Princess Crown (プリンセスクラウン) is a Japanese Action-RPG developed by Vanillaware for the Sega Saturn video game system in 1997.
The game is a side-scroller with a medieval setting, and features real-time combat. It is possible to learn certain moves or button combinations which perform special attacks. As with many RPGs, experience points, money, and various items are obtained by defeating enemies.
Princess Crown begins with a little girl and her grandmother. The girl picks up a book and her grandmother starts reading the story of Princess Galadriel. The player then takes on the role of Galadriel throughout her adventure. After completing the story of Princess Galadriel, more books become available, which allow playing as other characters.
[edit] Legacy
The game was ported to Sony's handheld platform, the PlayStation Portable in 2005. The game is completely emulated, licensing an adapted version of Sega's Giri Giri Saturn emulator for the conversion. Neither Saturn nor PlayStation Portable versions were published outside of Japan.
A later game by Vanillaware, Odin Sphere, is considered a spiritual successor to Princess Crown[1].
