Princess Crown (プリンセスクラウン) is a Japanese Action-RPG published by Atlus for the Sega Saturn video game system in 1997.

The game is a side-scroller with a medieval setting, and features real-time combat similar to fighting games such as Street Fighter and Mortal Kombat. It is possible to learn certain moves or button combinations which perform special attacks. As with many RPGs, experience points, money, and various items are obtained by defeating enemies.

Princess Crown begins with a little girl and her grandmother. The girl picks up a book and her grandmother starts reading the story of Princess Gradriel. The player then takes on the role of Gradriel throughout her adventure. After completing the story of Princess Gradriel, more books become available, which allow playing as other characters.

[edit] Legacy

The game was ported to Sony's handheld platform, PlayStation Portable in 2005. Featuring little to no enhancements, the game was a retro blast from the past for the fans, and a cheap buy for those, who missed the game first time around or didn't want to spend $100 plus on the Sega Saturn original. Neither Saturn nor PlayStation Portable versions were published outside of Japan.
