To be honest, when I saw the name of this game, my first reaction was "another skin-changing and makeup game"? After all, coming from the Saipan era, I have seen too many things that pretend to be princesses but are actually stickers. But without bragging, this "Magic Princess Etiquette Academy" really surprised me.
Let's first talk about the common problems of similar games. Most of the beauty games on the market now either use krypton gold to draw cards and change outfits, allowing you to spend hundreds of dollars to buy a set of virtual dresses; or they have a single gameplay and are gone after a few clicks. And this game is free with no in-app purchases. This alone deserves a thumbs up. The developer Shenzhen Yunbu Interactive Entertainment seems to really want to make some content, rather than cutting leeks.
The deepest feeling after playing it is that it creates a "sense of ritual". For example, when doing a back massage, there will be a real feeling of dripping essential oil and tactile feedback of finger pressing. Although the mobile phone screen cannot completely simulate it, with the sound effects and animations, it is indeed much better than those perfunctory designs of "one click to complete automatically". The facial SPA is also very attentive. The steps of cleansing, massage and facial mask are quite complete. After the treatment, you really feel clean and relaxed. 😌
However, there are also shortcomings. Compared with the "Nuan Nuan" series, its clothing types and matching freedom are much worse. At Nuannuan, you can have fun with different styles. Here, you complete the course according to a fixed process, and there is limited room for creativity. Moreover, the plot is geared toward younger audiences and may be more suitable for teenage girls. Thirty-year-old players may find it a bit childish to play. 🤔
But looking at it from another angle, it just fills a gap in the market: simple, healing, and no-brainer. There is no need to stay up late for liver activities, no need to draw cards to earn money, just open the game and quietly "do a SPA" for yourself, and then look at the princess-style nail polish and sparkling eye shadow to decorate the dormitory beautifully. This kind of pure relaxation is rare in today's impetuous mobile game environment.
If you are the kind of player who likes "Miracle Nikki" but is tired of spending money, or just looking for a lightweight healing game, you might as well give this one a try. It may not amaze you, but at least it won't disappoint you. 👑
