Publisher Comment: 
 “Do not pass up the opportunity to check out Mad Princess. This eloquently designed game is utterly packed with originality. Utilizing the WOLF Editor engine in ways we have never seen before, much of the game system has been designed from scratch and is truly amazing.
The contents traverse a fine line between simulation and role-playing, with elements of character development, resource management and tactics. Work your way up the ranks at the Coliseum, grasp your freedom and continue onward to explore the vast world of Mad Princess.
 The lands of this world are jam-packed filled with unique NPCs and battles galore. From petty conversation and bartering, to duels and comradery… a variety of personalities which you can interact with in varying ways await you. Here we have a petitely packaged game containing an incredible variety of things you can do.
As for the localization process, we have a comment from our translator.
[I had a lot of fun translating Mad Princess, and it was difficult not to when I got to drop in references and historical allusions to Ancient Rome. Admittedly, the biggest challenge was keeping to the word count (which can often be rather strict in some of the indie games we translate).
With that being said, I felt like I was going on an adventure myself while reading through and translating the story. The characters themselves have such lifelike motivations which can be hard to come by in fantasy settings) and I hope players can take the time to get to know them as well while exploring this quasi-Ancient Roman world!]”
