Code of Princess EX

[i]可能な限りやり込んでみましたので、内容を修正します。[/i] [h1]日本語でもできるよ[/h1] Code of Princessのバージョンアップ的な位置づけの本作。ゲームとしてはCode of Princessも参考ください。 https://steamcommunity.com/id/weisskatz/recommended/408640/ 前作と比較してのおすすめ度ですが、基本的には本作をおすすめします。 ただし以下の点は前作のほうが優れています。 [list] [*]価格（セール時の割引率も含む） [*]BGMが途切れない [*]メガクラッシュ連打により雑魚キャラでも火力を出せる [*]スピードをステ振りで上昇させられる [/list] [h1]特長[/h1] [olist] [*]解像度の改善 元が3DSのゲームのため解像度が目に見えて荒かった（特にキャラ選択画面）のが改善されています。 比べてみると、思った以上にきれいになっています。 [*]ストーリーモードの改善 内容自体には変更ありませんが、キャラごとではなく一つのストーリーをキャラ選択で進める形式になりました。 そして何より、途中参加のシスターや月影なども使えます。しかも、選択していないキャラにも経験値がある程度入るため、メインキャラは育成の手間が省けます。 個人的には、（Mr.Tが持ちキャラなのもあって）ここが一番魅力を感じました。 [*]ローカルマルチが可能 オフラインで2人プレイができます。 これは「あらゆる雑魚キャラのレベリングが可能」という利点にも繋がっています。 [*]装備面の改善 同名のアイテムがやけに多かった前作ですが、全てオリジナルのアイテム名になりました。 また、モンスターが勲章アイテム以外も装備できるようになり、格差が緩和されています。 [*]クエストの調整 クエストの構成が一部変更されています。 例えば、難しい要素（一人用クエで2人の村人を守らされる、ライオンゲートに取り巻きが大勢いる、など）が一部緩和されていたり、逆にボスはラスボス以外も瀕死バーストを使ってきたりします。[strike]ラスボスは相変わらずなので安心して稼ぎができます。[/strike] [*]BGM大幅追加 前作ではほぼ全て姫様のテーマだったBGMが、サントラ収録の様々な曲に差し替えられています。しかし―― [/olist] [h1]難点[/h1] [olist] [*]BGMが途中でループ終了する なぜか、まるでサントラを再生しただけのごとくBGMが途中でフェードアウトします。 （無印[u]およびSwitch版のEX[/u]ではちゃんとループします） これによりせっかくのBGM追加による没入感が失われ、ゲームではない何か別の作業をやっている感じになります。 対策としては完全に音を消してしまうことくらいでしょうか。 プレイフィールとしては致命的で、なんとか対策頂きたいところですが。 [*]Remote Play Together非対応 せっかくローカルマルチがあるのに非対応なのが惜しいです。 [/olist] [h1]評価が分かれる点[/h1] [olist] [*]バーストが回数制、途中キャンセル不可 要はメガクラッシュ連打の防止です。 これは対戦を見据えた際には大事な改善点かもしれませんが、雑魚キャラが強敵に勝つことが非常に厳しくなりました。 （装備やレベリングでタフにはなるのですが、火力がなかなか伸びないため結局ジリ貧になるためです） [*]ステータスの割り振りの廃止 ステ振りの面倒さがなくなったとも言えますが、キャラの育成の幅に制限がかかったのも確かです。 本作の装備の振れ幅を鑑みると、ステ振りは装備で補うようにしたのだと見られます。 しかしステータスからSpeedが廃止されたことにより、キャラの速度は装備含め一切変更できなくなりました。 [*]各キャラの挙動の変化 技追加など基本的には改善ですが、一部の既存技の性能が変更されています。 例えば以下を確認しています。いずれも対戦を見据えてと思いますが、キャラの個性となっていた部分のため個人的には惜しい点です。 [list] [*]オークのJ強が降下しなくなり、接近時のラッシュがかけにくくなった。 [*]イルーダの蹴り（立ち強）の長大なヒットストップがなくなり、敵集団を固めにくくなった。 [/list] [/olist] [h1]Switch版との差異について[/h1] 今のところ一長一短な感じがあります。不具合さえなければSteam版のほうがよいのですが… [list] [*]なんといってもBGMが途切れない！ [*]各所で読み込みが発生する。特にキャラ選択時に暗転する。 （Switch版最大の難点。パッケージ版だから？） [*]Internet Modeを行うにはオンラインに加入する必要がある。 [*]比較的高価。 [*]実績がない。 [/list] [h1]さいごに[/h1] 最初は「純粋な積み上げすなわち『コードオブプリンセスの決定版』になり切れていない点が残念」と評しました。しかしある程度やっていくと確かに数々の点が改善されていることに気づき、これなら決定版と呼んで差し支えないなと考えを改めました。 それだけに、BGMが途切れる点が非常に残念です。 CoPは前作本作ともに[b]賛否両論[/b]の評価で「[b]かなり好評[/b]を取れていないのだから、きっとやるだけ無駄なク○ゲーに違いない」と思われるかもしれません。 確かに私もこれを全く知らない人におすすめできるかというと、正直考えてしまいます。 ですが個人的には、欠点は多くあるが確かにガーヒーから続く光るものを持った作品である、と思います。

