Gameplay[edit]
Code of Princess is a Hack and slash video game that features several game modes and over
50 playable characters. In single player mode there are available a story-driven campaign
mode with several scenarios where only 4 characters (Solange, Ali, Zozo and Allegro) are
playable, a "free play" mode that allows to play any campaign scenario with any available
character, and a "Bonus Quests" mode where additional scenarios are unlocked and must be
beaten with specific requirements. The game also has RPG elements, at the completion of a
scenario, the player receives experience points, money, and sometimes equipment to use on
the playable characters. When a character levels up the player can allocate status points
freely. There is also a multiplayer mode that uses the Nintendo Network where players can
play several scenarios cooperatively, or they can fight each other in a Versus Mode, up to
four combatants in a fight.
Plot[edit]
In a world populated by humans and monsters, Princess Solange Blanchefleur de Lux is
exiled from her home Kingdom of DeLuxia after it is attacked by monsters, and the royal
family is blamed for the attack by the Distron army. Armed with the Sacred Blade
DeLuxcalibur, Princess Solange sets out to find the cause of the monsters' violent behavior
while also avoiding the Distron Army, who are looking for the DeLuxcalibur. On her journey
Solange meets several people, including female thief Ali Baba, zombie-like Necromancer
Lady Zozo, bard/sage Allegro, martial artist Master T Drakkhen, blind samurai "Shooting
Star" Tsukikage, business-driven cat Marco Neko, and warrior/nun Sister Helga "Hel"
Wilhelmina. Zozo, Tsukikage and Master T join Solange because they feel "drawn" to the
DeLuxcalibur. Zozo also explains that she isn't currently in her real body, but rather created a
body for herself because her real body was stolen. Solange and her team eventually learn
that Distron's leader Queen Distiny is behind the monster attacks, and then fight the
generals of Distron, which include ninja Baku Juppongi, a former acquaintance of Ali;
sorcerer Alchemia, and General Liongate, who actually is Solange's brainwashed brother
Schwartz.
Solange's team eventually discovers that Queen Distiny is actually a cover identity for fallen
angel Dios Diablos Distille, who in the past tried to destroy the world but was defeated, and
now was trying to recover her strength to try again to destroy the world. Zozo reveals that
her real name is Milk Macchiato and that her body was stolen by Alchemia, who in reality is
her sister Cocoa, who had her own body stolen as well, by Queen Distiny. They also learn
that Distille's power source is her "Code" and the Empyrean Stone, and learn that the gods
created the stone and the monsters as means to keep the human population in check,
because in the past human civilization grew unchecked and nearly destroyed themselves.
Schwartz explains that Solange also has a "Code" of her own, the titular Code of Princess,
capable of countering Distille's Code.
The team briefly considers destroying the Empyrean Stone but don't do so as it is also the
source of the world's magic and the monsters. Solange's team then proceed to confront
Distille who reveals that she sealed her "Code" in a group of humans (Zozo, Master T and
Tsukikage) and lured them to come to her, and that she also needed the DeLuxcalibur to put
her Code back together and fully revive. Distille's plan failed, however, because Zozo wasn't
in her true body but rather in a corpse constructed form "spare parts" animated by magic,
and thus she didn't have the full portion of Distille's code sealed into her. A weakened
Distille is forced to flee to the Tower of Wrenne, location of the Empyrean Stone, seals
herself inside it, and taunts Solange, telling her that she won't dare to destroy the stone as
she fully knows the consequences of doing so, and then threatens that she will return in a
thousand years at full strength. Whether Solange destroys the stone or not triggers one of
the two endings:
Destroy the stone: Solange destroys the stone using the DeLuxcalibur and Distille is
defeated; this brings the side effect of magic and monsters disappearing. As Zozo's
corpse is animated by magic she begins to die; however Alchemia/Cocoa takes her
body back from Distiny and also returns Zozo's body; thus Zozo is finally able to
return to her real body.
Don't destroy the stone: Things are left as they are, and Solange is confident that
everyone's descendants will be able to fight Distille in the future. The team then
continues their journey, to return Zozo to her true body.
Development[edit]
It has been noted that the game looks and plays very similar to the Sega Saturn title
Guardian Heroes. Guardian Heroes' director and character designer Tetsuhiko Kikuchi and
lead programmer Masaki Ukyo worked on Code of Princess.
