We tell you who should skip it, too.
Play it if you…
Good fit- Players who enjoy old-school RPGs with a 16-bit visual style.
- RPG fans who want a story about an irresponsible princess facing a world-threatening duty.

Skip it if you…
Saves you a refund- Players seeking a serious, duty-driven protagonist may bounce off Calliope's deliberately irresponsible characterization.
- Players who prefer a single-hero story may bounce off the party setup involving a bodyguard, soldier of fortune, and nomad.
- Players looking for a puzzle game rather than an RPG.
- Players seeking a management or survival-crafting adventure.
Our take on A Princess' Tale
Players seeking a solemn royal lead may bounce off the premise immediately: Calliope is introduced as an irresponsible princess whose lack of direction drives the story. Those expecting a solitary hero may also stop at the party setup, which places her alongside three distinct companions.
What is A Princess' Tale?
This retro role-playing game centers on Princess Calliope, a carefree heir who has spent her life avoiding duty and chasing distractions.
When an ancient force threatens to rise again, her royal lineage makes her the only person able to stop it. She sets out with an anxious protector, a cynical hired fighter, and a lovestruck wanderer. Together, they cross a world Calliope scarcely comprehends as she tries to avert disaster. Along the way, the responsibility placed on her may prompt her to become more mature.
