Prinny 1-2: Exploded and Reloaded
Prinny 1•2: Exploded and Reloaded is a lovely piece of gaming history that holds up decently well and is still a fun little platformer to this day.

About
Master Etna demands the ultimate dessert, and it is up to a legion of lowly Prinnies to make it! Jump, slash, and combo your way through different stages of the Netherworld, devastate enemies and bosses with special attacks, and encounter both new and familiar faces in this explosive action adventure from the twisted minds behind the DISGAEA series!





- Nostalgic action-paced gameplay with comedic dialogue and voice acting that fans of the Disgaea series will appreciate.
- The game offers bizarre yet enjoyable adventures with a level structure that encourages exploration.
- Despite some control issues, the gameplay is intense and provides a satisfying challenge for players who enjoy platforming.
- Repetitive gameplay and cumbersome controls can lead to frustration, especially with imprecise jump mechanics.
- The two games included feel too similar, lacking enough unique content to justify playing both.
- Some players may find the experience tedious, as it can feel more like battling the character's controls than engaging with the levels themselves.

The adventures offered in Prinny 1•2 Exploded and Reloaded are bizarre yet fun to venture through, even if they are held back by slightly cumbersome controls. Don’t get me wrong, they can be pretty tough and certainly aren’t for platforming newbies, but each level offers plenty of enjoyable moments and they never feel unfairly difficult – just slightly frustrating when you end up losing one of your valuable Prinnies because the game didn’t offer enough precision with your jumping. You do get used to it the more you play though and, whilst the controls are never perfect, they’re adequate enough to get through both of the unusual but ultimately entertaining escapades featured in Prinny 1•2 Exploded and Reloaded.
