Mad Princess: The Great Gladiators

It is a nice little game with combat mechanics based on what weapon and armour you are wearing at the moment in dungeon crawler style battles, after all it is pretty much a dungeon crawler. After the prologue you are given total freedom to do what you want to pay of your debt. This is pretty much the games strength and weakness, you are given freedom to visit dungeons, fight in the arena, do quests and trade with zero to no instructions as to what to do or where to go. There is nice character story arcs if you can find them and a main story to go with it. The game surely has some soul: The pixels sprites of the characters are really nice. The combat, story and world have some thought put into it. As for presentation, the game is good. It also has a basic relationship system which determines if certain characters can become companions. Also, multiple endings. But: The game is grindy, you will grind for levels, but the most important things to survival in the late game is gear. You can buy gear, but it is random and the price increases with your level so I will say this right here to ease your adventure: GEAR PROGRESSION IS BEST DONE IN THE DUNGEONS. Once you have cash to buy the cheapest keys go into dungeons and grind those chests. When your level is high enough the lowest chests will give equipment you can sell for 5000 while a key cost around 200. After a while you can get some silver chests. You can also do small fetch quests, which has the rewards balanced so that if you buy the items elsewhere ( certain items can only be bought certain places ) you will have a profit. Items also can be sold for higher prices from place to place (trading sim). Also, your character portrait changes depending on your weapon and if the weapon is good. A nice little touch. Do I recommend this game? Yes. It is kind of underappreciated. It is a solid game in the sea of low effort animesque games on the platform. This game sure is not for everyone, but if you like grinding, character stories and exploring this game is for you. Spoiler: [spoiler] to beat the final boss you must have top tier gear and weapons, and top tier companion with good equipment [/spoiler]

So let's see... I played this game for 14h now and I really like it. The battle system is unique and every NPC is unique in some way. Each weapon offers another battle style and leveling + achievements grants you some points, which you can use to upgrade your skills and abilities. Once you figure out the strength and weakness of each weapon and get some upgrades for them the game gets a lot easier... [spoiler] except the battle against the dragon goddess... still can't beat it. I don't think grinding a lot is the best solution, maybe I did a mistake in the special stats of my weapon? well, have to play it again to see what was/is my problem. Maybe the battle itself is unbalanced or there is something I have to do before I'm able to beat her... [/spoiler] Well, it's best to discover all the different ways to get stronger and to get money by oneself. Then, except for leveling, there is another thing one can do in this game. Build up relationships, so NPCs can join you on your quest. Normally one only needs to get some relationship-points so a little side-story is created but getting these points to max allows you to switch gear with your companion. (so you can either give them better weapons and armor so they can fight at your side much better or take their equipment, which can be better than your own, and dump them afterwards lol) In summary it's a very nice game which still could be improved by a lot. Balance fixes maybe, a little more story and some more help if stuck would be nice. I give this game 8,5/10, it was worth the money. A bigger community (or any English community at all) to exchange strats and other thoughts would be nice, so I hope to see some more attention for this nice game!

I've just started but so far the game been good. It is JRPG combat style RPG with form what I saw a semi open world (you can travel everywhere from map). You combat abilities change depends on what weapon you equip. Economy is rather simple as far as I am now.

Decent game. Feels a little hollow in terms of plot and interaction (given there's a relation system), but the combat system is fairly good, lots to see and buy. More of a grindfest then a story, so know that is what your in for. Doesn't overstay it's welcome and it's fairly cheap. I kind of wonder if the story always plays out as fast as it did for me or if I triggered it to move forward, since in the latter case feels like you don't have a lot of time to see the extra content. I'd say it delivered a good value, and is worth picking up if you want to play a gladiator themed game, which for some reason all seem to be weak on the story side. probably give it a 7/10 +/- 0.5

The game is simple in is mindset : Get Good or Die. This aside it is really fun gawe were there is what i would say a good balance between freedom and duty. And for the last boos you have no choice " Be over farma overleveled ". I had to use weapon and side character that allowed to stun/disable my opponents a lot

A quite well-crafted experience. The game is what it is, a decent turn-based RPG that has a lot of grinding, battling, and secret huntings. The developers truly put a lot of attention to the arts, I love it. The characters are believable, their stories are engaging. Many different kind of weapons, and enchantments for both weapons and armors. Various different endings. There are some setbacks however: - The grind is a bit too much in my opinion, and if you happen to, like me, reach endgame gears without having conquered all dungeons, you are in for a "boring clicking without brain" time. - Too many important events happening early in the game, when you don't really know anything yet. - No multiple save slot. The grind is real, I can't find any motivation doing a new game and make different choices. - No equipment customization until mid-late game, and even then, the game still does not let the players choose which enchantment they want to keep. - No speed stats, the player always go first, making defense builds on defensive weapons irrelevant, and full-offensive build too meta. Anyhow, I still recommend this game due to the fact that the devs really show their love for this game through the art and their attention on little details, it is also very fitting for it's price.

A niche unrefined gem JRPG title utilizing the game engine known as the Wolf Engine. I sunk many hours to reach the ending I desired. There's a lot of characters in this game, all of them tied to a relationship system, and most of them have a progression arc for them. It does not go beyond best friends however which I feel is a bit of a flaw for this game. There are 30+ epilogues depending on your choices. The weapon type one uses is the equivalent of a class system in this game. Sticking with one you like is incentivized although RNG might make it difficult to acquire/enhance/experiment to the player's full benefit. Being an indebted gladiator you spend most of your time fighting, trading, dungeon delving, and befriending people through alcohol and gifts. For dungeons and bosses in particular be sure to have items to aid your health on hand. I recommend it for those who don't mind the art style and want a soft adventuring experience.

Great Game

i love this game more than life itself. I don't love life at all, actually... ...huh. ok. I love this game so much i would commit several felonies and a war crime for it. and a klondike bar, of course. and a snickers, because i'm always hungry and you're never you when you're hungry, right?
