game. It is a really good party game to just button smash and not really have to focus too much on the actual game. But you can really get into it if you want to. My only complaint is that the princess is way to fat and ugly.

No unlockable skills, no character progression, the combat is repetitive and the loot system is boring and overly simplistic.

    The game can be enjoyable in short bursts but its lack of depth makes it a forgettable experience.    … Expand

    Let's be honest right here and right now, Fat Princess Adventures doesn't even come close to the charm and likability of the original, sometimes, it even looks like a completely different game that could be mistaken by something from another franchise.

    Finished it, didn’t enjoy it. Isn’t as good as the original. Narrator was off, princess’s weren’t the same (they were never able to fight on their own) and the enemies were garbage. I just want the simple red VS blue team again.

    Game phù hợp với nhiều người chơi, vui nhộn về mặc đồ họa, cốt truyện và âm thanh. Game không đặc nặng về vấn đề cày cuốc.

    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]

    Too simple for grown-ups, yet full of 'humour' unsuitable for kids, this franchise resurrection finds itself stuck in a saccharine no man's land. [Feb 2016, p.87]

    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]
