    The story of The Princess Guide is well done and the praise/scold feature is an interesting twist on how you interact with the different princesses to unlock different bonuses. The game is deceptively deep with the amount of different attacks, weapons, and squad building options. This may seem pretty intimidating at first, but after a few rounds you’ll find yourself picking up on theThe story of The Princess Guide is well done and the praise/scold feature is an interesting twist on how you interact with the different princesses to unlock different bonuses. The game is deceptively deep with the amount of different attacks, weapons, and squad building options. This may seem pretty intimidating at first, but after a few rounds you’ll find yourself picking up on the mechanics pretty quickly. The game is reminiscent of arcade-style games like Gauntlet, so if you like arcade style games with RPG aspects, this game would be up your alley.… Expand

    For fans of NISA/NIS games in general, this is a complete let-down. None of the systems work well or are even that interesting. The story is bland, the combat unnecessarily complex and unfulfilling, and the lack of conventional progression against scaling difficulty results in an experience infuriating all the way around. Nearly everything is far more complex than it needs to be, from issuing battle commands, to simply trying to know what is being equipped or what effect is has. If one had to choose between one word to describe the whole experience this would be a battle between 'frustrating' and 'disappointing.'

    The Princess Guide may have creative and ambitious concepts and ideas and there's no doubt that it has several good aspects in its favour. Unfortunately the game also reveals some flaws when it comes to putting its ideas into place and the result is something that feels rather confusing, without a proper explanation of how the gameplay mechanics work, and with a too repetitive combat system.

    A fast-paced title in both terms of gameplay and narration, The Princess Guide is not the deepest of games action-wise but surely is a fun experience. The visual style itself should be enough to get you hooked if you are in any sense an anime fan. If not, there are plenty of other games out there for you! But it won't make this game a bad one, even if you do skip it.
