✦ AI summary

Princess Remedy in a World of Hurt is a charming and quirky RPG inversion where players cure diseases instead of fighting monsters, with players consistently praising its whimsical humor, retro aesthetic, and surprisingly challenging gameplay that demands focus despite its lighthearted premise. The game is short and compact, appealing even to those who don't typically enjoy the bullet-hell genre it incorporates, though reviews suggest it's best appreciated for its novelty and comedic value rather than depth.

A fun inverse of an RPG: Instead of fighting monsters, you're curing diseases and after you cure the characters you find a happier ending. Don't mistake this whimsy for an easy game all the way through! It gets hard enough to where you have to focus.

So silly, so fun so retro, so short, so small (only 20mb) I’m not even a fan of bullet-hell games

Planet Coaster DLC: skip the collection, buy the packs

The Planet Coaster DLC catalogue closed in 2019, so there is no curve left to wait out. Our record shows the collection bundle costs far more than assembling the same packs one by one.
