Gameplay

Unlike its predecessor, Fat Princess Adventures is a 4-player, co-op hack-and-slash dungeon crawler. Players can switch between four character classes at any time, Warrior, Mage, Archer, and Engineer, each with their own unique abilities and progression paths. At certain points within the game, the princesses serve as non-playable guides to the players, assisting with magic attacks, healing spells, and turning enemies into cake. [3]

Reception

Fat Princess Adventures has received mixed reviews from critics, scoring 66 out of 100 on Metacritic, [5] and 66.67% on GameRankings. [4]

Mark Steighner of Hardcore Gamer gave the game a 4 out of 5: " Fat Princess was subversive, politically incorrect and unexpectedly complex in its strategy and depth. Fat Princess Adventures trades a little of that depth for a more straightforward, action RPG-focused design". [7] Chris Carter from Destructoid rated the game a 7/10: "Fat Princess Adventures is an enjoyable distraction for hardcore fans of the hack-and-slash genre, but now I just want a proper new Princess game". [6]
