What players say

Players split on Guardian's Guide. Fans of Princess Maker and Volcano Princess praise the cute art and deep simulation-RPG hybrid. Others criticize the slow pacing and excessive length, especially for working adults. Late-game combat devolves into tank-and-spank, and some say the dialog reads like a poor translation. A few call it an 'illusion of choice' due to the quest structure.
