Reviews:

This game is extremely boring to play because you are limited to doing 3 things all the time: fulfilling the duties of the protagonist, spying on the princess or the inhabitants of the castle and buying items from the merchant at night. This type of gameplay ends up being quite tiring and while other titles have a similar gameplay, they compensate with good sexual content for at least your little friend to enjoy, a case that is not met with this title since, as I said, the peeping scenes from the perspective of the protagonist are not at all erotic or explicit since you cannot really appreciate the sexual act as such. There are other games that also use sexual scenes from the perspective of the protagonist, such as Monica's Newlywed Life or Armored Suit Solgante, but in those cases you are also shown a "global" perspective where you can see the scenes clearly, a perspective that sadly is not present in this one.The idea of the game is interesting and could satisfy the fetish of voyeurism of the players, as well as the art of the heroine is certainly attractive, but the overall execution of the title leaves a bad taste in the mouth that fails to satisfy anyone.Without a doubt, this game is a disappointment for me, and for the price of 8 dollars I would not recommend it to anyone, since even Kagura has better titles with more and better content for the same price. Maybe if you are a fan of voyeurism and you see game with a high discount can become a worthwhile purchase, otherwise abstain.

It's very sad that the h-scene in this game is very few (can't remember correctly but not more than 20 scenes for sure) and almost every scene end up with third-view perspective (except some "imaginary" scene). And with no any contact between MC and FMC, this leave me with huge dissapointed feeling.

Final Verdict:

Recommended for fans of narrative-driven RPGs with a voyeuristic twist, *The Soldier and the Golden Princess* explores the forbidden relationship between the admired Princess Knight Lucrezia and the infamous General Abol. As a lowly soldier, uncover the truth behind their secret while navigating a tale of intrigue and subtle eroticism. Ideal for story-first adult game enthusiasts, especially during discounts.
