All games in this genre struggle to varying degrees with “the grind”, and throwing out a bunch of options of who to fight with was definitely the focus in this title. Unfortunately, outside of your abundance of fighters to choose from most of the combat is pretty ordinary, and gets repetitive after a while. If you take the opportunity to play with every new character that comes along you won’t notice this problem as quickly since you’ll have new techniques and combos to learn. If, however, you feel like you’ve got your ideal character and tend to stick with them don’t be surprised if you find it all getting pretty repetitive. No matter how many bonus levels or added content you unlock if you’re not taking advantage of this specific title’s method of keeping things fresh you’re more likely to be disappointed. Overall, I appreciate the very different path Code of Princess EX has taken to try to set itself apart. The key to enjoyment very much seems to go hand in hand with how much you embrace the diversity of playable characters and are willing to explore using them. Fighting styles vary pretty wildly between them all and even playing through the same stage over and over again can be unpredictable when you’re working with someone new. Especially if you’re able to pair up with some friends and enjoy the challenge of finding success with a wide variety of characters Code of Princess delivers a unique brawler experience.
