Previous to the fight you see what you’re up against as well as choosing your own troops based on their weaknesses. Similar in execution to Sieges, Skirmishes pit two opposing armies against each other in a game of rock/paper/scissors. This leaves the hardest of the modes, Skirmishes, for last.

On the upside, completing quests over and over again doubles as a good way to make money to buy new weapons and armor as you as well as upgrade your favorite weapons. This does mean that players will spend a good deal of grinding to build up character levels to take on tougher foes. For example swordsmen are only as strong in level as Plume is. The trick to combat in this mode is that each unit type is only as strong as the playable character of the same type. Sieges, one of the two remaining modes, pits you usually up against huge boss fights as your party of up to three members is accompanied by an army of soldiers at your back. While it at first seems pointless to choose more than 1-2 characters to bring along in normal combat it actually matters quite a bit in the other two battle types. Before heading into battle you can choose which characters you bring and they can be switched in and out at any time by hitting the L2/R2 buttons. While Plume in the obvious character to play as, she is not alone in battle as you meet new characters to fight alongside her, which you can in turn control yourself. Aptly named “Combat” mode has you hack ‘n slashing at a giant dragon and a little later fat pandas and birds as you progress from one side of the screen to the other in classic 2D style. Right from the start you are presented with the first and most enjoyable bits of combat that the game offers. The game doesn’t allude to this fact at all and I had to find out the hard way. Before you get too deep in the J-Pop and swordplay make sure you enable the auto-save as it is turned off by default. I will get one tiny annoyance out of the way though. It’s actually surprising that Battle Princess of Arcadias does have a serious nature as it is surrounded by classic RPG tropes and iconic NIS humor that I’ve come to expect out of the developer/publisher. You play as the overly naïve red-haired princess, who doesn’t understand that death is permanent, as you dispatch countless number of monsters across three very unique combat modes in this serious yet lighthearted storybook tale of espionage and betrayal. No I don’t know why though it makes a bit of sense as to why the princess’s name is nothing short of a fowl reference.
Oh yeah and you’re given your orders from your brother, The King, who just happens to be a goose. As the title implies you indeed play as Plume, the Battle Princess of the Schwert Kingdom, as you protect humanity from a variety of terrifying (and sometimes cute) monsters from destroying everything in sight. The latter of the two was co-developed and published by Nippon Ichi who more recently teamed up with Apollosoft to take a page from Vanillaware’s art book with the release of Battle Princess of Arcadias for the PlayStation 3.īattle Princess of Arcadias, a PSN downloadable exclusive, finds its home on NIS’s favorite console as it manages to combine three different styles of gameplay under one aesthetically pretty roof. While published under two different companies both games featured an aesthetically pleasing 2D presentation though their combat gameplay differed. We’ll report back if we hear more in the future.During the tail end of the PS2’s run, I played two very unique Vanillaware RPG titles in the forms of Odin Sphere and GrimGrimoire.
