Dipping their mascot character into the party game genre, Nippon Ichi Software America (NIS America) have released Prinny Party: Going Overboard!, a four-player party game in which friends compete to come out on top, is out now on Nintendo Switch 2, Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 5 and PC.
The goal is to defeat the Supreme Overboard Laharl and his Protago-Knights. Players move around the board, earning experience, picking up stronger equipment and turning in quests to stay ahead of the others. When a boss spawns, everyone has to work together to take him down, but only the player who brings the boss back to spawn gets the credit for it. Players also need to make sure they do not all die at once, as that ends the game for everyone.
Physical chaos is part of the plan. Players can pick up and throw their friends, enemies and frenemies, although Prinnies need to be handled with care. Landing on a build space lets players build and upgrade facilities such as hospitals and armouries, with the catch that other players can shop at them too.
The Assembly aims to add another layer, where passing bills can unlock effects such as tripling damage, taking another move or building a cannon powerful enough to wipe out even the strongest demons.
