Destructoid- I think Code of Princess will go on to be one of those cult-classic games that gamers will bring up in their 'must-play games' list for the 3DS, just like Guardian Heroes. It's really that good. That 'spiritual successor' label? Totally worthy. This is a beautifully crafted side-scrolling beat-'em-up that has no equal on the 3DS, and the love that went into the localization makes it that much better. If you've found yourself longing an old-school beat-'em-up with a real substance, challenge, and polish, you owe it to yourself to check out Code of Princess.
Here are a few of my favorites that have slipped under a few radars over the last five years.
Nope. Code of Princess and Yoshi's New Island aren't really that great at all. They are below-average. I wanted to like Code of Princess but from framerate to voice acting and terrible characters I couldn't come to like it one bit other than the gameplay can be challenging at times. Design wise it well down but the flaws hold it back a lot.
Yoshi's New Island is just boring and average. While the visual are very good for the art it used but the overused music and super easy where you beat the game in 2-7 hours.
Gary Hartley Writes: Code of Princess is a silly game. But it’s smart about it, has the foresight and the self-awareness to poke fun at itself. This is hugely appreciated, as the tale being told is one of a ditzy princess who wears just enough armour to keep the game below an R rating. She bumbles her way through an unorganized quest with the aid of a sword bigger than she is. It's all difficult to take seriously. So, don’t. Nobody in the game does, and they’re all the happier for it.
Started it on 3DS, didn't go too further...eh, unfortunately I liked it less than what I hoped :(
Code of Princess is a modern take on old fashioned arcade action with some RPG elements thrown in for good measure.
Good to see the 3DS getting more of those "cult hits" that made the DS so freakin' amazing.
