Gameplay
During the game, the player has the ability to go to various places in and around the castle. The player can talk with other characters, make decisions, and influence their relationship to them. Based on the decisions the player made, the game will end differently. Beside the visual novel elements, the game contains a turn-based card battle system. The player has to raise three stats to a certain number in order to win. Therefore, different cards are available. Some raise the stats of the player, others lower the stats of the opponent. The game contains a story mode and a freeplay mode. Within the freeplay mode, the player can trade cards, customize their deck, and battle various characters.
Development
The game was created with Ren'py, and was in development for over two years. Several voice actors provided some lines for the game. The game was written in English and features anime-style graphics. The game was officially translated into German by Marcel Weyers.[1] The game was rereleased on April 13, 2015 with additional content and the German translation on Steam.

Reception
Gamertell rated the game B+, saying: “If you like princess dating sim games (or really any dating sim games) but are tired of the same old button clicking stat building, then you should check out Princess Battles. You might also like it if you are into card battling games and looking for a little something different.”[2]
VNs Now! gave a rating of 8/10, saying: “Princess Battles isn’t the best written EVN of the year or the best looking or even the most memorable. But, it has something just as good as the last three: it is the most fun.”[3]
