Princess Remedy: In A Heap of Trouble

About

Princess Remedy: In A Heap of Trouble mixes shooty action with RPG progression in a bizarrely charming indie adventure. You play as a trainee healer stuck dealing with a giant Boss Tower that’s yanking towns into the sky. Your main gig is zapping enemies while using healing skills to unlock companions. Each one you save grants a unique power like dashing or homing fire. The game bounces between combat and quirky side quests including a surprisingly awkward dance-off. This prequel to the beloved Princess Remedy series adds more bosses and hidden antics while keeping the same goofy tone. It’s a short but punchy experience with a cult following, community reviews praise its over-the-top story and retro pixel art. Released in 2016, it still runs smooth on most setups. With single-player only and no hand-holding, it’s a niche pick for those into offbeat action games with a dash of schoolyard romance.

Storyline

An enormous Boss Tower has sprung from the ground, lifting entire towns up with it. Now, the people living on the tower are starting to contract all sorts of mysterious illnesses. Princess Remedy, still in Saturnian healing school, must use her powers to heal everyone and defeat the Boss Tower!
