Description
In Fat Princess, up to 32 players compete in rescuing their princess from the enemy castle. A red and a blue team each have their own base and must ensure, capture-the-flag-style, that their prisoner stays in the dungeon while they must somehow get their own princess back onto her rightful throne.
There are five classes in the game: mage, archer, warrior, worker and priest. Players can change to any class by picking up their corresponding hat. The maps contain several structures that should be built by the workers to give ones own team an advantage - these require harvesting resources first though. An additional important feature is feeding the princess cake to make her heavier. This makes it more difficult for the other team to carry her away.
The game contains other modes besides the rescue-the-princess-mode: there's a single player story mode, team deathmatch and a checkpoint-control-mode. An additional feature is the arena, where the player can fight using each class gladiator-style to survive as many levels as possible.

The Good
Excellent gameplay with bright colours and wonderful visuals. The essence of the gameplay was unique for a multiplayer capture the flag. The ability to make the princess (flag) slow you a carrier down more through cake. The many classes and their dual abilities being able to switch between them at a button press made gameplay quite fun. with the Worker class it assists in strategy a bit more as a well placed bomb can be quite devastating. The gameplay bred a tournament scene even.
The Bad
The DLC it had changed the dynamic a bit much. while the classes were fun even with the base classes still played, the dynamic changed so much that strategies started to gravitate primarily toward it. also while workers are useful to use bombs, it's a double edged sword. while workers themselves are severely underpowered and the Big bomb you get from upgrading workers can be used effectively against you as the position of the workers shop was near the front gate.
The Bottom Line
A fun game all around with some minor tweaks it could be legendary but for now. If you got to play it, I hope you have good memories as much as I have.
