The game is set in an indefinite time period with influences from medieval times to the renaissance. The game opens with a pretty standard introduction and one which many games in the series have recycled: due to a war you have been tasked to raise an orphan who, under your guidance, can climb the upper echelons of society, learn the art of warfare, train as a dancer and pursue many, many more career and life paths. Princess Maker: Legend of Another World – the first title to be released for a Nintendo system – is based on the second entry in the series, but comes with some substantial stylistic and mechanical changes. Princess Maker has achieved a fair amount of popularity in Asia with the five entries, various spin-off titles and even a TV series loosely based on the games. Besides one failed translation project by SoftEgg in 1993, the franchise has never reached Western shores, and while the game may be considered by some as catering to a niche market, it is in fact a pretty solid “child raising” simulation.
The Princess Maker series by Akai/Gainax isn't all that well known in the West – which is hardly surprising.
