The story is light and somewhat simplistic, revolving around a spoiled princess competing with Olivia for her throne, with limited character development. While the narrative can feel short and basic, it is complemented by charming humor and creative elements that keep the experience enjoyable. Players seeking a deeper or more complex plot may find it lacking, but it fits well for fans of quirky visual novel and card battle hybrids.

- “Princess Battles is a charming, quirky, totally enjoyable little card battle/visual novel hybrid that despite a silly story and simple gameplay stands as a shining example of how creativity and humor can make a smaller title more fun than flashier games in the genre.”
- “Tournaments, black market card trading, demonic overlords, card battle schools, all ridiculous ideas that click together and work mostly because the story never takes itself too seriously.”
- “Story: a spoiled and disinterested princess feels her position as heir to the throne threatened by an upstanding citizen named Olivia.”
- “Don't expect much more story than, 'I'm not letting Olivia take my place!'”
