Why buy on GOG.COM?
DRM FREE. No activation or online connection required to play.
As other reviews stated, is too based on luck. In this sense, its remembers me "Faster than light" with a different subject, and no action.
To make it clear, I enjoyed FTL much more than LLtQ.
To survive certain events, you need to train her's skills several turns beforehand, and the game gives you no clue which one until it kills you.
Then its become a die&load festival.
This game is heavily inspired by princess maker, but it completely missed the point.
In long live the Queen, the events are set on fixed dates, and if you haven't raised the correct stats to the right number by that point... you die. There's just nothing you can do about it since these events play out as automatic cutscenes.
I was left feeling like it was a surprise quiz where I was expected to give the precise answer, before the question had even been handed out. And then as punishment I was told to take the whole course over again.
The constant failure caused by events I couldn't possibly plan for, set in cutscenes I couldn't do anything about, quickly became very frustrating and the lack luster ending doesn't justify it.
PM2 did it right. It gave us free range and had dozens of different possible endings based on the player's actions, so decisions had weight and impact. Long Live the Queen on the other hand, has a dozen ways to die and only one real (boring) ending that didn't even feel rewarding or justify the struggles required to reach it.
Verdict: It's lazily put together and not well thought out. Get Princess Maker 2 instead: it's compelling, fun to play, and it's freeware.
I had quite fun with this game.
It's rather short, which leads to the fact, that you can see the end after a few hours after you understand what you need to do. Took me around 3 hours.
You can try playing different scenarios so you can get some trophies and all versions of the dying princess... Took me too long, to be honest. In the end I clicked randomly hoping to get it as fast as possible.
I give it 4 stars because I really like the idea and the graphics of the game!!
The goal of this game is to get your princess to her coronation by beating obstacles (skill checks) in her way while still maintaining the type of princess you think she ought to be. A typical run-through looks like this: sign the princess up for weekly classes, react to events, fail a few skill checks, train those skill up, bumble through 2/3 of the game, SUDDENLY DIE. The princess has many forces gathering to kill her which grow in strength over the course of the game. Every game has the same timeline, but there are a lot of late-game events that can change depending on your earlier actions. To get the most out of the game, save a lot and aim to fill in all the achievements for every kind of death and every kind of ending.
This game is very popular among my stay-at-home mom friends because it can be picked up for a few minutes at a time and remains engaging under those conditions. I have also run this game as a forum game. It works because the graphics do not contribute much. They are...serviceable, standard Manga-type art. Everyone looks the same age and has the exact same face shape and stock expressions. Eh. Music is from the public domain. It is clear that not much time was spent on these elements.
Despite these things, I've gotten a lot of entertainment out of this game, probably more than any other game I've bought here. It seems to cross over and be enjoyable by almost any demographic.
This game is waiting for a review. Take the first shot!
