Game Recommendation #2: Princess Remedy

Princess Remedy in a World of Hurt (by Ludosity developers) is a fun, challenging RPG (role-playing game) , and guess what? It's free! You can find it on Steam for free, and you can get a prequel expansion pack (Princess Remedy in a Heap of Trouble) for $2.99 (I have yet to finish the game so I haven't seen the expansion pack yet).

Game Play 

The gameplay of Princess Remedy is similar to other RPG's, but there is no turn based gameplay. In the game, you take the role of Princess Remedy and help heal the world of 
Hurtland. 

After searching through the hub world, you can go into towns and structures to explore. You can talk to the NPC's (non-player characters) and they'll tell you if their sick, and then you'll go into a battle mode called heal mode. Within heal mode, you constantly shoot pellets and have to defeat all the enemies in order to heal the NPC. If you get hit, you will heal slowly, but if you die, you have to start over. It starts out rather easy but gradually becomes difficult as the enemies begin to vary. 
You get upgrades constantly, but the 
game gets twice as 
hard as you get twice as strong. 

Game Modes 

In this game, there are three game modes of difficulty, but that's not the only reason to replay this game. In the game, you can make conscious decisions that change the story of the game. This makes it incredibly re-playable so that you can see all the different story lines. 

Writing

The writing in this game is wonderful. It may have simple graphics, and its story isn't incredibly complex, but the writing makes it fun and quirky. There are constant jokes that usually use irony and expectation that come from the NPC's dialogue. It only takes a few hours to complete the entire game, since the story is rather short, but again, there is a ton of replay-ability. 

Who would I recommend this to? 

I would recommend this game to generally anyone. It's game modes make it accessible to both hardcore gamers and casual, and it's fun and quirky style makes it a fun way to pass the time. Its challenge can be hard to get past, but it never gets to the point where it's frustrating. The greatest part is, at a price of $0.00, there's no real reason not to check it out. You can find the free version on Steam and the expansion pack here.
