We first heard about Penny-Punching Princess last summer when NIS America announced the game alongside another RPG, The Longest Five Minutes. The latter arrived on the console just last month but, thanks to this brand new trailer, we also now have more details about the former.
Featuring the titular character Princess (a stoic, pragmatic girl who only trusts money), her butler Sebastian, the zombie Isabella, a god of money called Zenigami, and a mighty dragon-fella called Dragoloan, the game's cast seems to show an abundance of character and humour.
The game is a beat 'em up RPG revolving around the idea that "money can solve all your problems". You can bribe your way past enemies, traps, and even some boss-level opponents with the power of money. Basically just like real life, then?
Penny-Punching Princess is set to launch on 30th March in Europe, with the slightly later date of 3rd April in the US. A limited edition of the game is also available - and can be pre-ordered as we speak - containing the game, lapel pins, keychains, a credit card-shaped USB containing the soundtrack, and a gold bar collector's item.

I'm pretty excited for this as a lover of rpgs and a math nerd.
Like the general concept and the "BMUP" rpg part... I'll keep an eye on it
Yes thank goodness for physical release.
I've had this pre-ordered for months without really knowing much about it. It looks like it might be pretty fun though so I see no reason to cancel my pre-order.
I don't understand this game but I think I want it.
I will wait for reviews. I feel skeptical about it, but hope I'm wrong.
Since Shantae Half Genie got pushed to late April, I will pre-order this today!
I'm tempted by this but it's a fully price £39.99 game on the eshop which seems a bit steep til I see reviews and reactions to it.
Too expensive for penny pinching gamers.
Already pre-ordered the limited edition when I pre-ordered The Longest 5 minutes!
These games are really fun and the limited editions have nice collectables.
Gonna get this for Physical for sure!
@Nincompoop LoL. Hahaha comment of the day thanks for the laugh I needed that .
The humor and the art direction are definitely awesome, and i generally like beat'em ups and hack'n slash games, so the only decision i have to make is if i'll get the regular or the collector's edition.
love the look of this. the concept is so novel and the style is charming, hopefully there is a physical EU release
The final form of capitalism.
First the calculator class in FFT and now an action RPG starting a character with a calculator.
The intro to this video are microtransactions in a nutshell.
This looks interesting. I'm really getting some "Code of Princess" vibes from it, and that's certainly a good thing.
@SayGuh
There is, it's up for preorder on amazon Germany for 40€.
Random indie game reminiscent of phone ARPGs launches with collector's edition? I must be missing something here.
Looks cool but its like £40 though
