How to play Princess Connect! Re: Dive on PC with MEmu

January 21, 2021

Princess Connect!, also known as Priconne, is a multimedia franchise created by Cygames. The first game, released in Japan in 2015, didn’t meet the expectations and was canceled soon after, promoting the creation of a new game: Princess Connect! Re: Dive. This is a sequel of sorts that also works as a ‘what if?’ scenario, where the baddies won the final fight and the protagonist doesn’t really remember what happened.

Gameplay-wise, this game is catered to all of you who love casual gacha games with cute waifus, especially if you enjoy a good isekai story.

Gameplay

In Re: Dive, you play as Yuuki—you can change your username as many times as you want, don’t worry—a guy who fell from the sky and has no memories other than his name. As you may have already noticed, Yuuki is the only male character in the game. His guide and loyal advocate in this world he doesn’t know is the elf Kokkoro, and soon they are joined by the beautiful glutton Pecorine and the tsundere cat-girl Karyl, with whom they create the Gourmet Guild.

You can have up to 5 characters in your team, and all units have a set position: front, middle, or back. You could have 5 front units if you will, or 5 units attacking from the back; that won’t be an issue, although you should reconsider your strategy. At the same time, some units deal physical damage, while some others deal magic damage, another aspect you need to take into consideration. In the main story, all battles have 3 waves of enemies (sometimes the final wave is a boss fight), and you need to defeat all enemies on screen before moving on to the next one. If all your units survive, then you win 3 stars. If one of your girls dies, then you only earn 2 stars, and if 2 or more of your girls don’t make it but you still win the battle, you only get 1 star. Only if you clear a stage with a perfect score you’ll be able to use Skip Tickets to simulate the battle for instant loot—it still consumes stamina, though—so perfect scores are more important than what you might think.

Visuals

It honestly looks way better than some anime currently on-air and Princess Connect actually looks great when you’re playing it. We know not all of you enjoy chibi characters in your mobile games, but in this case, they are so well designed that everything works. Coincidentally is one of the best companies when it comes to anime game graphics. All in all, we love a clean UI, and all gear designs are somewhat cool-looking, so we’re pretty happy about how it all comes together.

Sound, Music

The cherry on top of Priconne’s cake is that all anime scenes are fully voiced. And not only that, because they got some very famous voice actresses to play these waifus! If you watched Princess Connect! Re: Dive the anime, then this is not a surprise to you, but this game features Kana Hanazawa, Yoko Hikasa, Sora Amamiya, Yui Horie, Aoi Yuuki, and Rie Takahashi, just to name a few. What a fine seiyuu cast!

Last but not least, we must highlight the OST. From the powerful string arrangements in the main theme to the victory fanfare or the battle background music, it’s hard not to fall in love with Priconne’s soundtrack. It’s totally fine if you don’t like the game, but we won’t believe you don’t like the soundtrack!
