The game's story revolves around geopolitics and the journey of a princess named Erica, who aims to unite her people during wartime. While some players appreciate the upbeat nature and humor interspersed throughout, others find the narrative overly complicated and linear, with a mix of engaging and forgettable elements. Overall, the story has potential but may not resonate with everyone, especially those less interested in political themes.
“The story is upbeat in nature; while Erica encounters a number of setbacks during the campaign, she remains positive and motivated through it all.”
“The devs went out of their way to make it a real game, with entertaining gameplay, many different areas to explore, lots of little secrets to discover, and a story that has quite a bit of meat to it.”
“The story is sweet; you are a princess and want to free your people, we know that all too well.”
“Games require a story, even erotic ones, but at one point you should know when to stop ranting about political systems and name-dropping places while discussing strategies that honestly nobody cares about.”
“Mechanics aside, the story is boring and overly complicated.”
“I would describe the story to you but I hardly remember most of the details, other than you are a princess trying to unite various peoples and save your land in wartime.”

“The devs have done almost everything right in my book: good gameplay, elaborate story, high production quality and excellent visuals.”
“Yes, it has better graphics than Slave Sword or other h-games (Liz the Tower, Shera, to name a few), but those games have substance and content, which 'Princesses Never Lose' doesn't have.”
