It features 10 princesses that each have mysterious crests appearing on their bodies. Players will need to combine the strength of these princesses in order to seal away the Great Demon King. During a meeting between all the princesses, a consensus couldn\u2019t be reached which set off a battle for the fate of the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As for the gameplay, it\u2019s a deck building tower-defense style game where players use cards to summon allies, and skills can be activated by using the skill gauge that fills up over time. The goal of these battles is to attack and overwhelm your opponent\u2019s castle. <em>Duel Princess<\/em> contains close, medium, and long-range units that create a 3-way relationship of advantages and disadvantages. And if you have two of the same card in your hand, they can be combined and strengthened with the \u201cOverride\u201d system. With these different skills and systems, the game has a number of strategic elements for players to make use of.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1280\" height=\"720\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px\" src=\"http:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/20211223-186930-001.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-7885\" srcset=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/20211223-186930-001.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/20211223-186930-001-600x338.jpg 600w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/20211223-186930-001-380x214.jpg 380w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/20211223-186930-001-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/20211223-186930-001-150x84.jpg 150w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/20211223-186930-001-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/20211223-186930-001-696x392.jpg 696w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/20211223-186930-001-1068x601.jpg 1068w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/20211223-186930-001-747x420.jpg 747w\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1280\" height=\"720\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px\" src=\"http:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/20211223-186930-002.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-7886\" srcset=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/20211223-186930-002.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/20211223-186930-002-600x338.jpg 600w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/20211223-186930-002-380x214.jpg 380w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/20211223-186930-002-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/20211223-186930-002-150x84.jpg 150w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/20211223-186930-002-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/20211223-186930-002-696x392.jpg 696w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/20211223-186930-002-1068x601.jpg 1068w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/20211223-186930-002-747x420.jpg 747w\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><br>The field map of the game is made up of spaces that players move between.
