Kaiju Princess is not a game I would recommend in good faith. You’re practically paying for H-content. Which can be found for free in either the hub or y’know where.

Full disclosure. The sequel Arrogant Kaiju Princess is leagues beyond its predecessor, and I played that first. So all the still 2D CGs present here are blown off the water by the luscious live 2D animation.

Anyways. I cannot deny that “Kaiju princess” acted as the springboard to its franchise. And I’m somewhat grateful for it in that regard. Though you can see a lot of the awkwardness that comes with trailblazing in the market of these games, mainly through the pitiful budget they had to work with. Which is apparent in the incomplete VA work that surprisingly comes in Japanese and Mandarin Chinese.

The only real commitment to this expenditure is the ending segment being fully voice acted, as a proper send-off to the simple excuse or story.

Yet, it hurts the production value. The disparaging contrast is sudden and hits you with a painful whiplash. Mostly due to you reading through eight hours of “game” paired with a forgettable song on blast + The VA throwing their occasional one-liner as an irritable reminder of what could've been. So you should understand how the protagonist and the titular Kaiju princess weave this spell of languidity… Even with the allure of “sex” appeal on the horizon. Tears well up to boredom. The game brandishing mammary glands and curves are powerless to save it.

One of the biggest contributors to that is the cumbersome menus which have little to no quality of life. They take various loading screens to navigate whenever you want to attack or earn money. Now, compared to the sequel these menus can seamlessly transition with no wait time.

So with that. You have the sexy time minigame with our lazy Kaiju princess which is novel for ten to five minutes. Then you scorn it for being a terrible grind for relationship points to unlock the H-scenes and or optional interactions.

Also the Kaiju princess (Xao) who apparently found a website to become a sort of escort is found by the Protagonist. She’s contacted to sell her body and now lives with him in exchange for food and shelter.

Ok, they both get to it and Xao is not even there as a person for half the game. That’s until the protag offers his brilliant mind envied the world over to plan her pitiful Kaiju attacks. The quota employed by the all powerful home world requires negative emotions or they’ll send someone to clean Xao’s pitiful lazy mess. Meaning that humanity is going to be wiped off the face of the earth.

Our hero in shining armor from all I’m aware just scares the populace by destroying buildings rather than killing people and thus generating more fear. A definite improvement from what Xao was doing. But I don’t really get the narrative on it being exhausting and even taxing on the protagonist. The game fails to portray this plotpoint beyond telling you straight up.

“Our dear hero has been overworked planning these attacks. How? Don’t ask. He just plans to exhaustion! That's what.”

Now now. I know this is a naughty game. And frankly. I'm nitpicking the plot. What I can’t forgive is that the H-content is sub-par. Not because of its mostly vanilla nature or fetishes that I’m not a fan of, namely the gluteus maximus type.

It’s the absence of the Kaiju princess as a character and the misuse of the costumes. The theming is often laughably poor. The only one that fits well would be the maid one. But honestly? It’s just roleplay with a master and servant interaction.

Well, I want to tell you that the Kaiju Princess has a Celestial body and that seems interesting, No?. So when she gets the Magical girl costume. I was hyped as hell. But what happens?

The protagonist starts speaking about his delusional kink of thighs. Then proceeds to rawdog the thigh highs of the costume. Huh???????
Why can’t you resort to roleplay or have her transform into an alternate magical form while you both figure something sexy. Hell. Make it awkward and I’d die of cuteness or dunno.

Now this might be too much to ask. I know. But I want something fun. Not the bog standard of something I could've easily found for free. Captivate me. I beg of you.

Nonetheless I will props to the swimsuit and bikini outfits for staying in reasonable themes, namely taking place in a bathtub or small inflatable pool. Along with how Xao finally becomes a character, beyond being the personal sex-device of the protagonist.

Not to mention the protagonist seemingly explores a lot of common fetishes to garner a wider audience which is fine. But there’s no buildup or backstory. It’s all so sudden and forced. It really devalues the whole mood and general context,

Well. I can’t seem to give a compliment without going into a fit with a specific aspect. So:

• The CGs are well drawn. Nothing mind blowing but the artists can be lauded for their skills.
  
  
• Once Xao starts seeing the protagonist’s exhaustion she shows some tidbits of affection and general care. Admittedly cute.
  
  
• The bad ending arguably has the best CG illustration with kaijus rampaging and bringing the downfall of humanity.

Almost all the costumes have a follow up (aka part 2) where it's obvious they exist to recycle most of the previously drawn illustrations. But they generally were a smart addition. (Except when my least favorite fetish appeared)

Though it made me think about the sequel. The outfits there are stunning compared to its predecessor and you could see the amount of effort put into them. Holds especially true if you bought the artbook. What I find a shame is that the costumes in the sequel with their custom patterns that they had to come up with. Or detailed accessories are sorta wasted on appearing only once in their respective H-scene and the sexy time minigame.

Underutilization is the flaw here. Better than what Kaiju Princess has at least, with its scarce content barely eking out eight hours.

All In all. I still recommend the game if you’re coming from the sequel. Otherwise stay away. May my friends see this game due to my recommendation ;)

I play allot of H games, I'm your typical degenerate.
Hard to understand why this is Overwhelming positive.
Game is not fun at all and not worth full price.
Repetitive and boring... only positive point is to cuteness.

W Waifu, Woulda copped the figure if it wasn't in a different currency

great story
