Slow living with Princess begins with a premise that immediately sets the tone for a gentler, more introspective kind of fantasy game. You play as Red, a former adventurer who has been cast out of the hero’s party and left disillusioned with the life of constant battle, looming threats, and political pressure. Rather than trying to reclaim glory, Red chooses to withdraw from the chaos altogether and settle in the frontier region of Zoltan, where he opens a humble apothecary and tries to build a quieter, more meaningful life. This shift toward simplicity becomes the emotional heart of the experience. The game isn’t about saving the world; it’s about rediscovering purpose through everyday tasks, healing others, forming bonds, and slowly rebuilding confidence after a painful past. That sense of a quieter, softer fantasy world distinguishes the narrative from more frantic RPGs. Once Red settles in Zoltan, the primary loop revolves around running his apothecary. Gathering herbs, brewing concoctions, crafting medicine, and managing customer needs become the main activities. The game does a good job of making this slow rhythm feel rewarding: each new recipe, each upgrade to your shop, and each improvement in your crafting efficiency contributes to a satisfying sense of progress. Farming, fishing, foraging, cooking, and light material gathering all feed into the apothecary’s inventory, creating a loop that encourages exploration without ever overwhelming the player. The pace remains relaxed and welcoming, offering small but steady milestones rather than demanding constant hustle. Even though Red has stepped away from full-time adventuring, the game doesn’t strip out combat entirely. You can still take quests from the adventurer’s guild, clear small dungeons, or hunt monsters for rare ingredients. Combat is simple and accessible, echoing the game’s larger philosophy: it adds variety rather than overwhelming the core experience. The progression systems tied to adventurer rank and equipment upgrades add just enough RPG texture to make excursions beyond Zoltan feel purposeful. They also help break up the shopkeeping routine, offering a pleasant contrast between peaceful daily life and light action-driven exploration. The heart of the experience, however, lies in its character interactions. Slow living with Princess leans heavily into relationship building, daily conversations, and small emotional moments. Red reconnects with Rit, a proud but vulnerable princess who once fought by his side. He also maintains a close bond with his sister Ruti, whose role as the world’s “hero” adds complexity to their relationship. Their interactions range from tender to humorous, and the choices you make influence how their stories evolve. Completing requests, fulfilling personal wishes, and deepening bonds contribute not only to narrative progression but also to the tone of the game, reinforcing its focus on emotional healing and companionship. This warm, domestic side of the game stands at the forefront, shaping the atmosphere as much as the gameplay itself. Visually, the game uses a bright, stylized 2D aesthetic that gives Zoltan and its surrounding wilderness a welcoming, pastoral feel. Environments are pleasant to explore, whether you’re wandering through forest trails, listening to the river by your house, or browsing the market stalls in town. Character sprites are expressive, and the UI follows a clean layout that complements the relaxed pacing. The art style, heavily inspired by light-novel and anime sensibilities, helps ground the game in its slice-of-life fantasy roots, making even mundane tasks feel cozy rather than repetitive. Slow living with Princess does have limitations, many of which stem from its decision to occupy a middle ground between simulation and RPG. The crafting loop, while charming at first, can feel repetitive over long play sessions if you focus too heavily on apothecary work. Likewise, combat lacks the depth or intensity of more ambitious action RPGs, and players expecting deep mechanics may find it simplistic. Because the story is rooted in familiar light-novel tropes, some narrative beats feel predictable, and certain emotional arcs rely heavily on the player already being invested in the characters’ backgrounds. For those expecting elaborate world-building or complex gameplay systems, the experience may feel lighter than anticipated. Nevertheless, the game confidently leans into its strengths. It is designed to be an escape — a soothing alternative to high-stakes fantasy adventures. Its appeal lies in the gentle routine of running a shop, caring for others, improving your home and business, and slowly building a life surrounded by people who genuinely matter to Red. It provides a sense of peace without becoming stagnant, and a sense of progression without demanding intense commitment. For players who enjoy slow-paced, character-driven simulation with a touch of adventure, Slow living with Princess offers a warm, comforting experience that embraces the beauty of ordinary days and the quiet triumphs found within them. Rating: 8/10

The plot follows the light novel/anime, which a few minor changes. It's fun exploring the world, farming (minimal), fishing, interacting with the other characters and killing monsters in and out of dungeons. My main dislike is the way the item storage is set up. Weirdly, Red always sleeps until 9am, and this time cannot be changed. I have stayed awake past 9am and nothing happens. Sleeping seems pointless for anything other that raising EP/HP.

Its fun, reminds me of that one anime with pretty much the same plot and characters, forget the name. (update) after looking it up, turns out it is in fact based on that anime, Banished from the heroes party lol.

If you watched the anime or read the LN, then i guess you would understand the story easily although some parts of the story may not accurately the same as the anime or LN. As for gameplay, this game is very grinding. Gotta chop chop those plants, bushes, shrooms and also mining stones and ores. Already played this game for more than 50 hours, and i am expecting it to reach hundreds of hours
