There’s a certain appeal to revisiting games. It can produce alternate interpretations of the original, reuse aspects of it in interesting ways, or simply reproduce an aesthetic that hasn’t been seen in a while. Code of Princess is, at the least, a clear attempt that follows the logic of those approaches. It has a clear goal of being a successor to 1996’s Saturn RPG-brawler hybrid, Guardian Heroes, to the point where it even brings that game’s director and programmer aboard for development. Even without that knowledge it would be clear; there’s a heavy aesthetic debt to Guardian Heroes here, everything from combat to menu layouts feels recognizable.
