[edit] Development
A two week public beta for the game was held in April.[1]
There have been several conflicting reports concerning the game's release date. While some sources previously indicated the game would be ready by "late June",[2] it was recently confirmed by the SCEE PlayStation Store team that, while the game will have a simultaneous global release, its release window can only be given as "[at] some point this summer".[3]
[edit] Gameplay
Fat Princess puts the player on a team consisting of up to 16 male and female cartoon characters, with the main goal in the game to rescue their team's princess held captive by an opposing team, although team-deathmatch and other online modes are also available. The player can choose from ten dessert-themed levels such as Coco Cliffs and Black Forest.
At the start, each of the teams will already have their opponent's princess held captive. In order to make their opponent's task in rescuing her more difficult, the player can give more and more food to the princess they have captured, so that she will become fatter and heavier, and the opponent's team will need larger number of players to carry her.[4]
The game's mechanics have the player control a standard 3D, cel-shaded, character at the fort, castle, or stronghold. There are five machines at the player's fort, each producing hats. Depending on which hat gets picked up and put on, the player gets different abilities. The game consists of five classes: the mage, priest, warrior, worker and ranger. Each has its own set of unique weapons and play style.
Each attack or ability can be made more powerful by holding the square button. Holding the square button, for example, allows the mage to make an area of effect attack, which deals damage to all enemy players in his proximity.
The players are able to upgrade their hat producing machines to enhance the strength and abilities of each individual classes. In order to upgrade certain machines, players must use resources, gathered by workers. The resources are wood and metal, which are gathered outside of castle walls.
Additionally, two single-player modes have been announced. The first is "Legend of the Fat Princess", a story mode with gameplay similar to that of the multiplayer mode. The other is Gladiate, which is a survival match, testing the player's ability to face an endless stream of enemies in an arena.[5]
