[Princess Maker 3] can be a very difficult and unintuitive installment, but [Michibiku] have a few tips that will help get you through this.
HPP: Not so very long ago, I had a real blast from the blast when reviewing Princess Maker 2 Refine, an enhanced edition of a classic daughter-raising simulator from the iconic anime studio GAINAX. Needless to say (but I’ll say it anyway) I was anxious with anticipation to play Princess Maker 3, ported and translated for Steam nearly twenty years after the original game was released way back in 1998. The main issue with Princess Maker 3 is that it’s not so much an enchanced version of a decades old classic as Princess Maker 2 Refine recently was, but a rather sloppy Steam port threatening to dirty the sheen of the original.
Some series don’t age well. Even if they belong to a genre that remains rather timeless, certain aspects and elements keep it from being as attractive as it once was. Couple that with an unfriendly user interface, translation that is atrocious and occasionally incomplete and issues that keep it from running properly or at all and [the gaming public at large] get Princess Maker 3: Fairy Tales Come True. It’s a dark spot on an otherwise-bright series.
