Princess Kaguya

About

Princess Kaguya is a side-scrolling action game where you control a warrior princess in feudal Japan. Wielding a kendama and bow, you fight through waves of foes to rescue your captured sister. Combat mixes quick melee strikes with ranged attacks, requiring timing and positioning to survive tougher enemies. The story unfolds in short, punchy levels that balance platforming and brawling. The game stands out for its vibrant anime-inspired visuals and snappy combat loops. While the 2015 release date means it’s showing its age, fans of classic beat ’em ups appreciate the straightforward design. The focus on traditional Japanese aesthetics and family-driven plot gives it a distinct charm. Single-player only, but the difficulty spikes keep replayability for those who enjoy mastering the mechanics.
