The Battle Princess of Acadias Gets Her Hands Dirty on PSN

While many titles on the PlayStation Vita offer pick-up-and-play action, this accessible format is a little less common on the PlayStation 3. Fortunately, if you're looking for something to snuggle up with your hard drive, the Battle Princess of Acadias has heard your call. This side-scrolling scrapper will provide you with plenty of monster slaying action on the PlayStation Network in North America and Europe later this year.

Rather than command her armies to their doom, Princess Plume is a hands-on kinda gal, joining the fray of battle herself. You won't find yourself tied down to our young monarch, though, with the ability to switch between a varied arsenal of adventurers during combat. As such, if bashing a boss' brains in doesn't work, you can just play dirty and shoot it into Swiss cheese instead. While its digital delivery mechanism may leave collectors fuming, its PSN exclusivity means that it probably won't break the bank. Do you find yourself with a side-scrolling itch?
