The story of the game is a slow-burn corruption narrative that, while engaging and featuring compelling character interactions, often feels bogged down by repetitive dungeon crawling and lewd content that overshadows the plot. Players appreciate the depth and multiple endings, but many find the pacing too slow and the necessity of revisiting similar scenarios tedious. Overall, it offers a unique blend of RPG elements and adult themes, appealing to those who enjoy a detailed storyline despite its flaws.
“Everything about this game is superb: art style, story, pacing.”
“The game has a good story and a masterful slow burn corruption—perhaps one of the best presentations of it that I've seen.”
“It's an engaging game that puts you in the shoes of Princess Leticia as she goes on a quest to get to the deepest layer of the sea god's shrine in the town of Zeven to prove she's worthy of being the next queen.”
“In order to unlock new scenes or progress in the story, you need to do a lot of dungeon crawling.”
“However, the lewd storyline takes possession of the game and takes a long time to run through - too long.”
“Assuming that you download the patch, it seems to consist of either a very long series of scavenger hunt events for lewd scenes, all of which you must see in order to progress the story, and a substandard dungeon crawl.”

The gameplay of this game is a mixed bag, featuring RPG-lite mechanics with class skill trees and dungeon grinding that some players find tedious and unengaging. While the randomly generated dungeons and character progression offer replay value and strategic depth, the combat can feel repetitive and overly reliant on item discovery, leading to a steep learning curve. Overall, the gameplay is seen as solid yet flawed, with potential for improvement in balancing the RPG elements and lewd content.
“The gameplay is solid and challenging as you not only have to juggle between the different classes and skills she can learn, but also the dungeons are somewhat randomized, meaning that floors are always different and don't allow you to go back once you've gone downstairs.”
“The gameplay in Princess of Zeven offers a randomly generated dungeon experience, adding a layer of unpredictability and replay value.”
“The game boasts a unique approach to character progression, with a variety of classes to choose from, skill trees to explore, and equipment mechanics to master.”
“This game is more of an RPG-lite; there are mechanics that come standard within RPG Maker, class skill trees, and multiple classes that require you to grind out dungeons and waste time with encounters. Most times, getting Pokémon Generation 1 misses almost every combat encounter, with no way to raise your accuracy.”
“In any way, the whole gameplay feels like a waste of time.”
“I do like that there are multiple romantic options, but the dungeon delving is a grind with boring encounters and little point, as the game mechanics for combat just aren't that interesting. Getting to the romantic options, despite all the lewd scenes everywhere, takes forever.”

Character development in the game is criticized for being overshadowed by excessive lewd content, making it difficult for players to engage with the more promising aspects of NPC growth. While there are moments of potential, the overall experience is marred by a lack of creativity and design compared to similar titles, leading to frustration in navigating the game's narrative.
“The character development in this game is truly engaging, with each character evolving in meaningful ways that enhance the overall narrative.”
“I love how the game allows for deep character customization, making each character feel unique and personal as they grow throughout the story.”
“The interactions between characters are rich and layered, providing a sense of realism and depth that makes their development feel rewarding.”
“Alternating with this is a sort of poor man's Dungeon Dreams, with a changing dungeon with many levels. Honestly, with the class change options, this game reminded me a lot of Dungeon Dreams, without the wonderful creativity, design, and spirit that game has. Sadly, there's even a quirky town, but here the lewd wins. While a few characters show promise here and there, to get to those moments of NPC character development, you have to blunder around and waste so much time on lewd scenes that it's a pain after a while.”