This review is a year late, but before anything I just want to say, "I called it." Back in 2019, about a year before this game was released on PC I predicted they were going to double dip the fanbase and try to resell us the same game to us. Scumbag move after selling lackluster port in the first place. So Code of Princess EX, how is it difference from 2016 and is it worth the extra money? Well let's just say the first thing that comes to mind just by looking at EX. Compared to the original 2016 version, EX is gorgeous, but that may not be saying much because 2016 looked like garbage. Stretched out graphics, pixlated sprites, that terrible DS two screen mechanic with all the empty space. 2016 Princess was a disgusting garbage pile to look at. Thankfully EX fixed this. The sprites look good, the backgrounds look good, the FMVs look good. They did everything I wanted them to do with the EX version and made the game look less like barf. Sadly they went and did other things no one else asked them to do to the game. I think the biggest complaint you'll read about is the changes to the game balance and difficulty. Sadly, I haven't played enough of EX to notice the difficulty spike yet, but I have noticed they nerfed the Burst mechanic, limiting it to three uses per stage for a short duration rather than being linked to your MP gauge, and it would seem they completely removed the Bonus Points to Stats earned on level up. With that alone I can say the game WILL be harder since you don't get the extra Bonus Points to distribute to your stats. Considering how difficult some of the later bosses can be in the 2016 version I feel like this was a frustrating change for many people. Granted, I admit I was one of those people who complained about the "Block - Burst" play style needed to defeat bosses in the later half of the game, but that doesn't mean I wanted them to buff the bosses and nerf the player. I just wanted them to adjust the AI so or such so the combat wasn't so monotonous. So is it worth it? Going back and forth between the two games EX just looks so nice and sexy in comparison to the potato that was 2016. If you're a fan I'd say EX is worth buying, just because the game is visually superior and I do want to show support for a future game. Being the spiteful fan that I am though, seeing how 2016 was a pile of garbage and who honestly believes that anyone who was duped into buying 2016 should have gotten EX here for free as an apology from the studio, I would say DON'T buy it unless it's on sale like right now, for $5 or so. The original game was released on DS in 2012 and the PC port was made in 2016. EX SHOULD have been what the 2016 port was. Instead we got a lazy, ugly turd that was the 2016 port. The fans for this IP exist and we want to support the series Devs and Publishers. What we don't want to support is you ripping us off with lazy ports only to turn around and charge us again for a better version (which you still mucked up apparently with the gameplay balance).

I love this game but this "remaster" is terrible with lots of bugs. Please give the original release a go over this one.

I honestly can't recommend this game. I do enjoy beat-up genre with mix of RPG element with the game but this game have too many flaws that couldn't be ignored. Graphics: This is major improvement compare to the previous game but the character models still look fuzzy despite being remaster version. This problem is noticeable in the very beginning of the game by cutscene and gameplay. Sound: Music sometimes doesn't play and sometimes stop playing. This isn't frequently but still should of have been fixed. This game does not have English dub which 3ds version has but you can get mod version instead. This version of the game does not include or have option to have DLC soundtrack. Story: It is not only unoriginal, but it has been done too many times in other games and anime. They had too many miss opportunities, wasted characters' introductions and development, and some unanswered questions. Gameplay: That game okay about first two hours but I became bored by this time for I can simply spam most enemies by using same combo(s) countless of times especially if you are using magic user. If the enemies is too strong, I simply grind with the magic user about 30 minutes and start spamming again. Other issues are there is no battle items for except for health and magic replenish items. After beating the game, there is little reason to play every playable characters for it is not really necessary..

The definition of a game believing damage sponge enemies is difficulty.

