Chalgyr's Game Room writes: There has been something of a resurgence in the beat 'em up genre over the last year or so. Whether it was seeing an older property given a new gloss of paint such as Dungeons Dragons: Chronicles of Mystara or the fairly well-received Sorcerer's Crown. That these two titles had a fantasy theme might also play a factor in the attempt to bring Battle Princess of Arcadias to North America on PlayStation 3. The first thing to note is that the visuals are striking in their use of color and movement. At a glance, it really reminds me of Child of Light, perhaps because of the red haired female protagonist at the center of the action. While the visuals have a vivid fantasy feel to them, they are not quite as crisp as Ubisoft's platforming RPG, nor do the games play anything alike. Battle Princess of Arcadias is a side scrolling beat 'em up through and through, though it does have some nice RPG style hooks built into the gameplay as well.
