The game's story, centered around elections, offers a mix of excitement and disappointment; while it features a fun choose-your-own-adventure style with multiple endings, many players feel the main plot lacks depth and cohesion. The non-linear gameplay allows for exploration of various character arcs and side quests, but some reviewers noted that key story elements and character developments are underwhelming or unresolved. Overall, while the setting and gameplay mechanics are engaging, the narrative may not satisfy those seeking a strong, cohesive storyline.
- “Fun story with a ton of endings.”
- “The non-linear gameplay is cool, and this game greatly rewards multiple playthroughs as you slowly uncover the true 'main story' and learn what's really going on.”
- “Interesting story, interesting gameplay, interesting setting.”
- “The story lacks the focus of the first game and is not engaging in the least.”
- “But main story beats are largely non-existent, making the game feel a bit dull.”
- “Zorana's brother, mother, and Crystal Nova play a big role in the plot, but you never visit Nova, find out more about your mother (at least in the multiple playthroughs I've finished so far), see your brother outside of one scene and a few lines in the epilogue, or otherwise get a satisfying conclusion to the storyline.”

The gameplay in "Galaxy Princess Zorana" builds upon the mechanics of its predecessor, "Long Live the Queen," by introducing more complex systems such as political simulations and an open-world structure that enhances strategy and replayability. Players engage in skill-building and mood management while navigating a galaxy filled with quirky electors, using various tactics to secure votes, which adds depth and unpredictability to the experience. However, some players found the initial learning curve steep and criticized the lack of direction compared to the previous game, suggesting that while the gameplay is richer, it may feel unfinished in certain aspects.
- “Builds and expands on the gameplay of Long Live the Queen while introducing a unique and interesting setting.”
- “The 'open world' aspect of Galaxy Princess Zorana adds a whole layer of extra depth and strategy to the classic stat-building gameplay Long Live the Queen already excelled at, traveling the galaxy with different builds to convince the electorates to vote for you using any means at your disposal; blackmail, flattery, marriage, deals, fulfilling their insane quests, or just simply kindly reminding them of their place once you have the pope and the military on your side after great efforts. It's just downright fun, because the open-ended approach to the victory condition adds a lot of replay value and unpredictable emergent gameplay scenarios which the previous entry, Long Live the Queen, lacked because of its linear progression.”
- “Galaxy Princess Zorana is an excellent and worthy sequel to Long Live the Queen that adds more strategy, emergent gameplay, and replay value, and it was definitely worth the wait, but the experience is much more enjoyable if you play Long Live the Queen first.”
- “As for the gameplay, I was completely lost in the beginning with hardly any direction, just flailing around which, unlike in Long Live the Queen, is not much fun. The skill checks also seem very arbitrary; in Long Live the Queen, there were at least hints leading you in the right direction.”
- “The dev suggested I turn on the option to choose at random, but to my mind that just removes what little gameplay is here.”
- “You're expected to go to the codex screen any time you see an unfamiliar term, find it by scrolling through many pages filled with '???' bars until you find the term, and then read the info you otherwise wouldn't be told in normal gameplay.”

"Galaxy Princess Zorana" offers significant replayability through its open-world design and diverse strategies for achieving victory, allowing players to explore various builds and approaches to political maneuvering. Unlike its predecessor, "Long Live the Queen," the game features an open-ended victory condition that fosters unpredictable scenarios and engaging choices, resulting in dozens of hours of replay value. Fans of visual novels and political themes will likely find themselves immersed for longer than in typical games of the genre.
- “The 'open world' aspect of Galaxy Princess Zorana adds a whole layer of extra depth and strategy to the classic stat-building gameplay that Long Live the Queen already excelled at. Traveling the galaxy with different builds to convince the electorates to vote for you using any means at your disposal—blackmail, flattery, marriage, deals, fulfilling their insane quests, or just simply kindly reminding them of their place once you have the pope and the military on your side—after great efforts, it's just downright fun. The open-ended approach to the victory condition adds a lot of replay value and unpredictable emergent gameplay scenarios, which the previous entry, Long Live the Queen, lacked because of its linear progression.”
- “The music is perfect for the different situations you might find yourself in, the different choices and their consequences are engaging, making for dozens of hours of replayability.”
- “If you like that kind of thing, plus visual novels and politics, you'll probably enjoy it longer than most games in a similar vein; it has a lot more replay value than your typical visual novel.”
- “The music is perfect for the different situations you might find yourself in, the different choices and their consequences are engaging, it makes for dozens of hours of replayability.”
- “It felt like there's a lot of replay value, similar to Long Live the Queen.”

character development

Character development in the game is visually appealing but ultimately feels incomplete, as players express dissatisfaction with the lack of resolution to key storylines and character arcs. While the background and questlines are engaging, the conclusion leaves many questions unanswered, prompting a desire for additional content to fully explore character relationships and unresolved plot points. Overall, the character development is seen as promising but in need of further expansion to achieve a satisfying narrative closure.
- “The character designs are vibrant and unique, featuring interesting colors, cat ears, and angel wings that add depth to their personalities.”
- “The character development throughout the lumen questline is engaging, but the conclusion feels rushed. There are many unanswered questions that leave players wanting more, particularly regarding the relationships and mysteries that could be explored further in a potential DLC.”
- “The character designs are interesting colors and have cat ears or angel wings, but without those features, they may as well have all been human.”
- “The background is good, but it feels inconclusive. I worked through the entire lumen questline to gain powers, only for it to serve as an epilogue mechanic. The game should not end there, as it leaves too many questions unanswered. Winning an election as the final outcome for all the character development is not enough to call this a proper game.”
emotional

Reviews indicate a mixed reception regarding the emotional aspect of the game, with some criticizing it as a result of lazy writing and a lack of depth in emotional complexity. However, the introduction of the "emotional wheel" adds a unique mechanic that influences gameplay based on the character's mood, suggesting an attempt to integrate emotional elements into the experience.
- “The 'raising' bit is played mostly straight, with the main novelty being the 'emotional wheel'; your princess's mood determines what skills they'll get bonuses or maluses to learning that turn.”
