Prinny: Can I Really Be The Hero? Game Trailer
Gameplay:
Prinny makes use of the PSP's wireless functionality to record play and download maps and other bonuses. One of its unique features is that, owing to the game's high difficulty, the player gets 1000 lives.
As the ingame hours to complete the mission tick down, the time of day changes, and so do several of the stages alongside the enemies present in the game. In many cases, this can even change the stage's boss, and may also affect the reward the player gets for defeating the boss.
At the end of a stage, the total time to complete the stage (compared to the record time), the total prinnies dead for that stage (both in the stage and against the boss) and the collection of the lucky dolls is tallied up. This gives the Prinny a rank falling between D to S. Some achievements are earned by either having a fast time or high rank.
The Prinny has a double jump, alongside an aerial slash and hip drop. Holding the circle button allows the Prinny to spin. This allows him to dash off, making him move faster. Should the player press down during the dash, the Prinny will slide, allowing him to temporarily become invincible.
As the game revolves around collecting ingredients for Etna's dessert, many enemies and characters are food based, either in design or name. These include the Gourmet King, the Mage Knight twins "Kim" and "Chi", or the apple and corn monsters.
The game also has many traits taken from another Nippon Ichi game, Makai Kingdom, using a large variety of its monster classes (most food monsters, Apples, Corn, Carrots, along with Spectres, Brush monsters, and Lucky Statues; Gourmet Monsters appear as one boss as well), and many of its vehicles (including a large, slow, yet powerful tank, a machine gun firing pogo turret, and a self-automated levitation machine). Asagi, who made her Debut in Makai Kingdom, plays a large role in the game's Alternate mode, though she has appeared in every Nippon Ichi game past this debut. Credits to: wikipedia.org
