The story
Loren The Amazon Princess is a fantasy visual novel with RPG elements. The player reads through the story and occasionally has to fight against fantasy monsters.
What it’s like
Loren the Amazon Princess is a visual novel, so its look is built on static illustrated scenes, bright character portraits and framed dialogue boxes, with the fantasy world drawn in saturated, cartoonish colour rather than realism. Expect cheerful, somewhat cheeky artwork of forests, castles and taverns, with a light, playful soundtrack of fantasy-flavoured tunes that suits an unhurried PC or Mac session. The mood is lighthearted and goofy, a comedy with a fond eye for fantasy clichés like wizards, dwarves, elves and demons. Pacing is driven by reading, with the occasional turn-based monster fight breaking up the dialogue and never lingering long. Its intensity is low: combat is cartoonish and bloodless, with no gore, and the sexual or romantic content is light and tongue-in-cheek. Its emotional register is warm and self-aware, following a heroine who is confident and capable and whose adventures are told with humour. It suits a rainy weekend with a controller-free, reading-led game, a comfort play while half-listening to something else, or anyone who wants a silly, gentle fantasy romp with a queer-inclusive cast and no real threat.
