This game never takes itself seriously, and the hilarity kept me pushing through the campaign for the sake of seeing more silliness. You regain health by eating cake dropped by foes, and eating while at full health grows your character as obese as a fat princess for a short time. I’ve ventured out to encounter Vegan Pirates and brawl against ghostly bakers (that are apparently part of a baking reality show?). From the narrator to the absurd situation currently at hand, I found myself cracking up at a variety of things. It's easy for me to define this game's strongest highlight – its humor. Be it through music, story, or gameplay mechanics, Fat Princess Adventures will always find a way to shower you with its wit and personality. It’s weird, yes, but that’s how the game is. One boss required a Chicken Wheel: a chicken and metal flooring. These encounters have interesting mechanics that entail making the bosses vulnerable to your attacks. You encounter a good amount of them during the campaign, and they start off in an invincible state. Bosses in the game are fun to play rather than tough to beat. You get swarmed pretty quickly, leading to a few deaths, so I had to be alert at all times. Playing online or with friends couch co-op style can alleviate the basic gameplay through the sheer chaos of multi-player mayhem.įat Princess Adventures may look charming and childlike thanks to the saccharine visuals, but this game is no walk in the park. This is more apparent while playing the campaign solo. However, combat with each class, despite the bonus effects from your equipment, can become simple and repetitive in the end. It was interesting to mix and match the different pieces of equipment, switching classes every now and then based on the current situation. For example, a shield that gives your Warrior a chance to recover health from a successful block a dagger for your Archer that can ensnare enemies in a web and slow them down or a piece of gear that emits electricity around the Engineer as he jumps, damaging enemies near him. These new pieces of equipment are not to just to increase your damage input or defense they also provide passive abilities to your class. As you progress, you will find chests and enemies that drop loot. Once near, simply pressing the directional buttons on the PS4 controller allows you to quickly change your class, providing new attacks to play around with, different life totals, and class-specific gear. The kicker here is that you can swap between the four classes available (Warrior, Archer, Mage, Engineer) once you approach the class monuments placed everywhere in the game. You have square as your primary attack, and triangle as your secondary attack, and each of these attacks have a charged version if you hold the button. But of course peace is only short-lived, and you and a bunch of friends head out for cake and country! The two sides have found a way to live together. The play style may now be different, but the charm from the original game still remains. With Fat Princess Adventures, it’s now a 4-player co-op hack-and-slash RPG, placing you and your friends on an adventure to face the evil Bitter Queen. Was this a good change for Fat Princess? Let’s dig in. Now in 2015, the franchise remains a Sony exclusive and moves forward with a different approach on the PS4. It was highly recommended back in the day as the digital game to get if you owned a PS3. Back when the original Fat Princess hit the PS3 in 2009, at a glance I always thought of it as a cute but bloody 32-player online game with a hilarious mechanic that made it tougher for the opposing team to rescue their princess.