日本語もサポートされてますよ。 ガーディアンヒーローズと聞いて購入してみたんですけど、確かにあの神ゲーを思い出させますね。 途中で異様に硬い敵、アーマー状態みたいなのが出るんだけど・・・あれは冷めちゃうね。 それまでは爽快コンボゲーだったのに、一気にストレスゲーに早変わりですね。 アーマーのせいでコンボ中に反撃されるから、軸を変えて、ビシビシと攻撃、また軸を変えてビシビシ攻撃と地味な戦略をするか、レベル上げてワンパンで倒すかの2択になるから残念です。 あとキャラ性能の差が酷い。雑魚敵に対しても苦戦するキャラも居れば、コンボや技がダメ過ぎて使い物にならないキャラも居る。 ガーヒーの熱狂的なファンだったら、購入ありですね。 ガーヒーを知らないんだったら、おすすめ出来ないですね。

I don't remember what caught my eye about this game so many years back. It definitely wasn't due to me playing the original 3DS version (I love the 3DS as a system and library). I think it was because it was on my recommended list and I wish listed it. Regardless, I picked it up early 2025 due to it being on sale and needing a quick game to play after beating some longer RPGs. And like Steam's comments at the top of the page, my feelings are very mixed about it. So to be clear this is for the EX edition, not the 3DS / original version. The story is super straightforward and self-aware. Stop me if you've heard it before: Princess lives charmed life. Princess' castle gets attacked by monsters. Princess draws a holy sword and then has to save her people from saving the land. Along the way, she'll gain 7 followers who support her in her quest. Goofiness clearly occurs as they all play off each other with somewhat humorous effect. Gameplay is also super forward: it's a beat-em up. And the quickest comparison a lot of folks will probably think of is Guardian Heroes. And it's an apt comparison. You have hard and quick swings, simple ability move sets (sometimes I didn't even know how I pulled some of them off), and 3 different layers to jump between. That's where it stops. The combat is solid, but no where as fast as Guardian Heroes. The plot is fun, but lacks the various choices that took players to different levels and influenced the plot. One of the biggest differences is how the game is balanced. Again, I've never played the original. From what I understand, there are 3 main differences that are different from the game's original balance: 1) The reliance on equipment to change stats and combat effects (higher damage to the undead, armored enemies, bosses, lower level enemies). It can lead to some interesting builds. However, due to each character having their own stat progression it tends to be better to play off their strengths. 2) How you accrue burst (think of bursting as a state that can cause some massive damage). The original built it up based upon combos and damage. This time you start with 3 unless your equipment modifies this. Characters with higher MP stay in that state longer than those with shorter MP bars. 3) The move set has been revamped to make certain attacks more viable such as jump attacks. Different characters are also more viable than others. I mostly played through the game as Solange (princess) and I was fine with that. Ali, a fast thief character, is also a viable choice. However, Zozo the necromancer completely wrecks opponents and bosses with her magic. Sometimes I felt like the game play was very fair. Other times, it was cheap as I got stun locked and lost a decent amount of health. Recovery items are rarely dropped by opponents. At least the game will give the characters you don't play half experience. There were a few times I needed to grind for 30 minutes to have the levels and gold to buy the necessary equipment to get through certain missions. Locking on to an opponent can help as attacks will then cause some extra damage. The 2 problems with it is that it can go away after a period of time, and you don't get a say who you'll lock onto when there are multiple enemies being hit at the same time. Locking on is also the main way to figure out how much health an enemy has compared to every other beat-em-up. Musically, the game is fine. There's nothing really offensive about it. The same is true for the sound effects. It's fine when I'm playing it, I have no desire to listen to it beyond that. If you gave me the choice of playing Guardian Heroes and Code of Princess, I would choose Guardian Heroes. The game is more focused, the overt customization between the 5 characters which changes how they play, and the game is a lot faster. Code of Princess can be fast and the mission based structure shows its 3DS roots. It also makes it super easy to jump in and out of the game. Once you beat a level, you can replay it in extra mode with any of the monsters or characters you've unlocked. So you're getting a fairly good value. Again, I'd rather Guardian Heroes. After playing a tad more than 7 hours, I'm done. I have no desire to go for any of the achievements. I don't enjoy the combat and equipment system enough to replay levels. At least the game makes skipping cutscenes super easy. I picked this game up for around 5 bucks. I wouldn't pay any more than that to play this game. Or you could go to the Xbox store and pay 5 bucks for the game I've been name dropping a ton throughout this review. So do I recommend this game? Well... I'm mixed about it.

This was remaster version of Code of Princess, which in this Steam, they have Code of Princess AND Code of Princess EX. The EX version was enhanced/remaster from the original version. The game was port from Nintendo version, so you need to re-configure your game controller if your controller was Xbox/PS version.

完全日本語対応はされてます とにかく動きが硬い、全体的にもっさりしてます アナログスティックより十字ボタン操作である程度は改善しますがそれでも全体的にテンポが悪く感じます １ステージが３～５分というショートステージ構成なのでどうしてもストーリーやキャラに 目を向ける事が多くなりますが、そちら方面は致命的に魅力が薄いなど ゲーム性もストーリーももう少し作りようがあったのでは？と思えるのです

Отличный слэшер,играть категорически интересно и увлекательно,всем советую!
