Factions can be levelled up making them more deadly, but combat still remains largely unrewarding. You can lock on to an opponent with L1 and attack with the Square button. Given the isometric look of Fat Princess and the balance of the factions, we found combat to be rather unsatisfying in the game. Given the super smooth look of the game it's surprising to see the game simply pause for a few seconds. But it's also kind of half the fun.ĭespite connection and lag issues on launch (which we've overlooked for the purposes of this review, going by Titan Studio's promises that the issues will be resolved soon), we've also encountered frame-rate and freezing issues in both single-player and online. Which can be daunting given the amount there is to discover. Otherwise it's a case of learning the HUD and learning the game. Explanation is given in the form of a vague textual manuscript and some on-screen hints.

The game also adds a hint of melodrama to its gameplay proceedings from the ostentatious gore to the outlandish vocal phrases.
