Princess Maker 5 review
by Mia Blais-Côté

Princess Maker 5, the last “main game” of the franchise. Since the schedule is weekly instead of monthly, the game is much, much longer to complete. A good 20-25 hours for one playthrough. The English translation is ok-ish, like the other Princess Maker games. Not perfect but you can understand what’s going on. This time around, the story happens in modern Japan instead of a fantasy kingdom. You can be a dad or a mom, which is a nice option. The plot does have some dark elements, which I like, and some “bad” ends but nothing like in PM2, aka the Harlot and Bondage Queen endings. Anyway, a solid game I recommend.

It'S a good simulation game. But Unfortunately here we received the old version of the year 2007. The controls are old, there are crashing errors. Fortunately I received constant updates to solve these problems and runs "well" in Windows 10. I don't like music at all. Art is beautiful. There Is much greater freedom and flexibility about what we can do with our daughter. Turn her into a mob boss. Yakuza. Nerd Freeky who adores manga and anime. With more than 48 different finishes and a lot more variety. I Feel it's worth recommending. If You're fans, You're going to like it. If you are new to this saga, I would recommend that you first buy Princess Maker 2, is more subtle, works well on PC (Windows 7/10).

I had a great time playing Princess Maker 5. The game is on the whole is very well realized even if there are some problems of bugs and texts in the dialogues. Fortunately, these are minor problems without any harm to the gameplay. Princess Maker 5 is a blend of Princess Maker 2 and 3 on Saturn. Its management part is closer to that of Princess Maker 3, while its RPG part is closer to that of Princess Maker 2. The main scenario was working very well putting that the main character who originally came from the medieval era was sending in modern times to escape from demons who want to kill her in order to eliminate the last candidate who could become a Princess. At the beginning of the game, we feel more like playing a pure management set on life simulation. But as soon as our daughter is 12 years old, that's when the real serious things start when some of the assassins manifest themselves in an attempt to kill her. The heroine will find at this time the memory of the tragedy of her real family who have been murdered by demons and that it is at this time that Adventure mode is available and that the player is free of his choice if he wants to make her a Princess or not. Graphically, the Jer is very beautiful. The characters have been well drawn and give the impression of reading a manga, the music are very good qualities and pleasant to listen. On the other hand, the voices of the characters are too strong. They break their ears a little. Fortunately, we can disable them in the options. The gameplay is very good and easy to take in hand. The mouse moves very well. There's no problem of slowing down or heaviness. The level of difficulty is well balanced. It is not difficult to manage the activities of our daughter for the management part in order to educate her to either make her a Princess or to get a normal career or make her a super heroine. The lifespan is very good. You will spend many hours playing this strong title. There are so many new features that it will take you several parts to make the complete tour of the game. Whether it is to master the management part or RPG to try to advance the scenario. Princess Maker 5 is a very good game that I recommend to anyone who has loved playing Princess Maker 2 and 3.
