Code of Princess Ex Nintendo Switch Review

Is it worth $1.99? Thinking about snagging it but don’t know if it’s even worth the time.

Just got this on PC!

Looked like a fun enough game n i got it for 2.99 usd/euro so cheap i guess!!

Thanks 4 this video(dont now if there is any difference between pc n switch version of this game!!?=..

I’d give it a really solid 8. I think it’s a blast. I look at it as a beat ‘em up more than an RPG. And boy, I love me a good beat ‘em up. This is one of them. I’ve only played it on the 3ds though.

This game is very annoying, at higher difficulty levels mobs juggle you in a way that you can't react or counteract, I could swear you can increase your speed stat in the 3DS game but not in this one, I don't have a 3ds to test it right now unfortunately, but I feel this is the worst drawback of the game, you can max up a character and will still feel slow, that makes things worse again because there comes a point at which normal mobs or bosses can counterattack faster than your next hit in the combo. It can get very infuriating.

I don't know, I loved the 3DS version of this game and found it enjoyable, but damn this EX version feels more like a downgrade for some reason.

''It's hard to justify 39.99'' ... I would love to agree here in the future. But right now I can't find an English version of this game under $120 used. So yeah... it seems people did find a way to justify it.

Thanks for the Review the game is interesting.Thanks for the Upload!!!

The lack of English dub completely ruins almost all of emble and semble's jokes.

As a fan of Guardian Heroes, I cannot recommend this game. The difficulty balancing feels way worse. Solange herself feels incredibly weak and slow compared to any other characters, and the level grinding is an awful boring grind that was never in GH.

It's 10 bucks should I get it?

I bought this game and regret it. I'd avoid buying... It's just not good

This is only the third time I have strongly disagreed with you guys.. I bought this on the 50% sale and played for 3 hrs before and loved every minute of it.. so unless something drastically changes later...Some critics have been harsh on this one. Some liked it a lot though. I guess it's a love it or hate it game. This is actually the first time I've gone against your review and purchased a game after i knew you gave it a low score. The other 2 instances are games I already owned and in one case hated and you guys liked it, (aces of liftwaffe, what crap), and in the other also liked it and you guys didn't..Maybe you guys were not huge guardian heroes fans? I took the risk because every video I saw made it LOOK like a game I would love, despite the low scores.. and I was right.. It's interesting isn't it how different we all are when it comes to specific games.. Like if a game is really bad, in general, (fallout 76 anyone), people won't like it en masse. But there's certain kinds of games where the opinion is very divided and I think this is one of those games. Anyway, I recommend it, and it's 50% off right now.. so.. anyone on the fence might want to give it a go at it's sale price. :) I still give you a thumbs up of course! Never a down cause I appreciate the work you put into the review and every human being is entitled to their opinion :).

The reviewers voice is very robotic sounding and stiff with small pauses in strange places, it’s clear it’s being read from a script (not necessarily a bad thing btw) there’s no emotion or anything and it’s coming across as flat which is a shame because it is a well written and produced review but the voiceover seems disingenuous, almost to the point I’m not convinced he’s actually played the game himself so question the critiques that are being made which is not a good sign for a video review.

Hi the game is on sale on the eshop now. I love beat em ups so would you say it was worth £17.99?

This is currently on sale in the US eshop, pretty sure it’s 50% off. Think I might pick it up for that price.

This game was pretty average on 3ds. Wouldn't mind trying it again, but not at no $40

Your videos are the shine of my night. Love your reviews <3

thanx for the review, will be picking this up when there is a sale. for now there's still octopath and dead cells for me to play.

I bought this on the eshop two years ago on my 3ds. I only got about three hours in before finding something else to play. I might have to try again, looks fun.

Interesting 🤔, awesome review James 👍🏽.. but $40 is pretty steep though.. wow

When they put it on sale I will buy it.

I actually bought a Switch console for this game (although I did pick up Octopath Traveller as well). I own the 3DS version, but I've never gotten around to playing it, so when I saw that a remastered version was coming out for the Switch, I decided to grab it.

Having a lot of fun with it, and with my busy work schedule during the week it's great for quick sessions, but also works for longer marathons as leveling up the large cast of characters by replaying different levels (and the other various play modes) really can eat up time.

I personally really like the visuals, and for me the Japanese audio is a plus (I hate dubbed versions of anything - games, movies, anime, etc.). I've only played this docked, so I can't say how it would look on the Switch when in handheld mode, but I don't have any complaints in this regard.

And I actually thought the price was reasonable, when you consider that most Switch games (at least the physical releases), seem to be around the $50 - $60 range, at least for the 1st party titles. I was also happy to find out that the 1st run editions of the physical copy include a demo soundtrack CD, as well as an honest to goodness instruction manual (how long has it been since we've gotten one of those)!

So yeah, a great purchase for me. As a fan of Guardian Heroes back in the day, finding a game that could be considered a spiritual successor to that title was a nice treat. Been meaning to pop in my 3DS copy for years, but now with the EX version I can enjoy the upgrades all while playing on the big screen, my preferred method.

Great review, and I agree with you. I've played this on the 3DS and it does seem pricey on the Switch. I like the game, but I got tired of it real fast, especially when I realized that the other characters (50) can only be used outside the campaign.

Very fair review. Thoughts from someone who double-dipped (own 3DS version too): This should NOT have retailed for $40, even with the extra physical goodies, slightly upgraded visuals, and improved frame rate. $29.99 is more reasonable. Especially with better values out right now in this lower price range, such as Sonic Mania, Dead Cells, and Steamworld Dig 2, just to name a few. The most unforgivable disappointment about this so-called "EX" release is the absence of the English dub. I know the reason it isn't here is because of red-tape with the previous publisher, Atlus. But still, for 40 freakin' dollars, something should have been worked out. It's a fun game, though.

I really want this game - great review!

Reboot? Isn't it more of a re-release or remaster?

To be honest, most of these animu games are generally of really poor and rushed quality; Nights of Azure, Code of Princess, Shining Resonance, Gal*Gun 2, Atelier Lydie and Suelle plus some other animu games you guys have also reviewed.

The 3DS version has englisg voice acting? ...okay, I know what version I am buying.

Guardian Heroes outclasses this game big time, in every regard. This is still a fun time though.

Great Review man I agree with the price is to high. I don't think it deserves a 5.5 though maybe a 7.0 or 7.5. It's still a good game and lots of fun

Excellent review! However, Dead Cells is to good to drop. Thank you!
