She’ll join your army (as the narrative goes), but first, for reasons the game never bothers to properly explain, she needs to be “punished”. It’s when you beat the boss that things go wild and the fan service kicks in. You can only have up to 20 cards in this deck, so there are some deck building strategies that you’ll need to apply between battles, and that’s a nice build on to the basic Battle Cats formula, though it’s by no means the most complex deck builder you’ve ever come across.Ĭampaigns take place over a number of smaller battles in the leadup to the boss, which is just a more difficult version of those smaller skirmishes. It’s exactly the same kind of play as the endlessly entertaining Battle Cats, with the one exception being that while you’ll have access to all your units at all times in Battle Cats, in Duel Princess there’s a card-based system in play, where you can only summon units from your hand, with new cards being drawn as you summon existing units to the field of battle. The first one to destroy an opponent’s base is the winner. They’ll attack any enemies they encounter along the way, or the base directly if there are no enemies left on the field. Duel Princess is a light strategy game, in which most of your time will be spent summoning characters to a 2D battlefield, where they will automatically make their way over to the opponent’s base. YouTube would have most definately objected to that.īut to reverse a bit before we get to the discussion about fan service, which will dominate discussion about this game.

My relief was doubled by the fact that, about 10 minutes after cutting the stream, I did defeat the first boss and was treated to a “punishment” scene which is… well, it’s out there. I played for about an hour, lost a couple of times without beating a boss, and then went offline to continue playing for this review. There was some ripping clothes and panty flashes, sure, but nothing too extreme. Imagine my relief when there wasn’t anywhere near enough fan service in the part that I streamed to get the YouTube algorithms involved. Nonetheless, the promise of fan service and Battle Cats-like light strategy was appealing to me, so I gave it a go. The developer/publisher, qureate, is known for visual novels that have enough heavy fan service to get coverage of the games demonetised on YouTube.

I was a little hesitant to stream Duel Princess on the DDNet YouTube channel.
