Funny, cute and entertaining
I had this game on my watchlist for some time and with a discounted price of about 4$ you can't go wrong if you like this kind of game. The only downside is a reduced replayability, because after a few playthroughs you know the general mechanics and events. The simple 1 week training cycle is ok, but a bit more customization would be great!

It's as cute as it is difficult
Being a fan of "Ace Attorney" myself, I decided to giv the game a try on a whim. After one successful approach I think it was a really fun game. "Long live the queen" is a visual novel. Now, I'd really like to give an informative review, sadly, it was to long. So, in basic, you are Elodie and you are about to become queen in a year. To do so, you pick your lessons for a week, to raise your knowledge of the subject of youir choice. However, Elodie is a bit moody. Certain skills can receive a bonus when in a certain mood, while others make barely any progress or won't progress at all. The mood can be controled by knowing how to spend the weekends for Edolie. Depending on your skill level and choices, the story will evolve in a different way. The problem is, though, that some decisions might lead into a dead end. If you ignored a certain skill or made the wrong move, the result can be deadly for Elodie. So, it is pretty much mandatory to use more than one safe file. Even if it is for being safe. The artwork, well, I'm no fan of this shojo manga style. But there's probably worse. But overall, I found this game to be very enjoyable. Still, I'd rather suggest you wait or this game to be in a promotion. The full price is a bit to steep, as one successful run doesn't take long.

A Great Time Sink but Repetitive
Off the bat, this game is a hoot. If you ever played the likes of Princess Maker, this will seem (at first) a lot easier. You'll then die several turns later due to some random action that you didn't prepare for. The game leads you through looking after the princess, ensuring she learns the correct skills she needs to survive in the dangerous world that surrounds her. What you end up doing though is playing till you die, taking note of what skill you should have had to prevent that death then replaying but ensuring your learn that skill. This makes for an enjoyable waste of time, and the dialogue can be pretty amusing at times (ie, any time you fail in general a certain conversation skill). It can get frustrating however when you save at a certain point only to realise its impossible to learn the correct skills to prevent a death. My advice would be to save often in new slots! The repetition is what ruins this game, as you'll find yourself typically falling down the same routes as you try to get to the end. The nature of the game makes it unavoidable but its likely to be the thing that spoils it for you. The music is sadly too grating to boot. If you can push through that, you'll have a highly amusing game, well worth the price tag. I actually wish there was a mobile version of this because it'd be ideal!

Like Princess Maker
If you adore Princess Maker, this is the game for you. In other words, you manage the life of a princess and develop her to your decisions. Do not play if you don't like this stuff :)

No one is safe, especially the princess!
Meet young Princess Elodie, a bright-eyed young princess suddenly thrown into a web of plotting nobles, black magic, and unforgiving commoners upon her mother's untimely death. Now she must survive and hold on to her throne long enough to reach her coronation, less than a year away. Long Live the Queen is a stat management game in which you must choose what Elodie learns in her quest to become queen. With a limited amount of time, you are forced to prioritize your time and determine what is most important. Do you spend your days learning military strategy or studying the history of the kingdom? Practicing your reflexes? Learning falconry? The addition of moods adds another layer to the puzzle, affecting how well Elodie learns certain subjects at any given time. Events have a complex and branching web of cause and effect, and nothing is random. Each choice and check has consequences down the line, and will affect events later in the game. There are countless different roads to coronation, each laced with different subplots and challenges along the way. Scholarly and wise, quick and silver-tongued, military and brutal; there is certainly no one way through the game, and discovering all the different paths will keep you occupied for dozens of hours. Long Live the Queen is a pleasantly challenging stat management game that will keep players on their toes. Highly recommended to anyone who enjoys a game of strategy and planning and a solid and detailed story.
