Code of Princess is a side-scrolling action-adventure game that combines hack-n-slash elements with RPG features. Developed by a director known for their work on Guardian Heroes, this game is reminiscent of the influential Saturn title.
The story follows Princess Solange as she battles to save her kingdom from monstrous invaders. Joined by a group of allies, each with unique abilities, Solange must overcome the challenges ahead and defeat the evil forces threatening her home. The narrative is typical of anime-inspired games, with a focus on action-packed combat and character development.
Code of Princess features fast-paced side-scrolling gameplay, where players must navigate through stages, using a combination of movement and strategy to overcome enemies. Each character has distinct controls, but all share the same basic gameplay mechanics. Players can switch between different planes of action, moving forward or backward in 3D space, and use this movement to their advantage.
The game's design encourages frequent leveling up, as players complete numerous short levels to progress through the story. As players progress, they can assign skill points to six attributes: Vitality, Piety, Attack, Defense, Mind, and Speed. These attributes can be tailored to suit each character's strengths and weaknesses.
Players can customize their characters independently, allowing for diverse playstyles. For example, Solange's slow but powerful nature can be built upon, while Ali's speed can be emphasized. This flexibility adds depth to the gameplay experience, as players must adapt their strategies to succeed.
Code of Princess also features a Free Play mode, where players can replay story missions without cutscenes or dialogue. Bonus missions provide additional challenges and twists on the main storyline, often exceeding the difficulty of regular missions. These bonus levels serve as 'pro' challenges for experienced players.
During combat, players can lock onto enemies, increasing damage output and exploiting their weaknesses. The Burst system allows for devastating attacks, but also drains magic meters. Players can purchase better equipment in a shop, although it is limited compared to traditional RPGs.
The game utilizes the Nintendo 3DS's local and online multiplayer capabilities, featuring leaderboards and co-op play. This mode unlocks additional playable characters, including many enemy units from throughout the game.
