Dice and the Tower of the Reanimator: Glorious Princess Reviews

big game for people who like rng (me)

[h1]Bambooblade or Bamboofist?[/h1] [h2]Story[/h2] Bambooblade's one and only mission in this game is to climb the Reanimator's tower to find the cure to Princess Gloria's disease. There really isn't much else to the story until the end of the game, where you discover that there was actually a major decision point in the very first stage of the game that determines whether or not you'll kill or spare your enemies, and you'll have to replay the game to get the other ending. This decision point actually helps set up the conflict between the light countries and the Dark Realm in future installments of the Peacemaker series. Although the Glorious Princess herself is mentioned in the title, we don't really get a lot of characterization for her, since she spends most of the game in the castle. We also don't really get the same amount of worldbuilding as Hero King Quest, so it's hard to tell what Bambooblade's homeland is like. At the very least, it's implied that the Silver Kingdom has different priorities from the Cerulean Land, but these priorities aren't specified. That said, there is a decent amount of characterization for the Reanimator, making it easier to appreciate her role in future installments. [h2]Gameplay[/h2] The gameplay is almost exactly the same as Case 02: Paranormal Evil. You have to make dice rolls to overcome events, and the number of dice you get depends on your stats. Personally, I find that this gameplay results in a lot of reloads on higher difficulties and is very punishing if you choose the wrong events to clear, so I played on the standard difficulty to save myself time. Unlike Paranormal Evil, you can spare enemies by defeating them without a weapon, but this also makes strength checks harder and makes the final boss harder. The good ending is also locked behind a fist-only run, though there's still enough room for error on standard difficulty. I don't know if a fist run is possible on hard and extreme difficulty though, and I don't think I've seen any video uploads of the game on those modes. [h2]Verdict[/h2] 7.5/10 This review is very short because the gameplay is something I have seen before and the story is also very simple and short compared to other games in the Peacemaker and Physical Exorcism series. However, I rated it higher than Paranormal Evil because I like the surprise twist of having a pacifist ending and I liked that the final boss gets a new moveset on this route to differentiate her from Gla'aki.
