Cake and bloody chicken spots on the ground during a boss fight describes Fat Princess Adventures better than I ever could. Which is one of the game’s two major strengths: I don’t have to think while I’m playing it. This means your friend can hop in at the last level, open one chest for an appropriate weapon, and immediately be useful. While your character levels, it doesn’t seem to have much impact on the game: there’s no requirements for equipment and it doesn’t raise health. You can either find adventurers online, or couch co-op by having someone sign in and drop in with no issues. The lack of depth turns out to be a strength for the game’s multiplayer. Spawning, killing two flans that split into four, being overwhelmed and repeating for 10 minutes drained the fun for an entire chapter. A haunted forest is filled with slimes and bats that outrun and overpower you. Shielded enemies mercilessly watch one character, preventing you from attacking the weak point from behind. It’s worth noting I played this game for the most part solo, and by the end it was very clear this is a game meant to have friends play with you. Swapping classes is quick and easy, a major benefit for solo players. It also means if you neglect any one class, you may notice a sudden and unforgiving difficulty spike. The lack of options places heavy emphasis on matching your class, which you can change at every checkpoint, with the challenge ahead. Each of the four classes (Warrior, Mage, Engineer, Archer) have two attacks and four equipment slots with eight elemental types to help players across seven chapters. You may see the art style and hear the game described as “Baby’s First Diablo ,” and think Fat Princess Adventures is a walk through Candy Land. I would agree this would all be a little over the top, until you consider the amount of crude humor and bloody violence that is in a cutesy Saturday morning cartoon world, which definitely is over the top. Players traverse the punny world, eating cake to stay healthy. Six years after the successful release of Titan Studios ’ Fat Princess, Fun Bits Interactive takes over for the PlayStation 4 sequel as players return to Great Bitten to rescue princesses Muffintop and Plump from the evil Bitter Queen. (Our thanks to the folks at PlayStation and Sony Santa Monica for providing a review copy of Fat Princess Adventures.)
Fun Bits Interactive and Sony Santa Monica created exactly the game I needed in Fat Princess Adventures : short, simple and shallow in the best possible way.
