Princess Maker 3 is a quintessentially nineties game in that it’s completely unintuitive and you’ll have to figure out the game through trial and error. After that, you pick your own character’s birthday and occupation and you’re off to the proverbial races. The first thing you do is pick her birth date and blood type (which has a profound effect on her starting stats, not that you’re told that). Princess Maker 3 casts you in the role of an adoptive father of a 10 year old girl, magically bestowed upon you by the fairy kingdom. The main issue with Princess Maker 3 is that it’s not so much an enchanced version of a decades old classic as Princess Maker 2 Refine recently was, but a rather sloppy Steam port threatening to dirty the sheen of the original. Needless to say (but I’ll say it anyway) I was anxious with anticipation to play Princess Maker 3, ported and translated for Steam nearly twenty years after the original game was released way back in 1998. Not so very long ago, I had a real blast from the blast when reviewing Princess Maker 2 Refine, an enhanced edition of a classic daughter-raising simulator from the iconic anime studio GAINAX.
