My Kingdom for the Princess IV retains all of the fun of the first three games with the exciting new additions that keep the gameplay fresh. And, of course, it wouldn't be My Kingdom for the Princess if you weren't building a fantasy castle each time you complete a level in gold star time. The ability to "chain" your moves is an exceedingly welcome new twist as well. The addition of multiples also changes strategies as labor becomes more vital than ever. A new dynamic causes the floating islands to "move" as the cursor moves, enhancing the 3D effect. The scenery involved has changed as well, as Nevosoft has eschewed the traditional flat, two-dimensional maps in favor of floating, three-dimensional islands. Did I mention the monsters are now all baby dragons? Fortunately they've also added new buildings that can help shoot down the attacking dragonets. Remember those flying monsters that would hold up the game until you clicked them out of existence? Yep, multiples of them as well. Piles of resources are now real piles, each requiring more than one trip to pick up everything, and the same goes for obstacles. Nevosoft has ramped up the gameplay by adding a new twist. You control workers who pick up resources, clear roads, build bridges, and accomplish the tasks needed to clear a scene for travel to the next. Fortunately a few princesses get themselves in a jam and Arthur has a chance to grow the business.

Some random prince named Arthur, but not the same Arthur from the first three games, has been tasked by his father to set up a princess rescuing service.


Once in a while, though, something untoward happens and you get the call to arms! Nevosoft is back with another exciting round of time management princess rescuing shenanigans in My Kingdom for the Princess IV, and the action is faster, more furious, and more rescuey, along with 50% more dragons! After all, most princesses can take care of themselves, so there's not a lot of call for rescuing these days. It's tough to find a job in today's economy, isn't it? Especially if you specialize in something pretty obscure like, say, rescuing princesses.
