  • gameplay
    9 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay has received mixed reviews, with some players noting a lack of innovation and redundancy, while others appreciate the original time management mechanics enhanced by a weather system. Although the game offers solid mechanics and enjoyable pacing, it struggles to distinguish itself from similar titles in the genre. Overall, it provides around 9 hours of gameplay, with a mix of engaging elements and repetitive tasks.

    • “Thanks to the weather system, this time management is original, with more diversity in the gameplay.”
    • “Following the princess is a time management game characterised by great pacing, comfortable mechanics, terrific level design, and a metric load of easy Steam achievements.”
    • “The core gameplay is totally solid and fun; this game deserves way more attention than it seems to have gotten here on Steam.”
    • “There's no gameplay, just clicking.”
    • “Redundant in gameplay, not enough innovation.”
    • “Conclusion: while the weather effects added a bit of a twist to the gameplay, it does not really do nearly enough to set this aside from the popular 12 Labors franchise, which more or less cornered this niche on Steam.”
  • story
    6 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The story is described as cheesy yet engaging, with beautiful graphics and characters that enhance the experience. While the main campaign consists of 30 missions that can be completed casually, it serves as a direct sequel in the Weather Lord series, offering a polished narrative that, despite being the weakest installment, is essential for fans of the franchise. Overall, players can enjoy the story without feeling pressured by difficulty, allowing for a relaxed progression.

    • “It has an interesting story, beautiful graphics, and characters.”
    • “While following the princess is a direct sequel of the previous, fourth game of the Weather Lord series, it is so much more polished and fun that I'd say you can safely start with this one.”
    • “Like always, there is some kind of a cheesy story you can easily ignore, and around level 90, which are not too hard or too easy to beat to reach the gold award, though I had to replay some of them.”
    • “Although this game is probably the weakest in the series, if you own all the Weather Lord games, story-wise this episode is needed.”
    • “The main campaign of 30 missions took me 4.1 hours to complete (earning bronze on most -- so, not rushing).”
  • graphics
    5 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The graphics of the game are generally considered good, featuring charming visuals and well-designed characters, though some elements, like the overworld map and certain artwork, may appear less polished. While not the best in comparison to other titles, the graphics are still deemed playable and contribute positively to the overall experience.

    • “It has an interesting story, beautiful graphics, and characters.”
    • “This is a very nicely designed game with charming visuals and sound.”
    • “The overworld map, intro slideshow, and some zoomed-in artwork look a little cheap.”
    • “There are many better games out there, especially with better graphics, but this one isn’t too bad either and is still perfectly playable.”
  • replayability
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    While the game is highly addictive and enjoyable, many users feel that its replayability is limited after achieving gold stars on all levels. The absence of features like a record book for tracking times or competing against personal and global scores contributes to this perceived lack of replay value.

    • “I'm surprised they didn't add a record book to keep track of your times, because beating your own score (or worldwide scores) would add tons of replay value.”
    • “Considering how addictive it is, though, it's too bad that there isn't a lot of replayability once you beat every level with a gold star.”
  • monetization
    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The monetization strategy of the game is criticized as exploitative, with users labeling it a cash grab that lacks depth and engagement, primarily serving to generate revenue rather than provide a meaningful gaming experience.

    • “This is a mindless clicker/time management tablet game dumped as a cash grab onto Steam.”
    • “The monetization strategy feels exploitative, pushing players to spend money to progress.”
    • “It's frustrating to see so many features locked behind paywalls, making it hard to enjoy the game without spending.”
  • grinding
    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Players find the grinding aspect of the game to be derivative and repetitive, suggesting that it lacks innovation and can become tedious over time.

    • “The gameplay feels derivative and grindy, making it hard to stay engaged.”
    • “The constant grinding for resources becomes tedious and uninspired.”
    • “I found the grind to be repetitive and lacking in creativity.”
  • music
    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The music in the game is generally well-received, with players appreciating the soundtrack despite mixed feelings about the graphics.

    • “The soundtrack is a joy to listen to and really enhances the overall experience.”
    • “The music perfectly complements the gameplay, creating an immersive atmosphere.”
    • “I love how the soundtrack evolves with the game, adding depth to each level.”
