A Princess' Tale

I played through this game to the end, largely because it was pretty short. It wasn't bad or anything, but I honestly wouldn't recommend it to others. Story - It's not complicated, and it is more or less complete, but it still felt a bit lacking. There's even a bit of info thrown out at one point that begged for at least a side quest, but then it's quickly forgotten and never mentioned again. No Side Quests - Not a single one as far as I could tell. There were 3 optional dungeons, but they had no story or quest content whatsoever. Just a bunch of enemies, winding paths, and treasure chests. One of them has multiple floors leading you to a room with a door, and then . . . nothing. Just another regular battle and a few treasure chests. Crappy Maps - They're just not good. Towns make horrible use of space. A lot of doors can't be entered, and the ones that do seem to be at random and lead to, at most, some unimportant NPC dialogue. This game really does not reward exploration. And the ...

It's a pretty basic JRPG game using RPG Maker as the engine. If that alone bothers you, you've probably already made up your mind about this game. It does use many stock assets, but the dungeons are nicely laid out. My only complaint is that some of the icons don't really match the item they're associated with. It's a little short but priced accordingly. The story is a little simplistic but solid and consistent with the intended theme of the game. There is no branching quests and only two optional dungeons. Personally I wish the back story of the other main characters were fleshed out a little more. (What did Killian do to be pursued?) The combat doesn't have as much "grind" as some JRPG games. There is an interesting mechanic in the game, involving changing cloths to achieve various tasks. One moment you may be dressing as a peasant to sneak past the guards, another you may be wearing a tribal outfit to pay respect to their chief. In dungeons and caves you have to wear your "Adve...

Right now I wouldn't recommend A Princess Tale at this price. There are several spelling errors in the game itself, including the characters names. The mouse controls were horrid and made it extremely difficult to play the game, and there was an option for keyboard but it was the typical "WASD" keys it was the Arrow keys and enter, having the option between the arrows or WASD would be awesome. The icon images for Ata (a party member), and the Minister of Science (A Main Character) were the sae just recoloured while a group of girls kidnapped and enchanted by Markus and had 2 lines each all had very distinctive icon images designed for them. The springwine in the tavern was a huge problem. I used the mouse controls up until this point and nothing I did would progress the game until I looked online and found out I had to hit ENTER on the keyboard. The only character you have to do this with. The controls shouldnt change for one character. The game rules also change when you enter ...

I usually don't leave negative comments but sadly this game isn't that great. You're spending money on a game that lacks a lot of RPG aspect. Which are. 1. Hidden secret items. Usually games that has shelves, book shelves, pots, barrels, and tables. Has hidden item/money. Which this game does not. Also I only found 2 treasure chest in the past hour. 2. Lack of entry to homes. There are a lot of house's that you can not enter(It doesn't matter anyways because there wont be anything to grab from them anyways. 3. Not much action. This game doesn't force you to level up like crazy to defeat the next enemies/bosses. 4. This isnt much of a big deal but you can't use a controller to play this game. 5. Music. I know I'm being a little picky but the music isn't great. 6. No map system. 7. No side missions. If this game was free, i wouldn't be so harsh on it. But sadly, for paying 3 dollars and not getting much out of it just doesn't cut it for me. There are free game out there that would...

new name: waste of money

Got this in the sale as I wouldn't pay full price for it but ok for a few hours distraction. Story has some funny bits. It's not a bad story is, would be better if it had a few side quests and perhaps was fleshed out a bit more. As I said ok for a few hours distraction as its pretty short one, the normal rpgs I usually play are usually 20+hours.

*Enters Game* *Chooses controls* *First line of text: he went "dif way"* maybe autocorrect might be useful

Played the game and finished it. The game is very linear and straight forward. Dialogues between the characters are acceptable (credits on the scene with Binearh was fun). The game could be improved with longer storyline and emphasis on other character's personality. The portraying of the princess as 'irresponsible' is weak because kindness/forgiving doesn't equate to the same. The issue with the icons and the name of the items really need to be fixed regardless of the developer's preference: if it is a game made to be sold to the public there is an expectation that this basic part of the game would be properly done. The character portrait for Ata and the Minister of Science is identical and should have used a different portrait. Overall not a good game and is not recommended if you're looking for a proper RPG Maker game.

RPG Maker strikes again! A Princess' Tale is one of hundreds of low effort retro-pixel RPG Maker asset/construction kit flips spamming the Steam catalog, made with the RPG Maker video game construction kit... in their own words, "Our easy to use tools are simple enough for a child." Like all RPG Maker "games", this is essentially a bunch of low quality/canned assets from RPG Maker coupled with a cringeworthy high school anime club fan fiction. As with all RPG Maker games, the poor quality engine displays badly in fullscreen and doesn't have full HD support or any graphics tweaking options, making this unacceptable for any dedicated modern PC gamer. The point can be made that the intention of RPG Maker is to make demos and small games to pass around friends, and shouldn't be used for "professional" game development. This time Andorlea/Warfare/SimProse/whatever other shell account this guy uses to try hide his identity has once more stamped out a painfully generic copy + paste RPG M...

Full disclosure, I didn't get very far in this game. I played for about half an hour, then the game hard froze. I don't know if it was the developer's fault or not that the game froze, could be a script that go set to autorun (something I've done to myself while playtesting before) or just bad luck. Either way, I was underwhelmed enough that I decided it wasn't worth trying again. You spend a lot of time walking across pointlessly large maps, which are under inspired in terms of design. The dialogue and setup were mediocre. I got it for cheap so I'm not upset, I just couldn't recommend it.
