    For a free-to-play title, this isn't bad. There are certainly opportunities to pour some small amounts of $$ into the developer, but for the most part, with a little patience, you can play this challenging match-3 game for hours for free. I'm about halfway through the campaign, with about 4 hours spread over a last couple weeks. It's a decent time-waster and you might even consider givingFor a free-to-play title, this isn't bad.

    Doesn't feel like a free game, plays and looks like a 10 dollar game. The Stamina points needed to attempt each stage regenerate quickly, so for someone who only plays on the Vita for short periods of time anyways its perfect.

    Its a bit more strategic than some other match 3 games, matching 3 of a color either activates one of 4 units in your squad which each have a different attack pattern or heal your units, or feeds cake to Princess. When Princess has had enough cake she can be activated for, *ahem*, 'heavy" damage.
    Each successfully completed stage will reward you with any "gems" collected in the stage as well as a spin on a wheel that could award you with powerful single use items or even more gems.
    Some stages have unique variables increasing the challenge and adds to the variety of what could otherwise get stale. Sometimes there is a pattern outlining where on the board a match 3 will count or not count, sometimes there are 'tower' pieces that appear on the board that cant match with anything, but if you can get it to the bottom, it will help in other ways.

    Fat Princess: Piece of Cake should have been a tasty little time filler, but it's saddled with a sickly stamina system and a repugnant pricing model that only a royal could reasonably afford.

    If you like match-3 puzzlers with some strategy thrown in, you’ll be back for more in no time.
