Slow living with Princess

Its fun, reminds me of that one anime with pretty much the same plot and characters, forget the name. (update) after looking it up, turns out it is in fact based on that anime, Banished from the heroes party lol.

Grindy, but an easy-going game that you can play different ways. Very time consuming, but worth it.

Slow living with Princess begins with a premise that immediately sets the tone for a gentler, more introspective kind of fantasy game. You play as Red, a former adventurer who has been cast out of the hero’s party and left disillusioned with the life of constant battle, looming threats, and political pressure. Rather than trying to reclaim glory, Red chooses to withdraw from the chaos altogether and settle in the frontier region of Zoltan, where he opens a humble apothecary and tries to build a quieter, more meaningful life. This shift toward simplicity becomes the emotional heart of the experience. The game isn’t about saving the world; it’s about rediscovering purpose through everyday tasks, healing others, forming bonds, and slowly rebuilding confidence after a painful past.

A lot of fun, and way more in depth than i thought it would be. I honestly was expecting it to be way more boring and barren. Im glad I was proven wrong and Im sad I slept on this game for so long before finally buying it. I only wish more content could get added! Either way i reccomend.

The plot follows the light novel/anime, which a few minor changes. It's fun exploring the world, farming (minimal), fishing, interacting with the other characters and killing monsters in and out of dungeons. My main dislike is the way the item storage is set up. Weirdly, Red always sleeps until 9am, and this time cannot be changed. I have stayed awake past 9am and nothing happens. Sleeping seems pointless for anything other that raising EP/HP.
