Quote:
Frantic and fun, Fat Princess pits two hordes of players against each other in comic medieval battle royale. Your goal is to rescue your beloved princess from the enemy dungeon. There’s a catch though: your adversary has been stuffing her with food to fatten her up and it’s going to take most of your army working together to carry her back across the battlefield.
You can switch between five different character classes literally at the drop of a hat: the fearless Warrior, the steadfast Archer, the mystical Mage, the tireless Worker, and the deadly Priest. In order to triumph, players must combine their skills and work together. The name of the game is cooperation, whether it’s helping another player drag a log back to your castle, manning a battering ram to smash through the enemy’s front gate, or building a human pyramid to scramble over the walls.

So, let me get this straight...
A princess is locked in a dungeon. She is fed constantly against her will.
The prince or whomever chooses to rescue her. This requires teamwork to save her from a fate worse than death - helpless obesity.
You are not saving her from herself. You are saving her from perpetual confinement by a worthy adversary.
Where does it state that the princess chooses to overeat?
Oh, wait, it didn't.
Where does it state that fat people aren't worth rescuing from a dungeon?
Ummm, nowhere.
Does the game include getting the princess back into shape?
Doesn't look like it.
Designed in bad taste?
Subjective, but probably so. For this reason, I am not shocked that some are offended by it.
A blatant insult to fat people?
Honestly, no.
I personally don't think it looks like much fun. I probably wouldn't play it. I definitely wouldn't purchase it. There are a lot of stupid games out there. I will add this to the stupid list, alongside "Hail to the Chimp."
