Penny-Punching Princess is a hack-and-slash RPG developed by Nippon Ichi Software, released in 2016 for PlayStation Vita and Nintendo Switch. Set in a world where capitalism governs all, the game centers on a princess who fights to reclaim her kingdom from the powerful Dragoloan Family. Combat blends direct brawling with an unusual currency-based mechanic: money collected during battles can be used to bribe enemies into switching sides, or spent to trigger lethal traps scattered across the environment. When neither diplomacy nor traps suffice, straightforward melee combat fills the gap. Progression revolves around accumulating wealth and treasure to grow stronger, weaving economic strategy into the moment-to-moment action. The result is a beat-'em-up that treats gold not merely as a reward but as a core tool of survival and tactical play.
