Parallax Play:"Among the multiple announcements by NIS America today, Battle Princess of Arcadias, a sidescrolling action adventure game from Nippon Ichi Software was confirmed for a EU and US release this year, as a digital exclusive on Sony's Playstation Store. The game sees you fighting waves of enemies in real-time battles while you travel through the kingdom of Schwert as the Battle Princess Plume. As the princess, it's up to you to rid your kingdom of monsters by recruiting several warriors and taking on any enemies that stand in your way."
Battle Princess of Arcadias is an action role-playing game that places you in the role of Princess Plume, a hardened battle princess that has sworn to protect her kingdom and loyal subjects from danger. To our heroine’s dismay, however - a ‘great’ evil takes the kingdom by surprise, decimating everything and everyone in its path. Plume vows vengeance against the great evil, but she must rebuild the kingdom’s brigade (i.e. army) first before she can defeat it.
Brett wrote: Although Battle Princess of Arcadias was frustrating at times, for the most part I enjoyed this game. The core gameplay of the combat missions are the real strength, and offer hours and hours of hack and slash fun. Being able to replay each mission adds more value to the game, but some missions you won’t want to play again. In addition, the game also comes with plenty of side missions that are completely optional for you to play through. If you’re willing to overlook the frustrating parts, Battle Princess of Arcadias is a solid experience.
If you are looking for a side scrolling RPG with challenge and varied gameplay, Battle Princess of Arcadias is the goose you need to cook.
